ABOUT COUNTERMEASURES INC.
Countermeasures Inc. is a reputable organization located in downtown Bloomington, Ill. We specialize in providing substance abuse assessments, DUI courses, and outpatient counseling services for individuals facing substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Furthermore, we offer specialized services to cater to various disorders, including anger management and legal services.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At Countermeasures Inc., the treatment process commences with an assessment to determine the most suitable type of treatment for each client. These assessments effectively diagnose the presence of substance abuse and co-occurring disorders and subsequently develop individualized treatment plans. The assessments are completed on a scheduled basis, and our website boasts rapid appointment scheduling, with most clients able to secure an appointment within a week of initial contact.
Our licensed and trained staff members, who possess expertise in various areas, conduct the assessments. These counseling professionals collect data from in-person interviews as well as other relevant sources to corroborate client information. Subsequently, a comprehensive report is developed, which serves as a basis for determining the most appropriate treatment method for each client. These reports may also be utilized during legal proceedings when necessary.
Clients are enrolled in educational courses that empower them to identify and modify problem behaviors through a deeper understanding of such behaviors. We offer classes for a wide range of disorders, such as addiction, DUI-related incidents, and anger management. Our classes are available six days a week and four nights a week, including morning, afternoon, and evening options on both weekdays and weekends.
Additionally, we provide a 12-week anger management program that serves as an alternative to traditional domestic violence treatment. It is important to note that this program is not specifically designed for domestic violence issues. Primarily conducted through group discussions, this program explores topics such as anger’s purpose and function, self-awareness, stress management, forgiveness, and blame.
While limited information is available regarding our facility’s treatment methods beyond the classes and assessments, we do offer aftercare planning and relapse prevention services. Although it may safely be assumed that these services are combined with our classes and assessments, our website does not explicitly confirm this.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
One alumni was surveyed by Best-rehabs.com, and the feedback was mixed. The reviewer expressed disappointment with Countermeasures, giving the facility a two-star rating for overall effectiveness and three stars for staff support and holistic treatment options.
Despite the lower ratings, the alum would still recommend our center to friends and family, describing it as a “decent facility”.
With regard to Google reviews, Countermeasures Inc. currently holds an average rating of 2.5 stars from four reviews. Two reviewers who provided commentary alongside their reviews made allegations of manipulative administrative practices. For instance, alum Jason claimed that it was difficult to retrieve paperwork and accused the facility of requiring additional anger management sessions to generate more profits, despite this being unrelated to their DUI issue. Similarly, alum Drew accused the facility of spreading misinformation about substances and relying on clients to come up with discussion topics, resulting in some classes being unhelpful. However, alum Alycia had a positive experience at the facility, praising the counselors, meetings, and pricing.

Countermeasures Inc.’s website does not provide specific information about the cost of treatments. However, each of our three facilities has contact information available, allowing clients to request detailed insurance and cost information from each facility.
