About
Situated conveniently near Old Route 66 and West Custer Avenue in Pontiac, Illinois, the Institute for Human Resources (IHR) of Livingstone County provides a comprehensive suite of outpatient mental health and substance abuse services catering to children, adolescents, and adults. Their offerings encompass individual, family, and group therapy, psychiatric services, and round-the-clock crisis intervention. IHR ensures prompt access to emergency support, features on-site psychiatric professionals, and aids individuals in both mental health and addiction recovery processes.
The dedicated staff employs evidence-backed therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Their services extend to trauma-informed care, skills development, case management, and assistance for co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. Licensed therapists and psychiatric providers collaborate closely with clients to foster safety, emotional well-being, and enduring coping strategies using a structured, strengths-oriented counseling approach.
Youth facing crises can seek assistance from IHR's Screening Assessment Support Services program, which provides screenings and preliminary treatment planning to avert the need for hospitalization. The Operation Snowball initiative inspires students to make wise choices and develop leadership skills among their peers. IHR also offers DUI education, gambling assessments, and prevention services within schools. Additionally, they provide medication-assisted recovery, psychiatric consultations, and programs tailored for individuals in jail. Services are available on a sliding fee scale based on financial circumstances, and they accept most insurance plans.
