With multiple locations across Indiana and expanding to states like Iowa, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas, and Arizona, the organization employs a client-centered, strength-based model that integrates evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), group and individual psychotherapy, and medication-assisted treatment, alongside holistic approaches like yoga, nutritional guidance, and physical activity to treat the whole person.
Led by experts such as Chief Medical Officer Dr.
Tim Kelly and Chief Clinical Director Valerie Jones-Turner-Pearson, Hickory emphasizes compassionate, comprehensive care in safe, comfortable environments, empowering clients to overcome addiction, regain control of their lives, and achieve long-term recovery through personalized plans, relapse prevention, and aftercare support, accepting Medicaid and most insurances to make treatment accessible to those in need.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Recovery often begins in the 22-bed medical detox unit, where clients receive around-the-clock supervision to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. From there, individuals can transition into the 88-bed acute inpatient setting for comprehensive residential care. Hickory Treatment Centers also offers flexible intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programming to support a sustainable return to daily life.
Therapies
Clinicians draw heavily on a cognitive-behavioral framework, specifically utilizing CBT and DBT to help clients recognize and reshape destructive thought patterns. Treatment also integrates holistic practices to heal the physical toll of addiction and restore nervous system balance. For instance, their staff incorporates yoga and breathwork specifically to help naturally increase GABA neurotransmitter levels, which are often depleted by chronic stress and substance abuse.
Addictions
The clinical team at Hickory Treatment Centers treats a broad spectrum of substance use disorders, with specialized medical support for severe alcohol and opioid dependence. Because withdrawal from substances like fentanyl, heroin, and alcohol can be physically overwhelming, their medical staff carefully utilizes medication-assisted protocols. They also provide targeted interventions for methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription medication misuse.
Conditions
Operating a dedicated mental health unit, the psychiatric team addresses underlying struggles that often drive addiction. They actively treat co-occurring depression, trauma, generalized anxiety, and bipolar disorder alongside primary substance use. Uniquely, the hospital also features a specialized unit equipped to stabilize acute behavioral changes associated with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Issues
Beyond stabilizing the immediate addiction, counselors work with clients to navigate the complex life challenges that accompany chronic substance use. Therapy sessions often explore deeply rooted trauma, unresolved anger issues, and the need for stronger emotional regulation. Recognizing that addiction impacts the whole home, they also facilitate family counseling to rebuild trust and improve communication among loved ones.
Programs
The guiding philosophy here centers on a strength-based model that treats addiction as a complex but highly manageable medical condition. Program tracks are deeply trauma-informed, emphasizing emotional regulation, self-worth, and distress tolerance rather than just rigid abstinence. They also feature dedicated dual-diagnosis programming that provides lasting stability for individuals managing severe behavioral health needs alongside their recovery.
On-site
Amenities
Residents live in well-appointed suites designed to offer privacy and comfort, with each room featuring its own private bathroom and shower. Outside of scheduled therapy, individuals can utilize the complete on-site fitness center to rebuild physical strength. The landscaped grounds provide peaceful outdoor spaces for reflection, while an on-site chef prepares nutritious meals aimed at restoring physical health.
Coverage
Payment
The admissions team believes that high-quality treatment should be fully accessible, working diligently to verify benefits without any upfront commitment. They are highly integrated into local state health networks, proudly accepting traditional Medicaid alongside the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) and Hoosier Healthwise. For individuals seeking out-of-network care or added privacy, flexible private pay options are also available based on the length of stay.
Eligibility
Who We Serve
The Indianapolis campus is built to serve adult men and women over the age of 18 who are ready to break the cycle of dependency. Their client base ranges from young adults navigating their first treatment experience to seasoned individuals facing long-term chronic relapse. They also adapt their approach to effectively care for older adults and seniors who require specialized medical oversight during the recovery process.
Age Groups
Additional Services
A robust infrastructure of support surrounds the core clinical programming, beginning with comprehensive pre-authorization and insurance verification. Medical staff expertly provide customized medication management for those who need ongoing support fighting cravings.
