Way Back Inn offers “Extended Residential Care” (ERC) for substance use and gambling disorders, as well as co-occurring disorders.
Extended Residential Care is a highly structured, long-term therapeutic living environment for individuals to grow and nurture their new life in recovery. Individuals struggling with the disease of addiction have often lost or lacked structure in their lives. One of the functions of Way Back Inn is to revitalize and instill renewed productive living habits and daily life functions. The aim of the program is to lay the foundation for a lasting recovery, including maintaining one’s overall health, family relationships, and social relationships.
For the duration of the ERC program, each participant lives in one of our homes from 90 days to one year, depending on one’s unique story and treatment plan. We have two ERC homes in Maywood for men-identified adults and one facility in Oak Park for women-identified adults.
While in the ERC program, participants receive clinical services, housing, and food. Each client has their own individualized treatment plan, receiving between five to nine hours of clinical services weekly, including individual and group sessions with our Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors. We include programs at this level of care that assist with time management, employment, and budgeting.
