About Chestnut Health Systems Granite City
Based in Illinois, Chestnut Health Systems Granite City provides mental health and addiction treatment for teens, adults, and families of all genders, races, and backgrounds. The center also accepts Illinois Medicaid and other private insurances. They also offer state-funded financial assistance and sliding-scale payment options to those eligible.
Treatment here is inclusive of individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions. Treatment for adults here typically involves assessments and screening, as well as DUI evaluation where necessary. From here, staff can level with clients and see which program or treatment would better serve the individual. This might begin with medically monitored detox for some, but may also involve intensive (IOP) and outpatient programs (OP), as well as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for those who need it.
For teens and young people, specialized community support services and a variety of outpatient and psychiatric care are provided. The center strongly encourages families to get involved in treatment to support their loved ones, as it really can make a difference in a successful and sustainable recovery.
In terms of what former clients think of their care here, reviews are mixed though seem to skew negative. Some praise staff and the center’s detox services. However, some recent negative reviews share worrying allegations regarding racism, homophobia, and illegal actions. Others express dread when reflecting on their time here. This is extremely concerning to see. With this in mind, I would urge anyone thinking of committing to treatment here to conduct their own thorough research beforehand.
