About

About ABRAXAS Youth and Family Services

ABRAXAS Youth and Family Services operates a long-running adult substance use treatment program on Chicago’s South Side at 5701 South Wood Street, locally known as Southwood Interventions. Although the broader Abraxas organization is best known for youth services, the South Wood site is structured to serve adults dealing with alcohol and drug addiction, court-ordered DUI clients, and individuals managing co-occurring mental health concerns.

The program provides a full slate of adult addiction services on a single campus. Clients can begin with withdrawal management, step into residential treatment, then continue care through outpatient and intensive outpatient programming as their stability grows. DUI services run alongside the clinical track, which is essential in Cook County where many adult clients enter treatment through court referrals. As a SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program, the site can also provide medication-supported care for opioid use disorder, including methadone-based maintenance.

Abraxas describes its overall approach as trauma-informed and holistic, emphasizing accountability, skill development, and emotional safety. For adult clients in particular, that translates into evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, individual and group counseling, and active case management to connect clients with housing, employment, and re-entry resources after treatment ends. Programming is designed to be responsive to the high rates of trauma, justice involvement, and co-occurring conditions in the local population.

The South Wood Street site accepts Medicaid, state insurance, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, and the program is accredited by The Joint Commission. With a multi-level care continuum, an OTP designation, and deep connections to Cook County referral systems, ABRAXAS South Wood / Southwood Interventions remains a key resource for adults in Chicago’s South Side seeking residential or outpatient addiction treatment.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management Services

ABRAXAS Youth and Family Services provides medically supervised detox programs with 24/7 medical oversight for safe withdrawal management from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances. Their Joint Commission accreditation ensures adherence to rigorous safety protocols during the critical detox phase when medical complications are most likely to occur.

The facility's certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) status enables them to provide specialized opioid detox protocols and FDA-approved medications for opioid withdrawal management. This certification is essential for facilities treating the complex medical needs of individuals withdrawing from fentanyl, heroin, prescription opioids, and other opioid substances requiring specialized medical intervention.

Inpatient Detox and Residential Treatment Programs

Following medical detox, clients can transition seamlessly into residential treatment at ABRAXAS's Chicago facility. This integrated approach eliminates gaps in care that often lead to relapse between detox completion and ongoing treatment engagement, providing continuous medical supervision and therapeutic support.

Their residential programs utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while addressing trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders that complicate withdrawal and early recovery. The facility's dual diagnosis capabilities ensure that underlying mental health conditions receive concurrent treatment during and after the detox process.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options

ABRAXAS accepts Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay arrangements for their medical detox and treatment programs. Medicaid acceptance is particularly important for individuals seeking immediate detox services, as many people requiring urgent withdrawal management lack private insurance coverage.

Veterans receive specialized attention through TRICARE acceptance and veteran-focused programming that addresses military-related trauma and substance use patterns. The facility also works with court-ordered clients, providing medically supervised detox for individuals mandated to treatment through the Cook County judicial system.
