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.
Latest Reviews
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We are now preparing to involve legal counsel and contact media outlets regarding the ongoing situation at Madden Mental Health Facility. My father is being held there against his will, in conditions that are frankly worse than a prison.
Despite numerous phone calls and messages over the past week, both my father's explicit requests and our family's formal request to have him transferred have been ignored. Madden staff are refusing to release him, even though we have already arranged for a transfer to another facility that is ready and waiting to accept him.
Let me be clear: it is not Madden’s legal right to detain him once he has requested to leave and another facility is available. This is not only unethical—it may very well be unlawful.
We have been informed that patient transfers supposedly cannot happen over the weekend. If he is not released by the end of today, we will be pursuing legal action for patient abuse and unlawful detainment in a state-run facility.
Dr. Lince (Social Worker) and Dr. Sayied (Physician) are the individuals directly responsible for denying our father’s request to leave, despite his repeated confirmation that he wishes to transfer and has authorized us to make those arrangements on his behalf.
We are speaking out because this is not just about our family—this is about accountability. No one should have to fight this hard to protect their loved one’s basic rights.

UPDATE 6/10/25 - We finally moved my father out of this horrible place last week and he is already progressing and feeling better at the new facility. Madden was only making his already difficult mental health situation much worse and was never going to get the treatment he needed to get better. This place should be shut down or remove the current staff, clean it up, and bring in actual professionals that can truly care for the patients, not just state employees that are only there to do the absolute bare minimum with ZERO empathy towards the patients. It's comparable to prison standards. I wouldn't want my worst enemies to be stuck in a place like this for even a few days.
If your loved one is here, please call the main line to speak with their social worker daily for case updates. That was the only way I was able to get information about my personal case.
While institutionalized at Madden, I experienced a significant amount of gaslighting, and mental trauma. Many of the staff are just there to collect a paycheck. Some of the staff are aware that the patients have no autonomy. Knowingly or unknowingly, they use that to their advantage.
This place consistently violated your rights. I went voluntarily, when I spoke to my doctor they said I would be discharged Thursday ( day 4 instead of 5) when it came too they said they had no recollection of saying that. I left with more trauma than I had gone in with. I seen patients get treated horribly, and saw patients not getting treated at all that needed it. Absolutely a horrible place.

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
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.
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 Program
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 Adult Program
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.
