What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Resource Treatment Center provides a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health care tailored to young people. The core of their continuum is their psychiatric residential treatment program (PRTF) and general residential care, which offer highly structured, live-in support. As residents stabilize, they can step down to specialized group homes, allowing for a gradual, supported reintegration back into the community.
Therapies
Clinical care here is anchored by a distinct four-phase treatment model: Identify, Connect, Demonstrate, and Contribute. Within this framework, master's-level clinicians utilize trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), DBT, EMDR, and motivational interviewing. This evidence-based blend ensures that youth are not only learning to regulate their emotions but are actively practicing these new skills in a safe environment.
Addictions
Substance use at this facility is primarily treated as a co-occurring disorder alongside complex behavioral and mental health challenges. The clinical team helps adolescents and young adults overcome dependencies on alcohol, prescription drugs, and other illicit substances. Residents working through addiction can participate in 12-Step support groups, such as NA meetings, integrated directly into their residential care plan.
Conditions
The clinical staff at Resource Treatment Center is deeply experienced in managing severe behavioral and psychiatric diagnoses that disrupt a young person’s daily life. They routinely treat complex conditions like intermittent explosive disorder (IED), reactive attachment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and severe depression. They also maintain specialized capabilities for treating trauma-related conditions and disruptive mood dysregulation, ensuring personalized stabilization for every youth.
Issues
Therapists at the center address the profound life disruptions and deep-rooted traumas that fuel behavioral struggles. They work extensively with youth who have survived physical or sexual abuse, neglect, and severe childhood trauma. Beyond trauma, the staff heavily emphasizes resolving severe family conflict and building the independent living skills necessary to prevent future interactions with the juvenile justice system.
Programs
Resource Treatment Center is widely known for its highly specialized treatment tracks, most notably its Sexually Maladaptive Behaviors Program—housed in the Serenity and Inspire units—which is exclusively for adolescent males. Additionally, they operate distinct step-down group homes, including the Wind Rose Home for girls and the Polaris and Carina homes for boys. These specific tracks ensure that young people receive targeted interventions from appropriately credentialed clinicians.
On-site
Amenities
Located in a historic neighborhood just southeast of downtown Indianapolis, the secure campus is designed to keep youth engaged and academically on track. A major cornerstone of the facility is its fully accredited on-site school, aligned with the Indianapolis Public School System, which offers daily instruction and credit recovery. Residents also have access to a computer lab, a gym, and experiential spaces for student council and youth group ministry.
Coverage
Payment
The admissions team prioritizes making life-saving youth treatment accessible by walking families through the financial process. They accept Medicaid and partner with a wide variety of private health insurance providers to cover the cost of residential care. Staff members actively assist with insurance verification and preauthorization to ensure a seamless entry into treatment.
Eligibility
