About us
The Waukegan, Illinois-based Independence Center is a comprehensive behavioral health and drug rehab center that provides outpatient treatment to those with co-occurring disorders, substance misuse, and mental health concerns. Patients may get individual and group therapy that is customized to meet their unique requirements in an organized and encouraging setting at the facility.
Individuals in the outpatient program get treatment designed to address drug misuse as well as mental health issues. The Mental Illness/drug addiction (MISA) group is one of the specialty groups available; it is designed to assist those who have a history of drug addiction and mental illness. To aid in recovery, this group combines alternative self-help formats with the classic 12-step recovery concepts. In order to help participants better manage stress, anxiety, and other symptoms associated with mental health and drug addiction, the program also offers relaxation and coping skills groups. These groups teach participants methods including deep breathing, meditation, and themed imagery.
Additionally, the Center provides helpful coping mechanisms for symptoms that people with co-occurring illnesses often face, such despair and poor impulse control. The goal of these therapy procedures is to provide individuals useful skills for enhancing their emotional and mental health. Individual therapy sessions are offered to those who need more individualized treatment.
Independence Center offers recommendations for housing, employment, and educational possibilities as part of its aftercare programs to help people on their path to reintegration into society. Clients will have the tools necessary to create a secure and self-sufficient future thanks to this ongoing assistance.
By giving them the resources and abilities they need to become independent, the Independence Center aims to enable persons with mental disorders to contribute positively to society. People of all backgrounds are impacted by mental health illnesses, and the Center works on the premise that mental disease is curable. Many individuals might find respite from their symptoms and strive toward recovery by actively participating in customized treatment regimens. The company is committed to providing top-notch vocational training, rehabilitation programs, and other crucial support services that help people reintegrate into their communities in full social and functional roles.
Independence Center’s dedication to provide high-quality treatment and services that adhere to set standards of excellence is shown by its accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That’s why we’ve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You’ll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
