Our Methodology
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.
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medically Assisted Detox 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.
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.
Trauma therapy provides you with a safe and supportive environment so you can address a traumatic experience. Your therapist helps guide you to understand your emotional, mental, and physical responses while developing healthier coping skills. This helps to improve your emotional resilience and ability to function in the community.
The use of nicotine replacement therapy in Illinois supplies your body with a small, controlled dose of nicotine without exposing it to the other harmful chemicals in cigarettes. This dose reduces withdrawal and satisfies cravings, so you can wean yourself off nicotine use.

My counselor here is the best! The staff is so good to everyone and they always treat us with kindness. I love this place, they are helping me so much.
The staff is extremely nice and the Dr.Lorin Brody is very kind, patient and really works with you.ive had horrible anxiety and she managed to get it under control.
Good morning, My name is Nicole. I’m a patient at Mathers Clinic for quite sometime. What I look for in a clinic is the nursing knowledge, and the therapy. We do have counseling. I feel this clinic is a step above most. We have an awesome nursing staff and doctors. We have an exceptional doctor and her name is Lauren. We also have a great psychologist and her name is Kirsten. She’s just wonderful.. We do have meetings on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays and I believe Saturday mornings to attend a meeting and it’s early in the morning so people can get there before work. It starts at 5 AM. If you have to be on Methadone, this is where you should go. I needed the Mmt because nothing else helped me. I am proud of me and my clinic.
Mathers clinic has done wonderful for me. They have me, really dialed, in i'm very well adjusted and doctor jones,is really good at what she does.She has been GREAT 👍.
It was my first visit. I feel as if there will be good guidance. Kristin H. was very kind and seemed knowledgeable.
The staff are super nice , courteous and professional. This place saved my life. This is one of the VERY few places that understands me he struggle because many people that work there went thru the same thing. That is so transformative to have someone that went thru what you are going thru and because of that they know how best to help. One other uniquely wonderful part of this program is that they don’t try to rush you through treatment I tried a lot of doctors that would help get me to a stable point and then say ok let’s start taking away those supporting elements of your treatment now like cutting down your scripts when your not ready and on the other side of the equation they don’t over medicate either. One of my favorite doctors there told me it’s your journey tell me how I can get you there.
Very friendly orientated. Staff , all of staff, is professional. Drs. Listen, and talk with you. They all give a warmth and comfort towards their patients. They are not there to judge you. They have the understanding of each individuals needs.
They are very friendly and help me on what best for me.
Everyone was Great!!
My journey to wellness has culminated into so much success from the support and service I receive from my psychiatrist Stephanie Onyeforo that words cannot express! I am sober and finally earned my my bachelor's of science. RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE!!!
