What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The treatment continuum at the Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center spans from dedicated outpatient care to inpatient residential services. For immediate needs, individuals can access the Thota Rao, M.D., & Aruna Rau, M.D. Crisis Intervention Unit or receive after-hours emergency psychiatric support through the main medical emergency department.
Therapies
Eskenazi Health integrates supportive practices like palliative care seamlessly into their broader treatment models. Clinicians focus entirely on treating the whole person, ensuring standard medical interventions address physical, emotional, and spiritual health simultaneously.
Addictions
To support lasting behavioral change, the clinical teams provide specialized addiction psychiatry and dedicated addiction medicine services. Individuals seeking treatment for specific substance use disorders are encouraged to contact the hospital directly to discuss available options.
Conditions
Mental health support forms a large part of this safety-net provider's mission, with psychiatric crisis teams ready to assist those experiencing severe distress or suicidal ideation. Treating the mind is viewed as equally important as treating the body during medical emergencies and behavioral health interventions.
Issues
Because psychological wellness is so deeply tied to physical health, the medical staff actively treats the heavy emotional weight of chronic illness and sudden medical trauma. Specialized infectious disease clinics seamlessly provide integrated support for those navigating the daily complexities of HIV/AIDS alongside their psychological needs.
Programs
A deeply unique part of the healing experience here is the Robert & Gina Laikin Pet Therapy Program, which brings certified therapy dogs to comfort individuals navigating difficult days. Separately, the Center for Spiritual Care & Education guarantees 24/7 access to trained chaplains for anyone seeking guidance or emotional support.

Amenities
The downtown Indianapolis campus features calming, non-clinical spaces intended to provide peace during very stressful times, such as the Naphtali Isaac Eskenazi Sanctuary.
