Chicago Lakeshore Hospital is a high quality private behavioral health and dual diagnosis treatment center located on the north side of the city. We specialize in the treatment of adults, children and adolescents with psychiatric and alcohol or drug dependency issues. Recovery is very important to us, and we are committed to a supportive environment and an ongoing plan for improved mental health and long-term sobriety of our patients. We are dedicated to educating the public to the value of identifying and treating behavioral illnesses, addictions, and their impact on people's lives! Chicago Lakeshore Hospital provides treatment services to those struggling with behavioral and co-occurring alcoholism and chemical dependency, as well as including their families and loved-ones as an integral part of our multi-disciplinary team approach. Treatment services include screening, assessment, detox services (where necessary), treatment planning, crisis intervention, consultation, inpatient and outpatient services, education, referrals, and individual and group counseling. Chicago Lakeshore Hospital specializes in the treatment of dual diagnoses—a combination of a behavioral health or a mental health disorder issue along with alcoholism/drug use/chemical dependency. We offer this treatment for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as comprehensive treatment for the LGBTQ community. Services for the members of the LBGTQ community who struggle with depression, anxiety, and alcohol and/or drug abuse are designed around a model of caring and non-judgmental approach. The same psychiatric and mental health programs we offer in the broader patient setting are available to LGBTQ patients with the addition of services directed at identifying and treating issues specific to gender and sexual identity. The Valeo Pride program at Chicago Lakeshore Hospital offers both inpatient and outpatient programs designed to meet the needs of our LGBTQ patients.
