What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The treatment continuum here ranges from acute crisis intervention to ongoing outpatient care. Their Kendallville location provides community-based outpatient services and specialized intensive outpatient programs, while also coordinating directly with the organization's residential homes and hospital inpatient services across the region.
Therapies
Instead of simply listing standardized modalities, the clinical team adopts a systematic and highly strength-based approach to long-term psychotherapy. Clients engage in individual, group, and family therapy sessions designed to help them identify personal triggers, build daily coping skills, and confidently manage their behavioral health needs.
Addictions
Care teams evaluate and treat a variety of substance use disorders, leading with specialized intensive outpatient tracks for chemical dependency. When acute stabilization is required, their inpatient hospital provides safe detoxification protocols for alcohol, opioids, and central nervous system depressants like benzodiazepines and barbiturates.
Conditions
Northeastern Center helps clients achieve genuine emotional and mental wholeness by addressing everyday stressors alongside serious mental illnesses. The clinical team works extensively with depression, profound systemic anxiety, and traumatic stress, utilizing a structured therapeutic approach to help individuals confront and manage their symptoms effectively.
Issues
Clinical care coordinators understand that behavioral health is often deeply intertwined with broader, practical life challenges. Clients can find dedicated professional support for navigating post-divorce recovery, processing complex grief and loss, and resolving deep-rooted family or interpersonal conflicts.
Programs
Distinctly unique to this community is the New Hope Clubhouse, a voluntary, work-ordered day program where adults with mental illness can regain confidence through shared tasks. Additionally, their School Assistance Program provides two free counseling sessions to local students and staff, while the Wraparound program delivers highly individualized support for families.
On-site
