Rosecrance provides treatment services for individuals with substance abuse and mental health disorders, including residential treatment with an emphasis on co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders and specialty residential programs for adolescents and young adults facing mood and anxiety disorders or trauma.[1] Residential treatment is supported by additional services including detoxification, recovery homes, veterans’ programs, prevention and early intervention programs, criminal justice and specialty court programs, and alumni services.[2] Mental health services extend beyond outpatient treatment with supportive housing and crisis services.
History
In 1864, Dr. James and Frannie Rosecrance built a 16-room white house in New Milford, Illinois. First erected as a clinic for Civil War soldiers, the structure switched focus to youth and families by the late 1800s.[3] The Rosecrances left provisions in their wills to turn the house into the Rosecrance Memorial Home for Children on Aug. 11, 1916.[4] The home operated as an orphanage for boys until the early 1950s.[5]
Rosecrance has grown from serving 12 to 18 boys in 1916 to more than 37,000 clients annually (37,024 clients served in fiscal year 2018).[6]
In 1995, Rosecrance opened a $5.3 million, 76-bed adult treatment center in Rockford.[7]
In early 2004, it opened the $14 million, 78-bed Rosecrance Griffin Williamson Campus to treat adolescents.[8]
In early 2010, Rosecrance merged with the Janet Wattles Center and its subsidiaries.[9]
In July 2016, Community Elements merged into Rosecrance in Champaign, Illinois.[10]
In January 2018, Prairie Center merged into Rosecrance in central Illinois.[11]
Rosecrance announced an affiliation with Jackson Recovery Centers in January 2019.[12]
