About Northwestern Medicine Ben Gordon Center DeKalb

Located in the southern end of DeKalb, Illinois, and tucked away in a residential neighborhood is the Northwestern Medicine and then Borden Center. This is a counseling center that operates under the greater Northwestern Hospital system.

As an advocate of accessible patient care, I appreciate the person focused support and quality healthcare service you'll receive here. Northwestern Medicine has a reputation that precedes it by earning the recognition of the US News & World Report for being a top ranked hospital in Illinois for 13 years straight.

I think one of the main factors that has allowed this medical system to stand out is their commitment to individualized and personable care.

That's exactly the type of care you'll find at their Ben Gordon Center in DeKalb. If you have struggled with your mental health or have co-occurring conditions, you'll find counselors here who bring a wealth of experience. They’ll help you understand your complex emotions and how to respond to them in a way that's productive and helps you grow.

Many people who receive services here might be enrolled in an outpatient program or seeking out counseling as a way to start on their path to recovery. Wherever you're at in your journey, you'll find supportive care that will motivate and inspire you to pursue sustainable sobriety. You'll do this by developing your recovery skills, learning how to identify and manage triggers, and understanding the different factors that contribute to relapse.

Through counseling here, you’ll also start building a community of support that you can lean on when you need to. You can get connected to community resources and peer groups so that you continue towards a life of health and wellness. Off site, local greenspaces, like Huntley Park or Shipman Park, can offer opportunities to relax and unwind.

Amenities

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction t...reatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Massage Room

The massage room offers a wealth of benefits as part of an overall evidence-based drug and alcohol recovery pr...ogram. Massage therapy boosts blood flow and flushes lactic acid from the muscles, and the vascular benefits last several days after the massage.

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to ge...t your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recov...er. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
