What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Operating across multiple clinic locations in Northwest Indiana, NorthShore Health Centers provides comprehensive outpatient care. Their integrated approach allows patients to seamlessly access primary care and behavioral health support under one roof, making it a highly accessible medical home for the entire community.
Therapies
Therapy at NorthShore Frontline Foundations consistently goes beyond traditional clinical counseling. Clinicians utilize specialized EMDR to treat underlying trauma and practice motivational interviewing to reshape negative thought patterns. They also incorporate unique experiential options like Music Recovery, Art Recovery, and Clean Cooking so clients can explore how nutrition and creativity impact healing.
Addictions
The substance abuse program specifically targets alcohol and opioid dependence. Developed in partnership with Frontline Foundations, the curriculum embraces a whole-patient approach. Clinicians utilize targeted MAT medications like Vivitrol alongside intensive counseling. This combined protocol tackles physical dependence and helps drastically reduce the frequency of heavy substance use.
Conditions
Care teams here address a range of mental health and co-occurring disorders within a broader primary care setting. Their integrated services routinely treat severe depression, anxiety, and sudden panic attacks. Prospective patients should reach out to the Chesterton clinic to consult with a provider about specific psychiatric diagnoses.
Issues
Recognizing that true healing encompasses daily lifestyle challenges, the behavioral health team helps clients manage chronic pain and pervasive sleep disorders alongside addiction recovery. Through their Family Matters Support initiative, the staff also assists loved ones struggling to navigate severe family conflict and parenting challenges.
Programs
The Frontline Foundations program incorporates specialty tracks like the Women's Support Group, which focuses heavily on trauma recovery and domestic violence education. Patients can also engage in a dedicated Co-Occurring Disorders Group that utilizes cognitive-behavioral principles to manage mental illness and substance use simultaneously.
On-site
Amenities
Practical conveniences like on-site parking simply support the accessible nature of these community health clinics. The physical environment is focused entirely on delivering comprehensive, under-one-roof outpatient care to local residents rather than luxury retreat amenities.
Coverage
Payment
Financial accessibility sits at the core of their mission. NorthShore ensures no patient is ever turned away due to an inability to pay. The intake team actively accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance. Uninsured individuals can also utilize a highly flexible, income-based sliding fee scale for all behavioral health services.
