Conditions and Issues Treated
Alcoholism
Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions in Chicago, Illinois. Alcohol addiction (often referred to as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder) is characterized by a deep craving for alcohol and the inability to quit drinking regardless of any adverse effects. Alcohol use disorder ensues when the chemical changes from long-term alcohol use drive the brain to acclimate to normal functions creating a dependency. Many people who struggle with alcoholism find it challenging to quit without the help of a treatment facility such as Access Behavioral Services. The alcoholism treatment at Access Behavioral Services in Chicago, Chicago, Illinois is designed to give you the support you need to quit drinking once and for all.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a physical and psychological dependency on drugs. Drug addiction occurs when extensive drug use causes changes in a person’s brain chemistry, resulting in uncontrollable cravings to use regardless of the adverse effects. The only way to overcome drug addiction or other addiction disorders is to receive addiction treatment. Access Behavioral Services in Chicago, Illinois offers many treatment options for those struggling with drug addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with drug addiction, get help as soon as possible. Prolonged drug use can result in a destructive addiction cycle where you must continue using drugs to avoid distressing withdrawal symptoms.

Levels of Care Offered at Access Behavioral Services
Addiction Treatment
If you're dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction in Chicago, Illinois, there are many ways to get help. You can choose from programs that let you stay at the treatment center, or you can visit for treatment while living at home. There are also programs that focus on treating both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Plus, you can join support groups that keep on giving help even after you finish a program.
At Access Behavioral Services, we understand that everyone's journey to recovery is unique. That's why we create a plan that's just for you, based on what you need and what you're going through. Our goal is to help you tackle your addiction from all sides, and teach you how to stay healthy and free from addiction for a long time.
We offer lots of different ways to help you at Access Behavioral Services in Chicago, Illinois. This includes talking one-on-one with a therapist or sharing your experiences in a group setting. These talks can play a big part in your recovery.
Aftercare
Aftercare programs help people stay on track after they finish addiction treatment. Think of going to treatment as the first big step towards getting better. Usually, this treatment lasts for a short time, from 30 to 180 days. But recovery takes much longer.
Here at Access Behavioral Services in Chicago, Illinois, our aftercare programs are here to help when the main treatment is done. Once someone completes their treatment, they team up with our staff to make a plan for what comes next. This plan is all about keeping up with their recovery. Also, they can choose to keep getting help from us to stay strong in their journey to stay healthy and free from addiction.
Intensive Outpatient Program
At Access Behavioral Services, we have a program called Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Chicago, Illinois. This program is for people who are dealing with problems from using drugs or who also have mental health issues. If you've been to a full-time drug rehab before, our IOP can give you extra help to stay on track.
When you join our IOP at Access Behavioral Services, you'll come in for treatment a few times a week, for a few hours each time. It's a step up from our regular outpatient program because you'll spend more time with us. This program is great for people who want to get strong treatment but still live at home.
