Getting Help

From 2006 to 2015, drugs and alcohol caused 1,142,297 deaths in Illinois. With the necessary help, many of those deaths could have been prevented. This guide will show you the specific process for getting help in the state of Illinois.

What to Consider When Choosing a Rehab Center

There are many different types of rehab programs and treatment options to consider. Some of the questions you should ask are:

The severity of your addiction and your specific personal and financial situation will be the main factor that determines the best rehab option for you.

For more information on how to make all of these decisions, read our guide to Choosing the Right Rehab.

The Highest Rated, Low-Cost Rehabs in Illinois

If the cost of rehab is a barrier for you (as it is for many) and you don’t have insurance, there are still ways for you to get help. Out of the 584 rehab facilities recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) in Illinois, 93 offer some sort of payment assistance to most adults. Out of those 93 rehabs, Behavioral Services Center – Elmhurst Campus near the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, received the highest overall scores.

Metrics Used to Evaluate Each Rehab

For more information about the five core metrics, head to the full breakdown of our filtering process and ranking methodology

1. Behavioral Services Center - Elmhurst Campus

The Elmhurst Campus of Behavioral Services Center offers group classes, outpatient, and intensive outpatient treatment services and is located near the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. The rehab received an overall score of 9.2, and it’s highest score was on the metric that measured rehab services provided. It provides 13 different rehab services, which was the highest total of all the rehabs we researched.

The rehab’s weakest performance came on “Cost” – it was given a score of 7.7, which is still considerably above average. The main factor that kept the facility from scoring higher was the fact that it doesn’t offer any other type of payment assistance besides sliding scale fees.

  • Rehabilitation Services Provided: 10
  • Treatment Approaches: 10
  • Cost: 7.7
  • Special Programs for Unique Demographics: 8.3
  • Ancillary Services: 9.5

2. Behavioral Services Center - Skokie Campus

While the Skokie Campus of Behavioral Health Services is run by the same company that runs the Elmhurst Campus, the Skokie Campus received slightly lower scores in “Cost” and “Special Programs for Unique Demographics.” The Skokie Campus offers two less special programs for unique demographics than Elmhurst does. However, it does provide two more ancillary services than the Elmhurst Campus, giving it a perfect score in that category, while Elmhurst received a 9.5.

Like the Elmhurst Campus, the Skokie Campus of Behavioral Health Services exclusively provides several types of outpatient treatments.

  • Rehabilitation Services Provided: 10
  • Treatment Approaches: 10
  • Cost: 6.6
  • Special Programs for Unique Demographics: 8.3
  • Ancillary Services: 10

3. Behavioral Services Center - Chicago Loop Campus

Like the Skokie and Elmhurst Campuses, the Chicago Loop Campus is run by Behavioral Services Center and provides outpatient, intensive outpatient, and individual therapy sessions to the greater Chicago area.

The special programs for unique demographics that Behavioral Services Center – North Clark Street Campus offers is the program’s biggest drawback, followed closely by its performance on the “Cost” core metric. On the other hand, the facility was given perfect scores on “Rehabilitation Services Provided” and “Treatment Approaches.”

  • Rehabilitation Services Provided: 10
  • Treatment Approaches: 10
  • Cost: 6.6
  • Special Programs for Unique Demographics: 6.4
  • Ancillary Services: 9.5

    What to Expect in Rehab

    Although the specifics of every rehab are different, the core process of rehabilitation remains the same.

    Rehab for At-Risk Groups

    Substance Abuse Treatment for Veterans

    1 in 15 veterans had a substance use disorder in 2015

    1 in 15

    Veterans had a substance use disorder in 2015

    Veterans face unique challenges that can put them at higher risk for substance abuse than the general population. Factors leading to increased risk include things like PTSD and homelessness.

    Veterans face unique challenges that can put them at higher risk for substance abuse than the general population. Factors leading to increased risk include things like PTSD and homelessness.

    Veterans have access to additional resources for treatment, and VA benefits often cover the cost. To get help with substance abuse from the VA health care system follow these steps:

    • Enroll: If you aren’t enrolled already, you can check the Illinois benefits page to begin the process of enrolling in the Veterans Alcohol and Drug Dependence Rehabilitation Program. Alternatively, you can check your eligibility by using the Health Benefits Explorer, and then complete the application.
    • Discover: Find out whether your local VA center provides substance use disorder (SUD) treatment by calling or visiting the center. If you don’t know where the closest VA is, call the VA hotline to find out: 1-800-827-1000.
    • Find Treatment: If your local VA does provide SUD treatment, then discover what your options are and enroll in treatment. If your local VA doesn’t provide SUD treatment, then use the SUD program locator to find one that does.

    You can also use the appropriate filter in our database above to find veteran-specific treatment options.

    For more information, read our guide on Substance Abuse Rehab for Veterans.

