Maternal Addiction Center
Haymarket Center opened the first publically funded Maternal Addiction Center (MAC) in the Midwest in March, 1990, offering long-term residential care to chemically-dependent women at any time during their pregnancies. The goal of the program is to promote drug-free living and to insure drug-free births with enhanced maternal-child attachment, returning mother and child to a non-drug-using environment.
Experience during ensuing years has demonstrated that fully 85 percent of the women entering their program have not had pre-natal care with the current pregnancy. A majority have older children - on average four to five - of whom at least two have been born drug positive and with low birthweights.
For those who remain at Haymarket Center until they deliver, all but a handful have given birth to healthy drug-free babies, demonstrating that good nutrition and prenatal care and the desire to abstain from drugs or alcohol in this positive, save and structured environment can bring about the desired results. Women who come through the program are also provided education on responsible family parenting.
The two MAC units offer 32 beds and accept pregnant women at any time. This residential program offers an open-ended stay.
Following detox, a highly-structured daily schedule is the routine, with time allotted to aerobics, meditation, classes, counseling, and other appropriate activities.
Classes teach homemaking skill, parenting and nutritional guidance with hands-on experience in the unit's small kitchen.
Recreation therapy and leisure time planning take place daily.
Medical referrals are made as needed, with each mother-to-be visiting a physician regularly.
Family involvement and counseling are major concerns, as are planning for appropriate shelter and continuing recovery for the client after her baby is delivered.
Generally there is no charge to the client during her stay.
Athey Hall
Athey Hall is a residential treatment facility for chemically affected parenting women and their dependent children. This is a long term, 24-hour day residential treatment model that provides the continuity of care and support for both mother and her children. This program incorporates distinct services and activities at various and different stages, or phases of care.
These three distinct treatment specific phases are individually planned and typically it takes approximately three to six months to complete the entire process. This program also requires clients to cooperate with human service agencies that will assist them into a state of independence. Clients are allowed to house up to two under school age children on the unit. Each client has their own bedroom and a kitchen area is provided.
Mentally Ill Substance Abuse Program (MISA)
A 16-bed shelter is funded by the City of Chicago Department of Human Services to serve the homeless mentally ill. Detox services are available within Haymarket Center if needed.
Each client is fully assessed. Medical and psychiatric services are triaged for care, and transportation is provided.
Clients are monitored and stabilized for mental condition. A structured daily schedule is maintained, and guidance and education services provide life skill enhancements, which assist clients toward independent living.
Case management services are provided on site. Clients assessed to be dually diagnosed receive substance abuse dependency counseling.
Accommodations for men and women are separate. Clients share group activities including life skill counseling, meals and recreation. Self-help meetings are available daily.
A psychiatric team, consisting of a psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist, and a licensed, certified social worker assist the hands-on staff in the unit. Medication management is a core function for the program.
