Banyan Treatment Center – Chicago

My experience at Banyan was amazing! From the initial call I received from Jacob when searching for help and the constant follow up-not feeling like a burden, rather caring, I came back from an out of state facility and so glad I made this choice. Maggie was extremely welcoming and helped so much with her personal experience and very resourceful with assistance along the way. The staff made sure to make me feel like a person and not just a statistic. Groups were ran with us in mind, not just “textbook handouts”. The housing was close to the facility and felt like own home. I owe a lot to Banyan thank you for being there at one of my lowest points!

I'm now in my 9th week of IOP at Banyan Telehealth. After 20+ years of abusing alcohol, I decided it was time for me to take back control of my entire life, including my physical and mental health. Shortly after stopping drinking s friend told me I could not do it alone and referred me to Banyan for the support system that I would need to achieve the sober life I committed to. I didn't know what to expect but by the end of my first group meeting with Jasmine, I knew I made the right decision to join Baynan Telehealth IOP. Jasmine is nothing short of an angel. She leads our group with strength and wisdom, she is sincere and caring, she is an absolute expert and she is very much as responsible for my success as the Banyan curriculum. With her and Banyan, I have literally changed my entire life around. This is a support system that is providing me with the tools for my current success and what will certainly be my continued success with my sobriety for the rest of my life. If you are struggling with an addiction of any kind, and you are serious about committing to a sober life, you will be able to achieve your goals with the love and support of group IOP. Banyan's program and staff is an all inclusive support system that has helped me change my life and if it can do that for me, it can and will do it for you. Sincerely, BR

This was a great place to clean up, and make positive changes. It was a safe clean place, which is more than I can say for other similar institutions. Special shoutouts to Rachael my therapist, and Maggie my caseworker. Loved Megan the nurse, she was instrumental in helping with making sure I had a good plan for discharge. I’ve read a couple reviews, from people that seem to have unrealistic expectations for what happens at treatment. Clean…safe…and people who really do there best to help make sure you are setup for success. 10/10 would recommend if you or a loved one are looking to make a change.

Being at Banyan was a game changer for me. I have been struggling with my addiction for over 13 years and after multiple attempts at other facilities I finally feel I have the necessary tools to get it right this time. A large part of that was the staff. Everyone from the councilors, administrators, nursing, and staff in general were on their game. I would recommend Banyan to anyone whether they are early on in their recovery or have been struggling for a long time like myself. Thank you Banyan and I look forward to coming back. Of course that is to visit with long term sobriety and a happy new life!!!

Great staff and programming, helped me rebalance myself and figure out a solid aftercare that I wouldn't have been able to do myself. While being here I felt that I was a part of an amazing community of people and set myself up for success in my future being addiction free.