    Substance Abuse Treatment for Teens

    More than 1 out of 7 youths abused substances in 2013

    Over 15%

    Binge Drinking

    8.1%

    Illicit Drug Usage

    In 2013, over 15% of Illinois youth participated in binge drinking. 8.1% used illicit drugs in that same year. To help overcome the obstacles that youth can face in overcoming substance addiction, some treatment facilities offer teen-specific programs. Our database has a filter that allows you to find the closest rehabs that provide that treatment option.

    Additional Resources for Parents and Teachers

    Use the following resources to get a better understanding of three of the biggest dangers to youth: prescription drug abuse, underage drinking, and marijuana use. The Illinois Department of Human Services offers general addiction facts for the state.

    Co-Occurring Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment

    In many cases, substance abuse and mental issues exist together. The proper term for it is “co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.” The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimates 39% of people with a substance abuse disorder have a co-occurring mental disorder, and 18% of people with an existing mental illness also have a substance abuse disorder.

    Mental Health Resources & Treatment

    If you or someone you love is suffering from mental health issues such as depression, PTSD, eating disorders, or severe anxiety there are many resources and ways to get help.

    Below are a few quick ways to get immediate help, as advised from MentalHealth.gov:

    • Emergency Services: If your life (or someone else’s life) is in danger, always start by dialing 911 to get immediate access to emergency services.
    • Suicide Prevention: The number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is: 800-273-8255. You can also initiate a private live online chat.
    • Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 800-273-8255 to talk to someone immediately. You can also access help with a private online chat, or you can text 838255.

    For those who need mental health help but don’t have an immediate need, the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) has a page dedicated to helping the general public with mental health concerns.

    Those who have mental health issues and a substance abuse problem may benefit from dual-diagnosis rehabs. Use the appropriate filter in our tool above to find rehab centers with programs designed to meet the unique challenge posed by co-occurring disorders.

    Finding Aftercare in Illinois

    Aftercare is both one of the most crucial steps of rehabilitation and one of the most overlooked. Those who skip aftercare and immediately adjust to “normal life” are at a much higher risk of relapsing than those who transition to an aftercare program. There are several types of aftercare including follow-up visits for continued therapy, group therapy, and sober living homes.

    12-Step Addiction Meetings in Illinois

    Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) designed the 12-step process for those recovering from an alcohol addiction, and today there are many other 12-step programs for other addictions and issues – Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is one only one example.

    Basics of a 12 step meeting

    Use our 12-step meeting tool to find an AA or NA location near you

    The tool below lists the contact information for local organizations that will connect you to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings near you. Since the time and location of many meetings change periodically, any list of actual meetings online is likely outdated. Contacting the local organizations that coordinate the meetings will ensure that the information you receive is accurate and current.

    Name City Program Telephone Spanish Hotline

    Sober Living Homes

    Sober living homes (also referred to as recovery residences) are group homes that help recovering addicts transition from treatment facilities to living on their own, while maintaining sobriety. They are especially helpful for those who don’t have a supportive and positive environment to live in after rehab.

    Residents can stay for a couple months of for years, as long as they follow the rules and don’t relapse (most homes have a zero tolerance policy for using substances). Other rules usually include completing chores, attending mutual support groups regularly, and paying an equal share of the cost of renting the home.

    Some halfway houses are listed in our database, and you can find them by using the appropriate filter in our tool above. Otherwise, head to our guide on sober living homes to learn more about sober living homes, and to find a certified recovery residence near you.

    10.41%

    of Illinois deaths are caused by drugs and alcohol

    13%

    of US deaths are caused by drugs and alcohol

    According to the table below, the number of deaths caused, or partially caused by drugs and alcohol from 2006 to 2015 is 10.41%, well below the national average of 13.36%. In fact, Illinois ranked lower than the national averages in all three categories of drug and alcohol-induced deaths.

    Amphetamines are treated at half the rate in Illinois than the rest of the United States

    4.4%

    of Illinois rehab admissions are for meth

    9%

    of US rehab admissions are for meth

    Admissions to state-funded rehabs in Illinois due to amphetamine abuse is less than half as common (4.4%) than the rest of the country (8.9%). Prescription painkillers and other opiates were also responsible for significantly lower admissions in Illinois compared to the rest of the nation. However, heroin, marijuana, and cocaine were all connected to rehab admissions at noticeably higher percentages than the rest of the country.

    Key Indicators of Substance Abuse Issues

    When trying to understand the substance abuse problem in a specific area, researchers and policymakers examine “key indicators.” Combined with usage stats, key indicators can provide a deep level of insight into which substances and demographics present the biggest problem and are at the highest risk. Key indicators with recent, credible statistics available are examined below.

    12.23% of Illinoisans struggle with mental health issues

    Based on data from The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 18% of those with some form of mental health illness also have a substance use disorder, and 41% of those with a substance use disorder also have a mental health disorder. The combination of the two issues is called a “dual diagnosis.” Because of the link between the problems, statistics on mental health problems helps us to better understand substance abuse in Illinois.

