Recovery Centers of America | St. Charles

Recovery Centers of America at St. Charles is located on 125 acres with a pond and outdoor recreational areas in St. Charles, Illinois. The center has drug and alcohol detox, residential and outpatient addiction treatment and mental health treatment programs for adults. They work to make your treatment affordable by offering no interest payment plans if necessary. They’re in network with many insurers. They’ll also work with your provider even if they’re not in the network.

The accommodations are in residential cottages where you’ll be segmented based on your treatment focus and gender. The rooms are semi-private and feature full size beds, individual bathrooms and televisions. There’s a wellness center and gym and they focus on serving nutritious, homemade meals.

There’s a detox program where you’ll first rid your body of toxic substances. Here, you’ll have 24/7 medical monitoring. If appropriate, you’ll be given medication to help ease your withdrawal symptoms.

They offer an inpatient program called Foundations of Recovery Pathway for those in their first substance use recovery treatment program. In this program, you’ll learn about the disease of adiction and its negative consequences for your body and mind. You’ll work one on one with a therapist to develop your unique treatment plan. There’s individual and group therapy, and you’ll learn the 12 Step model of recovery.

If you’ve been in recovery before and are coming back, you’ll be in the Fresh Start Pathway program to get you back on track. You’ll learn how to build a healthy support system while creating new goals and reestablishing your commitment to your recovery.

Many people with substance use disorder have co-occurring (dual diagnosis) mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. If this is the case for you then you’ll be in the Balance Pathway program. You’ll meet with a therapist to create a plan that helps you design an integrated treatment to cope with both disorders. You’ll also have group therapy and your treatment and medications will be supervised by a psychiatrist.
