About Northwestern Medicine Ben Gordon Center Health Services Drive

You’ll find Northwestern Medicine’s Ben Gordon Center on Health Services Drive in Dekalb, Illinois. It’s about 65 miles west of Chicago. This behavioral health center provides addiction and dual diagnosis care for adults and adolescents. You can access various outpatient programs and medication assisted treatment (MAT). Connections to medical detox at their partner facilities are also available.

You can access financial assistance if you’re unable to pay for emergency or medically necessary care. They provide free and discounted rates to ensure you get the care you need.

Enter The Living Room

The Living Room is one of their most notable features for DeKalb County adults experiencing overwhelming life situations. You can drop by The Living Room as an alternative to the emergency department. They’re open 24/7, even if the rest of the center is closed.

You can participate in their services for free with no appointment needed. Peer recovery support specialists with lived experience in recovery are ready to assist you. Breathing exercises, coloring, word searches, journaling, music, and much more are available.

Approaches for Women and DUIs

Another great feature is their specialized recovery home for women. You can access gender specific care with peer meetings, counseling, and case management. They even allow your children to live on campus while you work toward recovery.

I also think it’s great that they offer DUI services. They offer evaluations and investigative reports to help you meet the state requirements for a DUI offense. You can also participate in DUI risk education to understand the legal consequences, safety risks, and effects of driving under the influence.
