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!

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!!!

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.

I am a resident at Banyan’s housing and have been living here since September 2023. The structure and support that sober living offers me is amazing and has been a real blessing in my life. They are strict but understanding in what has been necessary in my recovery. Thank you to all of housing (Ernest, Keri, Maggie, Pete and Emma ) for all that you offer and helping me to be the best I can be.
