About Loretto Hospital
Loretto Hospital is a substance use treatment provider located at 645 South Central Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, serving adults in the Austin neighborhood and surrounding West Side communities. The facility offers a full continuum of addiction care including detox, residential rehabilitation, intensive outpatient programming, and aftercare services.
As a not for profit community hospital established in 1923, Loretto emphasizes patient centered care and strong community partnerships.
DASA Certified Addiction Treatment
You can be confident you’re getting the highest level of care with the full continuum of treatment here. Across their detox unit, residential rhab, IOP and outpatient therapy, all of the addiction services here are certified by the Illinois Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse or DASA. They also meet ASAM criteria for quality assurance.
Services for Adults with DUI Charges
This treatment center specifically services adults ages 18 and older. I appreciate that they have services available for people who have been charged with or convicted of DUI. They have treatment for compulsive gambling as well which can be hard to find.
This hospital’s behavioral health center accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and offers financial assistance for qualifying patients.
Starting care at Loretto Hospital typically begins by contacting the admissions team to schedule an assessment. Staff can help determine the appropriate level of care and review insurance coverage or financial assistance options.

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. |
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency. |

Hospital detoxification allows you to withdraw from drugs or alcohol in a hospital setting. It’s ideal for people with severe withdrawal symptoms or complex medical needs. You’ll receive constant monitoring, emergency care if needed and FDA approved prescription medications. |
Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment. |
Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems. |
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey. |
