Journey Road Addiction Treatment Centers is an integrated healthcare organization providing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder since 2015, with a mission to offer whole-person health care for individuals in underserved areas and populations to enhance their ability to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
Specializing in evidence-based approaches, Journey Road utilizes innovative MAT options such as buprenorphine (including Suboxone, Zubsolv, or Bunavail) and injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol) to reduce cravings and manage withdrawal, combined with mandatory counseling using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and other therapies to address emotional and mental aspects of addiction.
Their comprehensive treatment plan also includes urine drug screens for safety and family therapy to support long-term recovery, defining recovery as stopping substance use, coping with emotions, and redirecting efforts toward personal and family improvement.
Led by experienced professionals like Medical Director Dr.
Joseph Koenigsmark and CEO Mari Anna Shepherd, Journey Road operates three clinics in Indianapolis to increase access, combat stigma, and promote holistic recovery for those struggling with heroin, oxycodone, and other opioids, guided by values of Recovery, Opportunity, Advocacy, and Discovery.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
At Journey Road Treatment Center - South, the focus is squarely on outpatient medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence. Their programming is built around a specific three-step treatment plan: physician-led medication strategies, regular urine toxicology testing, and mandatory clinical counseling to guide clients forward.
Therapies
The cornerstone of care at Journey Road Treatment Center - South involves medication-assisted treatment using buprenorphine products like Suboxone, Zubsolv, and Bunavail, alongside monthly Vivitrol injections. Because medication is most effective when paired with emotional support, these interventions are combined with mandatory counseling that relies heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing.
Addictions

Conditions
The clinicians focus entirely on Opioid Use Disorder, treating it as a complex condition that alters brain chemistry rather than a simple lack of willpower. By addressing the deep psychological dependence that accompanies this disorder, the team helps clients process the overwhelming emotional distress tied to their diagnosis.
