In Illinois, nearly 80% of drug overdose deaths involved opioids in 2018. With so many people struggling with addiction, the need for addiction therapy services has never been so obvious. Roughly 3.21% of adults in Illinois live with serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression. In fact, 44.6% of adults with mental illness in Illinois receive any form of treatment from either the public system or private providers.
Why Are Addiction Therapy Services Integral Toward Recovery?
Addiction therapy services such as counseling can enable discoveries about yourself and ways to integrate healthy coping skills. Many recovering individuals struggle to maintain motivation after an initial detox. The physical and mental strain of the withdrawal symptoms and malnourishment can affect a person’s recovery.

You participate in many kinds of addiction therapy services during rehab, such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Individual Therapy
Group Therapy
Family Therapy
Family therapy allows you and your loved ones to begin healing the damage in your relationships. Addiction is often recognized as a family disease. In fact, your home environment and genetics play a role in the risk factors of addiction. Families affected by substance abuse can be torn between the intense feelings of fear and disappointment.
Finding the opportunity to share intimate experiences with your loved ones can help bridge the disconnect from addiction. The roles family members play in addiction can vary, however, codependency is an element to look out for.

Peer Support
Relapse Prevention
Relapse prevention helps you learn about methods for avoiding slips and relapses. After an evaluation, you and your counselor will craft a set of guidelines for your practice when triggers appear. Relapse is a frustrating component of addiction recovery, with 40-60% of recovering individuals experiencing a lapse at least once.
A relapse prevention plan could outline specific scenarios and phrases to use in the event of substance use. A relapse prevention plan can be modified and reevaluated to meet your demands.

Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to intense and may include:
- Nausea
- Tremors
- Fever
- Muscle Aches
- Intense cravings
- Insomnia
- Depression
While these symptoms will make you deeply uncomfortable, they aren’t dangerous on their own. The real challenge with these withdrawal symptoms is that they make people relapse during unmonitored, at-home attempts at detox. People then start using again just to put a stop to the withdrawal symptoms.
A detox program can use medications that help limit the intensity of your withdrawal symptoms. That helps prevent a relapse where a person just wants to escape those symptoms.
For alcohol and benzodiazepines, however, attempting unmonitored, at-home detox is dangerous. Alcohol withdrawal can cause delirium tremens, which can lead to seizures or death. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can also lead to fatal grand mal seizures. The substance abuse treatment programs Northern Illinois Recovery Center employs use prescription medications to prevent these fatal outcomes.

Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone provide an alternative that has shown excellent results. In essence, these medications let someone with opioid dependence feel normal without giving them the euphoria of an opioid high. In most cases, medication-assisted treatment begins during detox and doctors monitor the patient’s doses during and after rehab.
