About McDermott Center/Haymarket Ctr Womens Medical Detox
McDermott Center / Haymarket Center Women’s Medical Detox is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 932 West Washington Boulevard on Chicago’s Near West Side. The center operates around the clock, seven days a week, making it a reachable option for individuals and families in Cook County who need immediate withdrawal management. Its specific focus on women’s medical detox distinguishes it within the broader Haymarket Center network, one of Chicago’s most established addiction treatment organizations.
The facility’s continuum of care spans four levels: medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient program, and intensive outpatient program (IOP). That full progression means a person can move from medically supervised detox directly into structured residential care and then step down through outpatient levels without transferring to an entirely different provider. For those in active withdrawal or at risk of dangerous withdrawal symptoms, the medical detox program is the entry point — providing clinical oversight during the most physically demanding phase of early recovery.
The center treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the confirmed therapeutic methods used in treatment. Trauma and PTSD are recognized conditions addressed at the facility, which is significant given the documented overlap between trauma histories and substance dependence in women seeking detox care. Services are available in both English and Spanish.
McDermott Center serves a notably wide range of populations, including women, pregnant women, veterans, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, and individuals who are court-ordered into treatment. The center also provides support for those living with HIV/AIDS and accommodates individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and state insurance — reducing financial barriers for those who need immediate access to detox programs in Chicago.
