Substance Use
Treatment Options
Assessment & Admissions Services
Individuals are assessed to determine the most appropriate placement for treatment. The final decision regarding the type of care is up to the individual. If the program that is the best fit for the individual is full, START NOW provides daily treatment and support as the individual waits to enter the more structured setting.
Detoxification Unit
The Whitman Medical Unit is a 10-bed emergency medical detoxification unit for individuals who may be at risk of withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs. The unit is staffed with nurses and support staff around the clock and provides medication interventions to stabilize individuals during one to five day stays.
White Oaks Knolls
White Oaks Knolls is a residential alcohol and drug treatment facility located in a private wooded landscape. Men support their recovery by learning new skills and discovering their own strengths. Services offered included individual counseling, family counseling and educational modules. Involvement with mutual aid and community support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous are available. White Oaks Knolls offers a variable length of stay based on individual needs.
Continuing Care
Primary treatment, either in the residential or intensive outpatient program, is only the first path on the road to recovery. Participation in Continuing Care is central to the success of both treatment programs. Continuing Care gives men the tools they need to meet the demands of life while continuing their recovery. Participants meet once a week and focus on relapse prevention.
Phoenix Group
If a man finds himself challenged in recovery by a return to use of alcohol or drugs, he may participate in the Phoenix Group rather than re-enter other treatments. The Phoenix Group is designed to stabilize recovery, examine what went wrong, and revise one’s personal recovery plan to help prevent future relapses. Like any disease, it is important to seek professional help early.

Intensive Outpatient Options
A woman's life is complex. She is expected to play many roles- wife, mother, career woman, and friend. This is why New Leaf is dedicated to the principle that the most appropriate treatment is the least disruptive to one’s life and most cost-effective.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is "real-world recovery." Women who are able to remain free of alcohol and other drugs in a less structured environment can continue their normal activities, including job and family, and still participate fully in treatment. Through group therapy and education, women can increase their self-awareness and develop skills that will help build a new, healthy interpersonal support system and a sober lifestyle.
New Leaf Intensive Outpatient Services
The two women’s IOP programs at New Leaf consist of four, four-hour sessions per week. Individual counseling is also provided throughout the program.
Project Safe
Project Safe provides outpatient services for women involved with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) in the Peoria area. Outreach workers transport individuals to and from treatment, as well as to other appointments.
