Questions people ask about Ecker Center for Behavioral Health

Which levels of care does Ecker Center for Behavioral Health have?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Elgin has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Ecker Center for Behavioral Health offers?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Elgin is the nearest place that does it, 2.8 miles away.

Can Ecker Center for Behavioral Health treat anxiety alongside addiction?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Elgin that is the part that varies.

Are there other centers close to Ecker Center for Behavioral Health?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Elgin, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is there anything in Elgin besides paid treatment?

Alongside this, Elgin has 18 NA meetings and 31 free AA meetings.

Will a program make me come off my medication?

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Stopping a psychiatric medication abruptly can cause real harm, which is why this is never a decision to make alone. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.

Should I be looking at inpatient or outpatient treatment?

Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.

What if this is not the first time?

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
