All 4 centers in Skokie provide outpatient treatment, allowing individuals to attend sessions while remaining in the community. This level of care is effective for people with stable housing and jobs who can attend regular appointments without needing residential support. All 4 centers serve any gender.
Specific treatment approaches available include:
- Outpatient and regular outpatient counseling (4 centers)
- Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT (3 centers)
- Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT (3 centers)
- Individual counseling (3 centers)
- Group counseling (3 centers)
- Mental health services (3 centers)
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people recognize patterns of thinking and behavior tied to substance use and develop skills to interrupt those cycles. Dialectical behavior therapy combines CBT with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Both are available at 3 of Skokie's 4 centers.
Other levels of care may be available. Residential inpatient treatment, medical detoxification, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone, sober living communities, and telehealth services require confirmation with individual centers or through the directory listings.
