“At CRC, we employ evidence-based strategies such as naloxone prescription and training,” said Dr. Beth Dunlap, CRC’s medical director. “With referrals to community-based harm reduction organizations and the use of medication-assisted recovery, we hope to prevent overdose and other serious complications from opioid use.”

CRC Institute, Chicago’s newest integrated center for healing, is all about staying current, offering services that are most needed in the community, and applying evidence-based medical services for substance use, addiction, detox, and mental health. By offering regenerative medicine along with clinical and holistic treatments, Chicago-area residents engage in individually-designed programming close to where they live, which enables families and loved ones to participate in the process, as well.

With a staff that includes doctors, nurses, holistic practitioners, clinical experts, meditation guides, yoga teachers, and acupuncturists, CRC is always open to the newest and most effective forms of therapies and programming. They offer a wide range of services and programs aimed to connect with individuals and families who are looking to heal.

Additionally, as the overdose numbers keep rising, they remain on the lookout for overdose and fentanyl risk. They are aware of this growing problem and have prioritized services to address the issue. As the prevalence of opioid overdose in the Chicago area has spiked over the last few years, the team at CRC is paying close attention and is trained and ready to assist patients.

“We are a registered drug overdose prevention program through the state of Illinois,” Dr. Dunlap added. “This fact enables the team at CRC to train patients, staff, and family members to recognize and respond to overdose, which is, unfortunately, more important now than ever.”
