Riverwoods Behavioral Health

Detox and step-down care

The facility offers psychiatric stabilization and withdrawal management within a 105-bed behavioral health hospital. Detox may be available for clients who need help safely stoping substance use before continuing to other care options. This may include 24/7 monitoring, medication support when determined to be appropriate, and one-on-one assistance. After a typical three- to five-day detox period, clients may transition to PHP, IOP, and aftercare groups.

Support for older adults

A Supportive Care Unit offers short-term crisis stabilization specifically for adults ages 65 and older. Treatment in this unit typically lasts about 10 days. The facility has a higher staff-to-client ratio for this unit, allowing for additional assistance with mobility and everyday activities. It can also accommodate oxygen tanks and some medical concerns. Care includes psychiatric supervision, individual and group therapy, living and relationship skills, as well as recreational, music, and expressive therapies. Families may have the ability to take part in therapy, discharge planning, and discussions about ongoing support.

Military community care

Veterans, active-duty service members, and military families can access care at the facility through the Department of Veterans Affairs Community Care Network and TRICARE. This may help clients connected to the military find a supportive environment to address mental health and substance use concerns while accessing multiple levels of care based on individual client needs.

Free ongoing aftercare

Current and former clients can access support after formal treatment is complete through free aftercare groups that may include weekly 12-step meetings taking place onsite. This may help clients build peer connections and support their recovery as they return to a more independent daily life.
