Your Questions Answered

Can I call even if my loved one isn’t ready for treatment?

Yes - 40% of our calls come from families in exactly this situation. We can help you explore your options, understand what treatment looks like, and figure out how to support them wherever they are in their journey. You don't need to have all the answers before you call.

What happens when I call the Family Support Line?

You'll speak with someone who understands what you're going through. We'll listen to your situation, answer your questions, and help you understand what options are available. If your loved one is ready, we can often see them the same day. If they're not, we'll help you figure out next steps together.

Will you talk to my loved one directly?

If they're open to it, yes. Sometimes hearing from someone outside the family helps. We can answer their questions about what treatment involves, address fears about withdrawal, and explain how the process works, with no pressure.

How much does treatment cost for my loved one?

Most patients pay little to nothing out of pocket. We're in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and many other major plans. We can verify their benefits over the phone before the first visit, no surprises.

What if they’ve tried treatment before and it didn’t work?

That's common, and it doesn't mean treatment can't work. Many of our patients came to us after other programs failed them. We take a different approach: no one is removed from the program for continued use, and your loved one sets their own recovery goals. What didn't work before doesn't have to define what happens next.
