Friend Family Health Center

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Chicago, 3 offer a bed.

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

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them about a mile away in Chicago.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Chicago specifically.

Chicago has 876 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
