The South Suburban Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse is dedicated to offering people in the greater Chicago Southland and neighboring regions, including Northwest Indiana, reasonably priced, excellent chemical dependence treatment and recovery programs. Through outpatient, inpatient, and juvenile services, their extensive array of programs addresses drug use and mental health concerns for both adults and adolescents.
The residential program provides people with round-the-clock care in a controlled, secure setting. Clients in this program are freed from the interruptions of their daily lives, enabling them to concentrate only on their rehabilitation. Individual and group therapy, rehabilitation coaching, and a range of leisure and wellness activities are beneficial to clients. A crucial component of the program is classes that assist customers in learning new abilities, guaranteeing that participants depart with the means to sustain long-term recuperation.
Compared to standard outpatient services, the intense outpatient program (IOP) offers a greater degree of therapeutic participation for those looking for more freedom while still getting complete treatment. The IOP provides therapy three times a week, in both day and evening sessions, with an estimated three-hour duration each session. For women and individuals entangled in the criminal justice system, specialty courses are offered, providing customized help based on individual requirements.
The typical outpatient program is designed for those who benefit from regular therapy sessions but do not need round-the-clock monitoring. The goal of this program is to assist clients in maintaining their recovery by providing them with ongoing treatment and peer support.
The South Suburban Council also provides peer-led recovery-oriented housing, which closes a critical service gap by offering a drug- and alcohol-free, secure living environment. For those looking for independent living in a caring community after finishing treatment, our recovery home is very helpful. The council suggests their 28-day residential treatment program for those struggling with serious alcoholism and drug use problems.
The South Suburban Council’s goal is to help those who are struggling financially by offering a range of treatment and recovery support programs. The goal of the council is to assist clients achieve long-term sobriety by providing a wide variety of programs, including early intervention, recovery housing, and intensive to basic outpatient therapy.
