This place doesn’t even deserve any stars. My nephew was placed here for a week and during this time he was laughed at the psychiatrist (Hu), pumped full of drugs that made him a zombie and treated like an animal in a cage. Upon our visit we found multiple patients literal ...
About Madden Mental Health Center
Addiction can feel like an isolating battle, but John J. Madden Mental Health Center in Maywood, Illinois is here to remind people that recovery is possible. This facility offers a wide range of mental health and substance use disorder support to help individuals regain stability and control over their lives.
As a state psychiatric hospital, John J. Madden Mental Health Center provides essential inpatient services for those in crisis but it also connects people with long-term recovery resources that help support every person’s journey beyond immediate treatment.
Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Services
Many individuals struggling with substance use disorder have also experienced trauma, domestic violence, and homelessness. The Madden Mental Health Center works closely with several domestic violence victim services, rape crisis centers, and youth crisis programs in Illinois to provide a holistic safety net for those who are of additional care outside of mental health and addiction treatment.
As far as the treatment options they do offer for substance use, the Madden Center provides a team of experts that work on performing mental health assessments, therapeutic interventions and psychiatric care to treat the whole person, not just the addiction.
Support for Vulnerable Populations
Madden also is committed to helping at-risk youth. Their Comprehensive Community-Based Youth Services program provides crisis assistance for teens ages 11 to 17.
They specifically work with runaway teens or those who have been kicked out of their homes to make sure they have access to mental health resources and access to safe shelter. This is all a form of early intervention to reduce the risk of future substance use.

I am only leaving one star due to the few staff members that kept me sane in that place and also 0 stars is not an option. I was transferred from another facility unfortunately and it felt like I went from heaven to hell. That entire facility is filthy. My face broke out into hives from the lack of cleanliness. The 7 days I spent there I felt like I was in a co-ed prison. You sleep cold and only with 1 thin sheet that smells and has stains on it. You can hear the mice and raccoons scratching and making noise in the walls. Staff said if we take food to our rooms we may wake up with mice in our bed. The heat was only coming in the day room so in your room you were freezing. No pillows staff said we are not there to comfortable only to get help with our mental health even though lack of a stable and clean environment can actually make your mental stability decrease. The food was honestly disgusting and barely edible. Dirty bathrooms and dirty and molding showers nothing about this place is clean. I feel as though I had the dream treatment team with my psychiatrist and social worker. They really saw the help I needed was more so on the outside than what they could do there for me. Some staff purposely try to antagonize you to make you react. It’s a money grab they are a state funded facility the longer you stay the more money they get. I had to have all my emotional breakdowns in my room in fear of staff saw me be anything but happy and smiling they would keep me longer. The floors were so dirty and they never cleaned the phones off even though multiple people used them. They gave us sink water to take with our medication and the water fountain they had clearly needed a filter change. Cleaning staff would barely clean. Mopping dirty floors that needed to be swept. I watched the cleaning staff mop over the same food that was on the floor multiple times just smearing it into the floor the more they put the dirty mop onto the floor. It took me 3 days of being there to get a actual towel to wash my body with I was showering with a full body towel due to the low amount of linen and shower material they had. We never could throw away our plastic silverware they had us put it in a brown paper bag so they could reuse them which is very unsanitary. Staff would laugh at us when we made complaints of the terrible treatment we dealt with. I thank nurse Lakeisha and mental health tech novella they were honestly what kept me sane in the midst of the mental torture I dealt with while there. Cynthia needs to retire. She clearly hates her job the way she treats patients. It won’t kill you cynthia to show compassion to people who are going through a hard time. Being a CNA and a nursing student I feel is what honestly got me out of there. If you have a family member there make sure you tell them to have something to look forward to when being released. Depending on the treatment team it could possibly help them be released from that hell hole. This place honestly is inhumane and needs to be shut down. A social worker slipped up and called our rooms our “cells”. Need I say more.
This place needs alot more resources to be called a mental health facility, outside of the overworked under staffed social workers the team does little to no effort to accommodate people in their hardship. Techs will borderline harras you based on your record and mental capabilities.
I was a patient at madden twice. What I can tell you is that under 13yf old patients were treated differently. They used the fact that at 13, you left the adolescent unit .

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
Treatments
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.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
