Rapid, Walk-In Access to Treatment

Symetria Recovery – Palos Heights operates on a same-day access model, offering walk-in admissions for people ready to begin treatment immediately. This approach minimizes common barriers to care, like long waitlists or complicated intake procedures, helping clients take their first step toward recovery when motivation strikes. The clinic's location in a suburban area near Chicago also includes transportation assistance to help more individuals stay engaged in treatment. The facility’s policies allowing phone use and vaping, offer additional comfort and flexibility.

Integrated MAT with Unlimited Therapy

Symetria provides medications for addiction treatment (MAT) such as methadone, Suboxone, and injectable naltrexone alongside unlimited individual therapy sessions. This pairing allows clients to stabilize physically while addressing emotional and behavioral challenges at their own pace. Therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care.

Whole-Person Mental Health Support

The center is also equipped to treat co-occurring mental health conditions that often accompany addiction. Clients can receive psychiatric care for issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia—all within the same treatment plan. This integrated model helps reduce the need for external referrals and creates continuity of care.

Peer Support and Community Recovery

The clinic supports recovery beyond clinical services. Clients can attend peer-led support groups like AA and NA, access recovery coaching, and participate in ongoing mentoring. These connections can help rebuild social support networks and reduce isolation, especially in early recovery.

Patient Reviews

Many former clients describe Symetria Recovery – Palos Heights as “life-saving” and appreciate the facility's trauma-informed approach and staff empathy. While strict punctuality policies have drawn some criticism, most reviews reflect strong therapeutic relationships and a deep sense of safety and respect.
