Lawrence Hall

Located in Chicago, Illinois, this center helps children and young adults ages 4–25 who struggle with serious emotional and behavioral challenges, including trauma, neglect, and abuse. They offer 24-hour residential care, therapy, education, and transitional living. CFTC focuses on helping youth heal and grow in a safe, supportive environment.
CFTC uses a trauma-informed approach, meaning they understand how trauma affects emotions and behavior. Therapies like talk therapy, art, music, recreation, and animal-assisted therapy help youth express feelings, manage stress, and build confidence. These treatments help young people develop life skills and healthy relationships for a better future.
The center offers creative programs like theater, outdoor adventure therapy, and music lessons. Youth can act in Shakespeare plays, go rock climbing, or learn to play instruments. These activities support healing while helping youth gain self-esteem and a strong sense of identity and purpose.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Lawrence Hall offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Lawrence Hall works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
