PCC Melrose Park Family Health Center

PCC Community Wellness Center provides primary, dental, and behavioral health care for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors at 14 locations throughout Illinois. At their PCC Melrose Park Family Health Center in Melrose Park, Illinois, they offer outpatient services, including a Chemical Dependency Clinic for adults in addiction recovery. They accept self payment as well as most major health plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. A discount program is also available.

I like that this facility meets you where you are and sets treatment goals just for you. On your first visit, they’ll conduct a quick evaluation to understand the challenges you’re working through and what you want to achieve. If they believe that addiction medication can help you recover with more success and less pain, they may prescribe it. At this location, they offer buprenorphine, Suboxone, or Vivitrol to help control your symptoms, minimize your cravings, and lower your risk of relapse. There’s also a special program that uses pregnancy safe medications for expecting women.

In addition to medication, they’ll help you connect with counselors who you can meet with to talk about your condition. They’ll share helpful advice and teach you healthy life skills, including productive ways to cope with stress and anxiety. Even after you complete your counseling sessions, you can still visit the center for ongoing support services.

Past clients call this facility helpful, informative, and supportive. However, many have noted difficulties with scheduling and front desk communication.
