3.25.25 - I found Osher during an online search in 2017. I used the services for five years. The Osher department has people who put your care in danger. PATIENT BEWARE. Don't let them "punt" you to patient relations. What a run-around.

Accepted Insurance

Northwestern Medicine Osher Center for Integrative Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.

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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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

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 in Illinois typically involves keeping a diary to track actions and emotions. Your therapist will use this diary to determine what to focus on during each session. In addition to individual sessions, you'll also attend group meetings where you are trained in coping skills.

Men and women in Illinois learn to recognize their strengths and capabilities within a group therapy setting. This helps to boost their self image and self confidence as they work toward overcoming addiction and building a healthier life. Group therapy is a perfect environment for you to see successful recovery behaviors and become inspired to manage your addiction.

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 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.

During couples therapy in Illinois, you may work on a variety of relationship challenges. Couples therapy can address topics such as finances, children, health, addiction, intimacy, external stressors, and family relationships. You'll develop tools to address these types of challenges in healthy ways.

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.

Life skills training in Illinois gives you the tools you need to meet daily demands. These fall into three main categories: personal skills, interpersonal skills, and cognitive skills. While in rehab, you'll work on each of these areas as part of your recovery treatment.

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.

Both inpatient and outpatient substance use disorder treatment programs may offer experiential therapy in Illinois. This method is often provided in addition to talk therapy. It offers opportunities for creative expression and reflection on emotions through activities such as adventure courses, animal care, music, or culinary arts.

This eight-session group program is led by a leading tobacco treatment specialist. The program includes a comprehensive support group combined with individualized interventions. You will receive a step-by-step plan on how to quit, information on nicotine replacement and more. Behavioral approaches including relaxation, diet and physical activity techniques will help you stay smoke-free. Follow-up phone calls are made to all clients at regular intervals by the program facilitator.

I came in for 30min massage and it was exactly what my body needed. This is the first massage that felt healing for lingering right-shoulder/neck tension. Thank you, Marie!

I waited a year for an appointment with Dr. Jonas but it was well worth the wait as she was exactly the kind of doctor that I was looking for as far as being integrative between natural and traditional medicine. Aside from that, the office is extremely nice, clean, with relaxing lighting and furniture. I felt very comfortable. Awesome place

I arrived for my appointment and the administrative staff at the front desk told me that I needed to reschedule because I was scheduled for the wrong appointment and the acupuncturist couldn’t see me. I asked why I wasn’t contacted prior to coming in for my appointment and the staff took zero accountability, provided no recourse, and one of them even sarcastically laughed when I asked. I’ve never been treated so poorly by a doctor’s office administrative staff. The entire experience has made me question whether I ever want to go back. The complete lack of common human decency is unacceptable.

I see dr. Collins here. Recently my physical health has been going downhill. And I suddenly had unexplained weight loss happen(I am a 5’8 female, and dropped down to 114 pounds too fast in under a few months). Last year I was always able to maintain a healthy normal weight, and even gain no matter how little or much I ate. She is caring, and going above and beyond to try to figure out what is going on with me. Sending me to do many tests to see what could be causing this problem. So once she sees what is going on that could be causing this to happen, we can start the treatment I need so that I can be back to good health, and a healthy weight in no time. Staff are also all super nice, caring, and supportive. I also have b-12 deficiency, low ferritin, and tiny bit low vitamin D. Tried coming in for a b-12 injection, but it made me pass out right after. But everyone went above and beyond in the clinic to make sure that I was ok, and getting taken care of. Ended up as a result to that scary event, needing to switch over to trying supplements instead. Dr. Collins is a great doctor! Hope me and her can figure out soon what is going on, and get me back to being healthy, normal weight, and happy again in no time. :’)

Don't waste your time on this place. Most of Northwestern has great care but this dept is the exception. You will wait for months and months to see anyone and it's very disjointed and disorganized. I believe it's mainly the admin staff as they don't call back or do the work they are supposed to do and they could seriously care less. Really disappointed with the care here and it's not typical of Northwestern overall.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jonas for my annual appointments for three years now. In my opinion, she prescribes a great balance between lifestyle changes/adjustments and pharmaceutical interventions as needed. I understand that Integrative medicine isn’t for everyone, but I really feel like we are problem solving together during appointments. She spends at least 30-40 minutes with me at each visit (something I’ve never had with any other PCP) and I feel like she really listens to me. She makes follow-up appointments easy with telehealth options. I do agree that wait times on the phone can be long and frustrating. Unfortunately, that is the case with a majority of large medical centers right now (understaffed and overwhelmed), so I still give her and all the staff I have encountered 5 stars! Mychart responses, however, are super quick! I’ve referred Dr. Jonas to a friend and her fiancé, they love her too!

Absolutely atrocious level of care. I sent my referral as requested as no one called me back. I had beg for an appointment and they told me that the next available appointment is “next year.” This nonsense place needs to hire more staff it seems.

I take exercise classes there and find them well-run. Specifically, I like "Strength and Balance," appropriate for average-ability people who are getting older--60's, 70's and up. Taught by Regina, the class has stretching, balancing, mild aerobics, weight lifting (your choice of dumbbells weighing 1-8 pounds). You never feel stupid, no matter what you wear or how unfit you are--Regina keeps it fun. Good class for people who hate to exercise.
