About Alliance Behavioral Services
Alliance Behavioral Services is located in Chicago, Illinois and offers standard outpatient treatment as well as intensive outpatient treatment programs for your recovery. Their main specialty is services for people who have been charged with a DUI.
This for-profit private organization offers brief intervention and substance use counseling along with substance use education, HIV/AIDS education and support, and general health education services.
Testing and Pre-Treatment Services
While seeking services at Alliance, you also have several options for testing and pre-treatment services at your disposal. These include a comprehensive substance use assessment, screening for mental health disorders, screening for substance use, breathalyzer or blood alcohol testing, and drug or alcohol urine screening as well as TB screening.
Their services are provided to a wide variety of clients seeking care including adults ages 26 to 64 and young adults ages 18 to 25 of all genders. They also have specially designed programs for DUI/DWI clients. Following your care, Alliance wants to help you continue on the right path to recovery and therefore offers both discharge planning and continuing aftercare.
Payment Options are Limited
In terms of paying for your services, I was somewhat disappointed to learn that Alliance only accepts self payment options, which can make it difficult to pay for services if you are experiencing financial hardship of any kind. But this is typically the case for DUI classes.
MAT Clients are Accepted from Outside Prescribers
Additional items to note regarding Alliance Behavioral Services is that they accept clients using medication assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder, but medications must be prescribed elsewhere. In other words, they don’t prescribe these medications but they’ll offer therapy if you receive your medications elsewhere.
If English isn’t your native language, they also offer services in Spanish and Portuguese. Lastly, it is reassuring to know that they are licensed by the State Substance Abuse Agency and State Department of Health.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Illinois is designed to help people recover from addiction to a number of substances. The length of each program and its intensity tend to vary, and the plan of care is based on your individual needs.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.
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 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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
