Find Treatment & Support

Dual Diagnosis Support Group

If you are living with a mental illness and a substance use disorder at the same time, NAMI DuPage offers support groups to allow members to share frustrations, successes, where to find the best community resources, and tips on what works best when trying to recover. The group is led by a NAMI DuPage peer counselor and a licensed clinician. For more information, view the Support Group flyer or visit the NAMI DuPage website.

Support through Harm Reduction 

Harm reduction services meet people where they are, keeping in mind that the road to recovery is different for everyone. Harm reduction resources make sure everyone can stay safe, no matter where they are on the road to recovery. This can include things like preventing and managing disease, and preventing a fatal overdose.

To learn how to identify and prevent a fatal overdose, visit the Recognizing and Responding to Opioid Overdose page. Request to have a Narcan kit mailed to you at no cost by the DuPage Narcan Program.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an effective form of treatment in which a patient will, in addition to counseling, use medications that will curb withdrawal symptoms that can occur when somebody stops using opioids. Common medications to use during MAT are methadone, Naltrexone (common brands are Vivitrol or Reviva) and Buprenorphine (brands Buprenex or Butrans). To find a list of treatment providers in Illinois that provide MAT, visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA’s) directory.
