Lincoln Recovery

Integrated Care for Substance Use and Mental Health

The center provides residential and detox services for adults with substance use disorders, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions. Each treatment plan is adapted to the individual and can include a mix of one-on-one counseling, group therapy, trauma-informed care, and family counseling sessions. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) options are available to support both withdrawal management and ongoing care plans.

A Soothing, Retreat-Like Environment

Located in the rural town of Raymond, Illinois, the center offers a calm and private setting for recovery. The grounds include a pond, walking gardens, and outdoor spaces for movement and reflection. Inside, clients can enjoy amenities such as a fitness center, library, game rooms, and an indoor pool. Private rooms and three chef-prepared meals per day add comfort and stability during treatment. Clients can keep their personal devices, allowing them to stay connected to family and work responsibilities.

Flexible 12-Step and Non-12-Step Recovery Paths

Recognizing that recovery looks different for everyone, the center offers both 12-Step and non-12-Step pathways. Clients may participate in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings or choose Self Management and Recovery Training (SMART) Recovery, a secular, science-based program. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) are among the evidence-based methods offered.

Medical Detox with 24/7 Support

Detox is closely supervised to keep clients safe and as comfortable as possible. Licensed staff monitor vital signs and provide care around the clock, addressing symptoms like nausea, anxiety, or sleep disturbance as they arise and prescribing medications as needed. This structured support helps reduce risks during withdrawal and gives clients a steadier transition into the next stage of treatment.

Planning for Long-Term Success

Aftercare preparation begins well before discharge. Staff work with each client to build a plan that may include outpatient counseling, local support groups, or sober living arrangements, depending on individual needs. Clients leave with clear next steps, contact information for providers, and relapse-prevention strategies tailored to their needs. This early planning helps ease the transition home and strengthens long-term recovery.
