About Continuing Recovery Center
Continuing Recovery Center in Irving, Illinois provides comprehensive addiction treatment from medical detox through sober living. This Joint Commission-accredited facility specializes in dual diagnosis care and offers a full continuum including residential treatment, outpatient programs, and robust aftercare support.
Continuing Recovery Center operates as a Joint Commission-accredited residential treatment facility in Irving, Illinois, serving the greater St. Louis region and communities throughout central Illinois. This recovery center provides medical detox services alongside comprehensive addiction treatment programs designed for individuals seeking long-term recovery solutions.
The facility offers a complete continuum of care including medical detox, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs, traditional outpatient treatment, and sober living arrangements. Their residential treatment program addresses alcohol use disorder, opioid addiction, benzodiazepine addiction, cocaine addiction, and other substance abuse conditions, with specialized dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders.
Treatment approaches combine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with family therapy, group sessions, and peer recovery specialist support. Clinical Director Alyce Enloe (MA, LPC, LCPC) and Outpatient Clinical Director Jeff Brenneman (LCSW) lead programming that integrates multiple therapeutic modalities to support sustained recovery.
The recovery center serves adults, veterans, pregnant women, and seniors, accepting private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay arrangements. Their aftercare and alumni program, combined with relapse prevention planning and connections to the broader recovery community, positions Continuing Recovery Center as a long-term partner in the recovery process rather than simply an acute treatment provider.
Medical Detox and Residential Treatment Programs
Continuing Recovery Center begins the treatment process with medically supervised detox services for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances. The residential treatment program provides 24-hour care in a structured environment where clients address underlying addiction issues through intensive therapy and medical support.
The facility's partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers hospital-level intensity while allowing clients to return home or to sober living arrangements each evening. This level of care serves as an effective bridge between residential treatment and outpatient programming, maintaining therapeutic momentum while gradually increasing independence.
Outpatient Programs and Community Integration
The intensive outpatient program provides multiple weekly therapy sessions while clients maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. Standard outpatient treatment offers ongoing support through individual sessions, group therapy, and psychiatric care as clients rebuild their lives in the recovery community.
Clinical Director Jeff Brenneman (LCSW) oversees outpatient services that emphasize real-world application of recovery skills. The program incorporates peer recovery specialists who bring lived experience to the treatment team, creating authentic connections between clients and the broader recovery community.
Dual Diagnosis and Specialized Populations
Continuing Recovery Center treats co-occurring disorders through integrated dual diagnosis programming that addresses both addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously. This approach recognizes that sustainable recovery requires treating the whole person, not just the substance abuse symptoms.
The facility serves pregnant women, veterans, and seniors with specialized considerations for each population's unique needs. Veterans can utilize TRICARE benefits, while pregnant women receive care that protects both maternal and fetal health during the recovery process.
Aftercare Support and Alumni Network
The aftercare and alumni program maintains connections between graduates and the treatment center, creating ongoing recovery community support. Relapse prevention planning equips clients with specific strategies and local resources to maintain sobriety after completing primary treatment.
Sober living arrangements provide supervised housing for clients transitioning from residential treatment or those needing structured living environments during outpatient care. These living situations reinforce recovery principles while clients rebuild independence and community connections in Irving and surrounding areas.
