Francis Center for court-ordered youths aged 12-18, and specialized addiction recovery programs featuring medical detoxification, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and long-term recovery support.

What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The behavioral health clinical team offers a robust continuum of structured outpatient services. Patients can access partial-day intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that provide more frequent group therapy than standard weekly visits. For those transitioning from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, the partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers a highly supportive daytime environment.
Therapies
Treatment within the Franciscan Health system is driven by evidence-based clinical modalities tailored to each person's unique diagnosis. Therapists utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, while employing the Matrix Model specifically for substance use disorders.
Addictions
Breaking free from chemical dependency is supported through comprehensive medical interventions and dedicated counseling. The clinical team provides medical detoxification to safely manage biological withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is available to help normalize brain chemistry and ease severe cravings during early opioid recovery.
Conditions
Clinicians at Franciscan Health Outpatient Rehabilitation Chesterton treat a wide spectrum of complex psychiatric and psychological disorders. Care is readily available for individuals managing mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), severe anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Issues
Beyond primary clinical diagnoses, counselors at Franciscan Health help patients navigate profound life stressors that actively disrupt daily functioning. Therapeutic support addresses complex family conflicts, debilitating grief, overwhelming career pressures, and the emotional aftermath of singular traumatic events.
