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.

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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Rosecrance has a long-term residential recovery program for teens through its recovery homes. The program is designed to develop independent living skills and provide ongoing support, safety and counseling in a drug-free environment for adolescents who have completed a primary treatment program. Through this gender-specific program, teens learn to overcome barriers that hinder them from lasting recovery. Services focus on developing the skills and personal characteristics needed to live independently in the community and/or effectively reintegrate with families or caregivers.

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in Illinois focuses on integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These specialized rehab programs include detox, medication-assisted treatment, residential drug and alcohol rehab, and outpatient programs. Treatment incorporates a combination of trauma-informed and evidence-based therapies — like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing— support groups, and skills training to holistically address addiction and co-occurring disorders at the same time, enhancing your mental, physical, and emotional health.

Drug rehabs often provide treatment for people seeking help for both mental health and substance abuse. The programs are usually offered on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Each personalized treatment plan includes a number of different mental health therapies and services, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapies (equine and animal therapy, outdoor therapy groups, and individual / group counseling sessions designed to simultaneously address both mental health and substance abuse. Standard treatment modalities include relapse prevention education and emotional coping skills training.

Programs

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

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.

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 (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

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.

Motivational interviewing in Illinois is person centered and collaborative. This method allows the therapist to come alongside the client to address the issue of ambivalence toward change. By listening and reflecting, the therapist helps the client see the need for change and commit to making changes.

This place was good for the fact that they allowed me to learn great tools for recovery, this is only thanks to the staff that have absolutely no power for change, however Megan Burnett allows health code violations in the house, she also does not follow proper protocol, and is to lazy to do her job, she is the current house manager and has been for a few years, any reviews you see usually have to do with how she handles things, I would recommend another recovery home to your kid, the only reason my stay here was decent was because me and one other kid had to turn the house around and lead since staff couldn’t get there shit together whatsoever, if you don’t believe me you will see it for yourself when you send your kid there, unless there is a good core leader in that house, kids will start sneaking anything they can into the house, and showing no growth whatsoever. Staff will not help, Burnett will sit back and watch it burn.

I do not recommend Marlowe House for your loved one recovering from substance abuse. For other's who have been negatively impacted by their stay or a loved ones stay at Marlowe House please know that while leaving a review is important for those who may be considering Marlowe House as an option, to illicit change within the facility you need to file a complaint with Joint Commission. You can also file complaints against licensed individuals (i.e. nursing staff, psychologists, etc.) with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. You can google "file a compliant with Joint Commission" and "File a Complaint with IDFPR" and a link will pop up. Their M.O. seems to be playing favorites amongst residents and kicking patient's out at a moments notice, putting unnecessary burden on both the individual in recovery and their family. Know the following - if they are involuntary discharging you or your loved one, barring a safety issue, it requires a 30 day written notice. Residents can appeal within 10 days to the Department of Public Health if they do not agree with the decision. They can only complete an immediate discharge in the event of a safety issue and even then, they cannot drop you or your loved one off at a homeless shelter without proper discharge and safety plan, (as was threatened to my family when there was a winter weather advisory, blizzard like conditions, and a feels like -2 degrees, with none of my child's family able to make it there that day due to the road conditions and how far away we live); this would be considered patient abandonment; negligent/safety issue at best, illegal at worst. While 9 hours away I had to book a hotel room in the area, call ahead, and beg a hotel to let my child under 21 check in without a parent; the hotel staff had more compassion for my child than the staff at Marlowe did. My child was discharged without a discharge summary or safety plan, it was emailed to me four days later, but never given to my child themself. At discharge my child stated they did not want to take their medication with them for fear that they would relapse, no one explained to them that you cannot quit these types of medications cold turkey. After being dropped off my child was awake for approximately 40 hours and nearly in a manic state due to not having their medication. Once I realized what had happened and explained to my child that you can't quit those medications without titrating off, they had to contact Megan Burnett multiple times before their medication was then brought to them (incompetent/negligent care). The staff at Marlowe do not have a handle on what is taking place in the house and with the minors/individuals in their care (Patient Safety Issue). There is absolutely no structure and aside from taking the patients to NA and AA meetings, no part of their handbook is followed, and I do mean no part. If they actually enforced their handbook, they would probably have a good and successful program, but they do not.

They kicked my son out last minute after telling him they would give him an ample amount of time to find somewhere else to go. Mind you he is 2.5 hours from anyone he knows. They will drive people to keep using drugs/alcohol with this behavior. Not only did they not really help him stay sober but they just push NA meeting haphazardly and the staff is super unfriendly. Everytime I came to visit I had to watch them be rude as hell to my son and he couldn't really talk back or stand up for himself. Talk about being on a power trip. The people that work here should require actual schooling to because people's lives are litterally in their hands. I am disappointed and most of all severely pissed off. Totally unprofessional and totally inhuman. Disgusting behavior! PS....I'm waiting for the fiasco of what it is like trying to get him possessions back. I am almost positive it will be a problem. If I could give this place negative stars I really would!
