Banyan Heartland

Located across 33 sprawling acres in the peaceful Illinois countryside, Banyan Heartland offers a serene retreat for men and women seeking to overcome addiction and manage mental health disorders. They develop individualized recovery plans that blend evidence-based methods with experiential therapies, addressing both symptoms and underlying causes to foster healing across every aspect of life.

Make Progress with Evidence-Based Care

Banyan Heartland’s masters-level clinicians and therapists start by getting clear on the patient’s history and current risks, then build a plan that prioritizes stabilization first and progress next. Through daily group therapy and weekly individual therapy, patients begin to understand their patterns, rebuild coping skills, and create a realistic plan for life after rehab. Evidence-based therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), art therapy, family therapy, and more.

Find Space to Heal in the Countryside

Formerly a spa, Banyan Heartland’s 33-acre campus offers clients a peaceful setting just 90 minutes south of Chicago. The grounds feature a large pond where clients can fish or relax by the water, while walking trails, a gym, and recreation spaces encourage movement and connection. Clients stay in shared bedrooms within separate housing for mental health and substance use treatment, with chef-prepared meals that add comfort to daily life.

Receive a Plan for Lasting Wellness

Upon completing residential treatment, patients leave Banyan Heartland with a clear path. Every aftercare plan is customized to the patient’s history, support network, and treatment progress. Banyan keeps them connected to care virtually or in the day (PHP) program. Patients can also be set up with recovery housing, peer support groups, continued medication management, and a strong alumni community.
