Outpatient: Outpatient care for addiction is an important part of the recovery process. After the initial detoxification and/or residential treatment, they will work with you to set up an outpatient treatment plan that meets your needs. There are different levels available depending on the patient\'s needs, including the Partial Hospitalization Program and the Intensive Outpatient Program. Intensive Outpatient: Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. At Linden Oaks the IOP consists of daily therapy, including group, individual and family. Inpatient: Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient\'s individual requirements. Linden Oaks\' Residential Stay Program offers additional support for those who may benefit from a structured living environment. A patient\'s stay may vary from a few days to 30 days ago. The program includes group, family and individual counseling. Intervention Services: Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict\'s behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need. Aftercare Support: As part of the ongoing care, they highly recommend support groups. They provide a place for patients to share their story and offer strategies to cope with life’s struggles. They offer access to a wide variety of support groups including: Al-Anon, Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Nar-Anon, Narcotics Anonymous, and Positive Acceptance Towards Healing (PATH) for family members and friends of addicts.

Animal Therapy: Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one\'s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient\'s own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse. Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder. Eating Disorder Treatment: Linden Oaks Behavioral Health is known throughout the Chicago area for its comprehensive eating disorders program. Led by a team of experienced psychiatrists who specialize in eating disorders, they offer the latest techniques to help adults and adolescents age 13 and older who are struggling with anorexia, bulimia and related eating disorders. Their program offers inpatient, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care. Through group therapy, nutrition education and exercise counseling, they help individuals address complex psychological issues while treating physical and dietary needs. Experiential Therapy: Therapists use everyday activities (occupations) to help people recovering from illness, injury and/or addiction regain and improve the skills they need to thrive in their daily lives. Groups focus on career-related topics that include: identifying interests and job skills, building a resume, preparing for job interviews, finding a job and exploring careers, and maintaining employment. Family Therapy: Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation. Group Therapy: Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members. Individual Therapy: The therapists of Linden Oaks Medical Group provide traditional outpatient therapy. Patients usually meet once or twice a week for talk therapy with a counselor. The frequency of your sessions may vary based on your therapist’s and/or psychiatrist’s recommendations. Sessions last 45 minutes to an hour. Life Skills: In addition to intensive outpatient programs (half day) and partial hospitalization programs (full day), they also offer life skills education. Their life skills education is designed to provide vocational training and teach you healthy coping and problem-solving skills. Trauma Therapy: The Linden Oaks crisis response team provides immediate and practical resources for those impacted by trauma and serious loss. By offering assessments, information, referrals, education and support during a time of need, the team delivers frontline mental health care with compassion, dignity and excellence. The Linden Oaks crisis response team includes approximately 20 members. Members represent various disciplines, including counseling, psychology, social work, education, nursing and other related areas.

Mental Health: Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Founded in 1951, the Joint Commision\'s mission is to improve the quality of patient care and demonstrating the quality of patient care. Joint Commission Accreditation: Yes
