SunCloud Health Residential Northbrook

SunCloud Health cares for individuals with substance use, eating disorders, and mental health concerns around Chicago and in Maryland. Their Institute for Eating Disorders and Addiction in Northbrook, Illinois treats individuals with co-occurring eating and substance use disorders. With a holistic, solution-focused treatment, SunCloud aims to address all aspects of recovery simultaneously, using 1-on-1 counseling, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), group therapy, interpersonal therapy, life skill training, medication management, motivational therapy, nutrition counseling, psychoeducation, stress management, essential oils, drumming, yoga, experiential treatments, and relapse prevention counseling. While they don’t facilitate the 12 Steps as defined by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), their alcohol addiction treatment incorporates 12-Step principles, and they recommend participating in AA or another support group.
The Institute for Eating Disorders and Addiction provides residential care, day treatment, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and virtual care.
Although they prefer to treat all conditions all at once, SunCloud Health offers a harm reduction treatment approach, where they work with individuals on just one condition to reduce the amount of self-harm while leaving another condition untreated.
SunCloud Health is accredited by the Joint Commission, the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Eating Disorders Coalition, and the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (IAEDP) President’s Council.
SunCloud Health begins the process with a call to determine whether their program is a good fit, which may last 5 to 60 minutes. If they determine they're not the best match, they provide referrals to another center. Their team is available 24/7 to discuss admissions and answer questions. While a COVID-19 vaccination is required for residential admissions, it is not mandatory for day treatment or outpatient programs..
SunCloud Health operates 3 more clinics in the Chicago area and a location in Maryland that treat eating disorders, substance use, and mental health conditions. Their other locations treat treatment-resistant depression with specialized medication, therapy, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Those locations admit individuals regardless of whether they have one condition or multiple co-occurring conditions. They use the same holistic approach.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

SunCloud Health Residential Northbrook offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment.
