Levels of care

Understanding your options in Illinois

Different levels of care exist to match the intensity of what someone needs. This page helps you understand what they are and when each fits. This is educational -- not medical advice.

Rule of thumb: if you are between two options, choose the one with more support for a short time. Step down when you feel steady.

Selected: Weekly therapy (Outpatient)

Next step: find options near you and ask for an intake or assessment.

If safety is uncertain

If you might harm yourself or someone else, or you cannot stay safe, call 988 or go to Crisis resources.
