Peer Services Evanston

About Peer Services Evanston
Peer Services Evanston is located in Evanston, Illinois. They offer outpatient medication assisted treatment using Suboxone for opioid use disorders. They’ve been around for 50+ years and are accredited by The Joint Commission.
Holistic Care for Teens and the LGBTQ+ Community
This facility offers specially tailored programming designed to meet the particular needs of teens, young adults and adults, focusing on individuals involved with the criminal justice system, members of the LGBTQ+ community and clients without insurance or who have Medicaid.
Their holistic approach to care is impressive to me, featuring family therapy and support services, DUI risk education, relapse prevention programming and help for those who wish to quit smoking. Medication assisted recovery via methadone is especially featured for opioid addictions, and they’ve been a methadone maintenance dispensary since the 1970s.
The facility accepts Illinois Medicaid along with several private insurances such as Blue Cross Blue Shield. There’s a sliding scale if you’re underinsured.
Nonjudgmental Support
Reviews of Peer Services Evanston are generally positive. Many clients have expressed appreciation for their dedication to providing personalized care. One clinician associated with the program says, “Our evidence based approach combines clinical best practices with compassion and respect for every client’s journey.”
Central Location Near Northwestern University Campus
The facility is conveniently located in downtown Evanston near Northwestern University, easy to access by public transit. It’s close to Centennial Park and Burnham Shores Park, and within walking distance to the Evanston Public Library. Lake Michigan and Evanston beaches are also nearby, affording plenty of opportunities to integrate nature into the recovery process. There’s even a Dog Beach.
