Situated in Park Ridge, Illinois, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital – Behavioral Health Services provides a wide variety of treatment programs for behavioral problems, including drug and alcohol recovery. A group of experienced and licensed medical specialists staff this discreet clinical environment, offering a range of therapeutic choices including inpatient, intense outpatient, partial hospitalization, and aftercare programs. Adolescents, young adults, adults, and veterans may all access these programs, guaranteeing that the care they get is customized to fit their individual requirements.

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital’s inpatient program is intended for patients with severe symptoms who need 24-hour monitoring and care. Clients reside on campus throughout their visit, and they have unrestricted access to medical personnel and resources. A variety of therapy programs run by experts serve as the mainstay of treatment. These programs include occupational therapy, education, skill-building sessions, medication education, group and individual psychotherapy, and management. Each client’s care plan is customized for them, giving them the opportunity to actively design their own treatment program to suit their unique requirements for recovery.

For patients with milder symptoms who don’t need round-the-clock care, the partial hospitalization program provides an adaptable option. Under this program, clients continue to live at home and carry out their employment obligations while spending several hours a day at the facility receiving care from their committed treatment team. Similar treatment approaches are used in the partial hospitalization program as in the inpatient program, but it provides the necessary flexibility for people who are stable enough to live away from a hospital setting.

As clients return to their regular life, the rigorous outpatient care program gives them even more freedom. It is a structured, daycare therapy option similar to partial hospitalization, but with greater flexibility for those who are prepared to reintegrate into their routines. To facilitate long-term healing and reintegration, this program includes family conferences, social services, and emotional wellness training.

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital places a strong emphasis on offering its graduates ongoing support and care. To guarantee they get the most thorough and specialized treatment possible, clients may also be directed to other facilities for specialized programs. Advocate Lutheran General also collaborates with a number of insurance companies and provides financing and self-pay alternatives. Aetna, BlueCross/BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, TRICARE, United Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, and more are among them. It is advised that clients confirm their coverage, since the benefits provided outside of the network may differ based on their insurance plan.

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital is a part of Advocate Health Care, a nonprofit health organization with a faith-based purpose to offer comprehensive care. This kind of thinking views each patient as a unique person made in the image of God, and it focuses on meeting not only their bodily needs but also their emotional and spiritual ones.
