Outpatient Medication Assistance for Opiate Dependence
Outpatient Methadone
The Human Service Center Outpatient Methadone Program was the first licensed methadone program in the state of Illinois and has been in operation since 1969. The program currently serves over 100 individuals dependent on opiates and dispenses methadone 365 days per year. Methadone is also dispensed through the outpatient program to clients in our residential facilities. Clients enrolled in the methadone program participate in both group and individual sessions which focus on skill building and developing social and family support as well as general case management services. Methadone program clients are also linked with a recovery coach who assists clients with securing employment, supportive housing and various community resources.
| Outpatient Suboxone | |
| The Freedom Suboxone Program is an outpatient medication assisted recovery program for opiate dependance. Services include individual and group counseling, physician consultation and regular medication evaluations with a nurse. Suboxone is a form of buprenorphine that helps manage withdrawal and cravings and blocks the effects of any opiate use. We utilize this medication for several weeks to help with stabilization as an adjunct to the other services. |
