CILA (Community Integrated Living Arrangement)

Emergency Psych Services
Works closely with local hospital emergency rooms to evaluate the needs of those experiencing severe psychiatric crisis.
Integrated Health Care Services
Integrated Health Care Services are provided to patients at DuPage Medical Group and DuPage Community Clinics. A team of medical and behavioral health care specialists collaborate to meet the psychological, emotional and physical needs of patients within primary care settings. Behavioral health care specialists, physicians, nurses and other medical providers are based onsite and work together to address the physical, mental health, psychosocial and chronic disease issues facing adults. This integrated health care model makes it easier for patients to access care, provides an array of comprehensive services, increases patients' capacity to follow doctor's recommendations, and improves healthcare results, thus reducing healthcare costs.
Screening Assessment and Supportive Services (SASS)
Stabilizes crisis situations and provides intensive mental health services to children and adolescents who are experiencing acute psychiatric episodes. SASS uses intensive community-based intervention to limit psychiatric hospitalizations.
Systems of Care
Is a DCFS-funded program which provides weekly home-based
individual and family therapy to DCFS wards and their foster families to stabilize foster placements. Case management and support are provided along with school intervention. Services typically span 9 - 12 months and include a psychiatric evaluation, medication monitoring, foster parent support and group activities.
Systems of Care (SOC)
Provides crisis response, stabilization and clinically intensive therapeutic services to emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children in the custody of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). SOC provides intensive services to children who are at risk of placement disruption, are stepping down from a more restrictive setting, need mental health or specialized care, or need continued treatment and stabilization services following involvement with SASS.
Veterans Individual and Family Program (VIP)
Offers outpatient counseling, psychiatric and support services to veterans and their families to help them manage symptoms, stress and challenges related to military service. The program emphasizes capacity for change while addressing key challenges, special needs and adjustment issues experienced by veterans.
