North Central Behavioral Health Systems is pleased to announce the latest development in our continued growth in north central Illinois with the opening of The Hygienic Institute building. NCBHS chose to keep the name The Hygienic Institute as the name of this site to pay homage to the institute’s original purpose of providing access to healthcare for the La Salle/Peru/Oglesby communities. Local residents are familiar with the Hygienic Institute name, history, location, and purpose. NCBHS believes that there is an ongoing commonality for its current use.

Detox, the process of allowing your body to rid itself of harmful substances, is a crucial step towards recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. While it can be a daunting and challenging experience, both physically and emotionally, supporting yourself through detox is essential to ensure a safe, successful, and sustainable recovery.
