What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Treatment at Indiana Center for Recovery follows a seamless continuum, as they are the only provider in the state licensed for every level of care through Indiana’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction. Clients can step down safely from medically monitored detox and high-acuity psychiatric stabilization into residential inpatient care. From there, flexible outpatient programs, including PHP and intensive outpatient tracks, offer ongoing support.
Therapies
Indiana Center for Recovery stands out for its deep roster of innovative, medication-free, and advanced therapeutic options. Traditional stalwarts like CBT, DBT, and EMDR are heavily utilized for trauma and behavioral regulation. When standard treatments fall short, the facility offers breakthrough interventions like Spravato® Ketamine therapy, Biofeedback, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to help clients find lasting relief.
Addictions
Clinical teams here approach substance use by targeting the root issues that drugs and alcohol often mask. They provide specialized medical detox and recovery tracks for complex physical dependencies, including severe alcohol use disorder, opioids, and benzodiazepines. The Indianapolis facility also works deeply with individuals overcoming stimulant addictions like methamphetamine and cocaine.
Conditions
Mental health care is a primary focus, with specialized inpatient and outpatient tracks built for complex psychiatric needs. Clients facing treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety disorders, and PTSD have access to advanced care protocols that go far beyond standard talk therapy. The clinical staff is also highly experienced in treating mood disorders and borderline personality disorder.
Issues
Beyond surface-level symptoms, the clinical team actively unpacks the deeply rooted life stressors that hinder lasting wellness. Therapists help clients navigate complex relationship issues, codependency, and the heavy emotional weight of grief and loss. Trauma-informed care is woven into every level of the program to ensure clients can safely process painful events without being re-traumatized.
Programs
Recovery here is highly demographic-specific, featuring tailored tracks rather than a one-size-fits-all model. The adolescent program allows teenagers to heal in a safe environment while maintaining their schooling through educational partnerships. Additionally, their culturally responsive veterans track is fully PsychArmor® certified, delivering targeted trauma care that deeply understands military culture.
On-site
Amenities
The residential environment operates as a serene, non-institutional retreat designed to grant clients a true break from daily stressors. Between intensive therapy sessions, individuals can recharge with chef-prepared meals or relax in comfortable, private or semi-private accommodations. The Indianapolis campus also keeps clients engaged with high-end recreational features, from a basketball court and arcade games to an on-site hair salon.
Coverage
Payment
The admissions team believes financial barriers should never prevent someone from accessing life-saving care. They are proudly in-network with a wide variety of private health insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and UMR. Additionally, their team works actively with military and government benefits, eagerly accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE to keep out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.
