DeKalb Behavioral Health Foundation

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Sycamore is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of DeKalb offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around DeKalb does.

They prescribe naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in DeKalb.

3 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Sycamore.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of DeKalb has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