    12%

    of Illinoisans have mental health problems

    13.5%

    of Americans have mental health problems

    Mental illnesses afflict 12.23% of people in Illinois, which is slightly lower than the national average of 13.55%. Additionally, 2.94% of Illinoisans had seriously considered suicide compared to the higher national average of 3.99% of people 18 and older.

    Illinois Annual Averages for Mental Health Issues in 2014 and 2015
    Ages: 12-17 Percentage of Population Ages: 18+ Percentage of Population
    Major Depressive Episode 115,000 0.90% 581,000 4.50%
    Serious Mental Illness No Data No Data 343,000 2.67%
    Any Mental Illness No Data No Data 1,570,000 12.23%
    Had Serious Thoughts of Suicide No Data No Data 378,000 2.94%

    A direct indicator of severe mental health problems, suicide is an act that’s often linked with substance abuse – those who have a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are six times more likely to attempt suicide during their lifetime than those without an SUD. Compared to the other states, Illinois ranked 45th for the number of suicides, averaging 9.6 suicides per 100,000 people.

    Suicides in Illinois Between 2006 and 2015

    Ages: 18+ 11,901 9th 12.2 45th 16
    Total 12,307 8th 9.6 45th 12.5

    DUI deaths in Illinois are slightly below the national average

    All too often, individuals choose to get behind the wheel of a car after using alcohol or drugs.  Statistics involving arrests and crashes due to drugs and alcohol give direct insight into the substance abuse problem in the state.

    2.5

    deaths per 100,000 people involving intoxicated Illinois drivers ages 21-34

    3.3

    deaths per 100,000 people involving intoxicated US drivers ages 21-34

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2.2% of Illinois drivers report driving after drinking too much, which is slightly higher than the national average of 1.9%. However, as the table below shows, the average of DUI-related deaths in Illinois is 2.5 per 100,000 — slightly below the 3.3 per 100,000 national average.

    Deaths Involving Drivers Under the Influence of Alcohol in 2012
    Ages: 0-20 Ages: 21-34 Ages: 35+ All Ages

    United States Rate of Deaths (per 100,000) 1.3 6.7 3.1 3.3

    The table below shows statistics on fatal crashes related to driving under the influence of alcohol in Illinois. According to data, 2012 had the most alcohol-related crash fatalities with 393, which was 41% of all crash fatalities that year.

    Opioid painkillers in Illinois are prescribed at a relatively low rate

    Prescription drug abuse (particularly opioid painkillers and Benzodiazepines) is an increasing problem in the United States. While it is difficult to estimate how many people use these drugs as prescribed and how many abuse them, the CDC and IMS have researched the variation in painkiller prescriptions between states. The more prescriptions are written, the greater the potential for dependence and abuse.

    67.9

    opioid pain reliever prescriptions written per 100 people in Illinois

    87.3

    opioid pain reliever prescriptions written per 100 people in the US

    Illinois ranks near the bottom for the number of prescriptions written in 2012 in every category except for Benzodiazepines. Out of 51 states (and Washington D.C.), Illinois ranked 50th for the number of long-acting/extended release and high-dose opioid pain relievers prescribed. It ranked 43rd in general opioid painkillers prescribed and 34th in benzodiazepines.

    Painkiller Prescriptions in Illinois per 100 People in 2012
    Illinois National Average State Rank
    Opioid Pain Relievers 67.9 87.3 43
    Long-Acting/Extended-Release Opioid Pain Relievers 5.5 12.0 50
    High-Dose Opioid Pain Relievers 2 4.5 50
    Benzodiazepines 34.2 39.2 34

    Illinois has a significantly lower number of homeless people than the rest of the country

    A high homelessness rate in an area can often be an indication of potential substance abuse issues. SAMHSA shows that homelessness can either cause or be caused by a substance abuse problem.

    Overall, Illinois has a considerably lower number of homeless people compared to the rest of the United States, and that number has dropped from 2015 to 2016. In 2016, Illinois had an average of 9 homeless people per 10,000, compared to the national average of 17.

    Substance Abuse Among At-Risk Groups

    “At-Risk Groups” are segments of the population who are especially vulnerable to developing a substance abuse problem, or those who have a higher likelihood of negative outcomes. While there are several different demographics that fit into this category (such as pregnant women and veterans), the only recent statistics in the state of Illinois have to do with youth. Youth are considered “at-risk” because the effect of substance-abuse on their still-developing brain is more extreme than with older addicts.

    Compared to the national average, youths in Illinois binge alcohol at a higher rate, but use illicit drugs at a lower rate

    8%

    of Illinois youth used illicit drugs in 2013

    9%

    of US youth used illict drugs in 2013

    12 to 17 year-olds in Illinois abused drugs at a rate of 8.1% in 2013, which was lower than the national average of 9.2%. However, year after year the binge alcohol rate in Illinois has been higher than the national average.
