Recovery is possible. At Linden Oaks Behavioral Health, a part of Edward-Elmhurst Health, we want to help you achieve complete recovery. To do that, we treat the whole person—physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. Recovery is about understanding how to communicate, control negative thought patterns, identify and express feelings, and learn skills to manage stress and anger. It is about learning how to have fun without chemical dependency.That is why we use different types of treatment and therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, recreational therapy, life skills education and a host of other interventions to treat every patient individually. We also use medication when needed. We incorporate animal-assisted therapy, poetry therapy, spirituality and mindfulness to help reach adolescents and adults who may need creative interventions to connect the dots. Most of all, we partner with our patients and families.
