PCC Community Wellness Center (PCC) is tackling the opioid epidemic with its unique treatment program. In PCC’s program, the treatment of heroin, prescription drug abuse, alcohol, tobacco and other substances is offered right in the doctor’s office. The program offers treatment at select PCC health centers and at PCC’s Chemical Dependency Clinic, located within West Suburban Medical Center at 3 Erie Court, Suite 1300, in Oak Park. PCC’s goal is to meet patients where they are in their recovery and help them set goals without judgment. During normal doctor’s visits, patients can receive counseling and safe medications like Suboxone and Vivitrol to help decrease heroin, opioid, or alcohol use.

A unique feature of PCC’s Chemical Dependency Clinic is its location within a comprehensive primary care setting.  The Chemical Dependency Clinic shares its space with a clinic that offers walk-in appointments, sports medicine, and ultrasound, thereby naturally removing some stigma a patient may experience when seeking treatment for their addiction. PCC is a Department of Human Services/Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR) licensed facility for outpatient substance abuse treatment.
