Substance Abuse Counseling in Bull Valley, IL

Drug and/or alcohol abuse has been proven to change a person’s brain chemistry and behavior. Often, this makes it even more difficult for a person to control their use of an addictive substance.

We know that overcoming addiction takes more than willpower or a strong mind. That’s why we work with local substance abuse recovery programs to help you make lasting changes.

Alternative Natural Treatments in Bull Valley, IL

For many people, medicated treatment is a good and necessary choice. But if you would like to explore other options, our counselors provide alternative natural treatments as well. We know that committing to a medicinal routine is less than ideal for some, and we want all of our clients to find the best treatment plan for them. 

We like to say that we are people-centered, rather than disease-centered. So when you come to our clinic, you can trust that your counselor will actually listen to your needs and preferences. We won’t stop until we find a treatment that promotes your overall health, rather than just easing your symptoms.
