About

For over 60 years, Ecker Center has been a cornerstone in the Elgin community, providing quality behavioral health care to those in need. Our goal is to break down barriers, minimize gaps in care, and empower those we serve throughout their recovery journey. We believe that behavioral healthcare should be accessible and affordable for everyone.  

We are committed to providing personalized and compassionate care to all individuals, regardless of their residency, insurance status, or financial capability. We provide a continuum of care for individuals that come to us for help, including crisis intervention & stabilization, psychiatric & mental health, substance use recovery, problem gambling, youth prevention & education services, and we continuously add programs that meet the evolving needs of our community.  

Ecker’s treatment programs are licensed by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, and accredited by The Joint Commission.
