Discovery begins here.
Welcome to the place where you’ll find the peace and comfort you need to get back to the you you’re meant to be.
Here, you’ll gain the strength to uncover what needs to come to light in our warm, home-like environment. Every facility is selected to be the very best match possible for your specific needs.
At Discovery, you’ll work with our highly-trained, expert staff who’ll give you the confidence and reassurance you need to succeed. Using evidence-based techniques, they’ll guide you through the entire process and help propel you to discovering a better you. Treatment modalities we offer include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure & response prevention (ERP) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
In addition to receiving evidence-based therapies, you will have the opportunity to put “joyful” back into movement through yoga and other activities. Discovery’s specialized binge eating disorder (BED) program, Path to Peace, is also offered at this location.
Insurances we accept include but are not limited to Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Humana, HealthNet, Cigna and UNICARE. Please remember that the insurances we accept change frequently. Our insurance team will verify your coverage.
It won’t always be easy. But we will always be here for you.
Welcome to Discovery. Welcome to new beginnings.

“CFD has been absolutely fantastic. I have felt respected and cared for every step of the way. The meal support in particular was crucial in helping me normalize my eating patterns. I had family sessions once a week, and they were very valuable. Both my therapist and my dietician were absolutely fantastic.” – Sarah V., former patient at CFD Des Plains
“I loved that staff made all situations comfortable. I liked kitchen skills, living in your body and queer process group. I would definitely recommend CFD to a friend going through similar experiences.” – Bridget M., former patient at CFD Des Plains
