SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SERVICES

Our Approach

Our goal is to empower individuals in Will County who are affected by substance use disorders to achieve lasting recovery and reach their full potential. Our program allows participants to continue living at home, working, attending school, and caring for themselves and their families while receiving comprehensive, evidence-based treatment services.

Eligibility

Adults (18 years and older) who are struggling with alcohol or other substance use disorders may be eligible for services. Treatment is available for individuals with Medicaid or Managed Care Organization (MCO) coverage, private insurance, or no insurance.

Individuals who do not reside in Will County may also be eligible if they are currently under the supervision of the Will County 12th Judicial Circuit Court.

Costs

Treatment is typically covered by Medicaid or Managed Care Organization (MCO) plans, although a small copayment may apply. For uninsured Will County residents, a sliding fee scale based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines is available.

Substance Use Assessment

Our program begins with a comprehensive Substance Use Assessment to identify each individual’s unique needs and determine the most appropriate level of care.

Our Treatment Programs

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers structured, compassionate support for individuals seeking a higher level of care while continuing to work, attend school, or care for their families. Through up to nine hours of weekly group and individual counseling, clients gain the skills, support, and tools needed to build a strong foundation for lasting recovery — all while maintaining their daily responsibilities.

Outpatient Program (OP)
Our Outpatient Program (OP) offers a less intensive level of care, while still maintaining a supportive environment. Clients receive weekly group and individual counseling personalized to their unique needs and recovery goals. The program includes up to six hours of group and individual counseling per week.

Peer Recovery Support Specialists
Our Peer Recovery Support Specialists provide support to clients throughout their recovery journey. Peer Recovery Support Specialists have personal experience with Substance Use and Mental Health, and they offer encouragement, guidance, and practical support to help individuals achieve and maintain long-term recovery. 

Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR)
The Will County Community Health Center offers Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR), an evidence-based treatment for Substance Use Disorders. MAR combines FDA-approved medications, including Buprenorphine (Suboxone) or Naltrexone (Vivitrol), alongside counseling services provided by the Will County Health Department to support long-term recovery. By reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, MAR helps individuals focus on healing, recovery, and achieving their treatment goals.
