About Ascension Mercy Hospital
Ascension Mercy Hospital in Aurora, Illinois formerly offered comprehensive inpatient detox and residential addiction treatment within its behavioral health unit. The hospital based facility provided a full continuum of care for adults and adolescents, with its detox and residential programs serving as the cornerstone of treatment.
While the center is now permanently closed, it once helped clients build a foundation for long term recovery through 24 hour medical support and evidence based therapies.
Hospital Based Detox and Residential Treatment
Clients received medically monitored detoxification and short term residential care in a secure hospital setting with round the clock nursing support. The program served individuals with substance use disorders and co occurring mental health conditions, typically offering stabilization and intensive treatment lasting several days to weeks.
MAT and Talk Therapies
I like that treatment here integrated cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and medication assisted treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and address underlying mental health needs. Participants engaged in daily group therapy, individual counseling, and family sessions while developing relapse prevention strategies.
The structured environment emphasized life skills training, peer support, and personalized care planning. Clinical staff created individualized treatment plans that prepared clients for step down care into partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programs.
Treatment for Co Occurring Eating Disorders
The facility once offered partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, standard outpatient care, and specialized eating disorder treatment with weekend programming. Payment was accepted through private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and self pay, with financial assistance and sliding scale options available for clients who qualified.

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |
