About Peer Services – Evanston
Peer Services, in Evanston, Illinois, provides recovery treatment for teens and adults experiencing substance addiction. The community-based program helps residents of Evanston and those nearby in Chicago and Northfield Townships.
Medication-assisted recovery (MAR) is available for guests struggling with opioid addiction. A physician will determine if this treatment will benefit you. They use FDA-approved medications, like methadone, to lessen withdrawals so you can concentrate on recovery. This service is combined with counseling to pinpoint the root causes of your addiction so you can move past them for sustained sobriety.
Although they provide outpatient care, guests will have a structured environment where they can focus on recovery without distractions. They work to connect you with others who share the goal of long-term sobriety so you can grow together and not feel isolated, which can happen with substance use.
They also provide holistic treatment methods like mindfulness activities that promote relaxation and may reduce stress. Guests have other therapeutic sessions that allow the time to discuss anything hindering sobriety.
Guests also learn how to develop healthy nutrition plans and proper exercise practices that keep them engaged in recovery and thriving. You’ll learn daily living skills and enhanced parenting skills that give you the resources for sustained sobriety while managing your emotions and potential conflicts after treatment. Art therapy incorporates creativity with counseling and can help with self-expression and fostering connections with others.
Peer Services includes DUI classes and evaluations for those with driving violations. Their program meets the State of Illinois requirements.
