About Symetria Recovery Palos Heights
Symetria Recovery is an outpatient drug rehab provider with locations in Illinois and Texas. They have a clinic in Palos Heights, Illinois, that gives you access to proven addiction medication and therapy programs that have worked for many clients. I like that they have a much better staff-to-patient ratio than the industry standards and are accredited by CARF. They’ve been in business for over 17 years and have over 8,000 success stories.
The Palos Height location is one of three Symetria locations in Cook County. They are conveniently located close to a Pace bus station. There are also plenty of parks on the other side of the Little Calumet River via the Cal Sag Trail Access Point next door.
Their admissions are available 24/7 by phone and have evening and weekend clinic hours for folks who need non-business hour access. This includes Saturday mornings. Clients can choose between several FDA-approved medications to treat opioid use disorders. They offer access to Suboxone, methadone and Vivitrol. There are pros and cons of each of these and so you can speak to your provider to figure out which is right for you.
The most impressive benefit that I see is that they offer unlimited individual therapy. You’ll meet with a master’s level therapist as often as you want. This is almost unheard of. Most outpatient clinics offer group therapy and limit their individual therapy to one a week or even a month.
Symetria Recovery runs intensive outpatient programs (IOP). They have both morning and evening sessions as well as SMART Recovery meetings every week. An IOP can be an effective alternative to residential treatment because it costs less and lets you live at home and continue to live your regular life. I appreciate that staff are also equipped to treat underlying mental health issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma.
