About Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital

Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital, located in Palos Heights, Illinois offers behavioral health services for adolescents and adults. They provide hospital detox for substance abuse disorders.

For individuals with severe addiction, hospital detox is the safest way to detox. During this process, individuals are monitored closely by medical professionals in a sterile and safe environment. Medical staff screen and assess each patient and manage their withdrawal symptoms. Medications may be prescribed to ease symptoms and prevent health risks. Individuals may be escalated to another tier of care if necessary. Staff will also offer referrals and support for next steps.

Detox is the first stage of substance abuse treatment. Treatment generally lasts several days. Once their body has rid itself of all traces of drugs or alcohol, individuals can continue their sobriety journey by entering another level of care such as outpatient programs or sober housing.

Palos Hospital accepts private pay, Medicare, military and private health insurance. Contact your provider to confirm coverage as out of network benefits do vary.
