From what you see on television and the movies, you might think there’s only one type of person who struggles with substance use disorders. Nothing could be further from the truth about our clients.
Substance abuse is an equal opportunity destroyer, affecting men and women, young and old, — people of all backgrounds. There is no “typical” client, other than seeking supportive, compassionate, and dignified care for their addictions. Our focus is on their individual needs.
At Northern Illinois Recovery Center, we work with each person on their terms to deliver the best in outpatient treatment services for addictions of all types.
Some might believe our clients are accepting substance abuse as a choice. This is false. Substance abuse is a disease like any other. It involves both psychological and physiological reactions. Substance abuse triggers changes in the brain that make it impossible for individuals to resist the cravings to use.
Some might see people with substance abuse as completely broken down and dysfunctional — as they have lost total control of their lives. This is also untrue. Many who suffer from substance abuse maintain their jobs and continue their obligations as parents. Just because someone shows no signs of addiction does not mean they aren’t struggling. They are worthy of our respect, and at Northern Illinois Recovery Center, we deliver the care they need to improve their lives.
About Our Clients and Who We Serve
When thinking about our client and constructing a treatment plan, factors depend on the severity of the addiction. Our clients are individuals whose treatment is most likely to succeed with minimal interruptions to their daily lives, and where they can maintain the love and support of family. Among the different programs we offer:
- Intensive outpatient program
- Sober living program
- DUI rehab program
- Family therapy program
- Dual-diagnosis treatment
It’s important to understand that different types of substance abuse require different treatment responses and focus.

We are positioned to help our clients restore a life of security and sobriety.
