Group sessions are held at the Harris House Treatment Center in St. Charles and include both psycho-educational and process groups on important recovery topics.
Individual Counseling
In addition to group sessions, each client will work with a dedicated counselor to develop an individualized treatment plan. Treatment plans identify unique problems of each client with treatment goals and time specified action plans. The length of the IOP program is between four to twelve weeks, or longer, depending on client need.

Recognizing that substance dependency is a family disease, the Harris House IOP dedicates one hour each week for family group. Family and significant other’s involvement in the assessment and treatment process are strongly encouraged and is integrated as a part of treatment.
