What we treat

Treatment & Programs

Levels of Care

INcompass Healthcare provides a comprehensive continuum of support, ranging from walk-in Same Day Access assessments to acute residential stays. Their 16-bed inpatient unit delivers intensive stabilization for active crises. Focus House and Unity House act as integrated step-down environments, while community-based outpatient services maintain long-term recovery.

Inpatient (Residential)

Therapies

Clinicians utilize a mix of cognitive-behavioral frameworks and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build targeted life skills. Therapy incorporates a strong harm-reduction philosophy alongside individual counseling, group sessions, and activity therapy. Medical staff also regularly oversee medication management to treat the mind and physical body together.

Addictions

The clinical team addresses a variety of substance use challenges, including alcohol and benzodiazepine use disorders that require inpatient stabilization. They also provide specialized programming for problem gambling with dedicated outpatient services in the region. Treatment involves random drug screenings to promote accountability, and pregnant women seeking help for addiction receive priority assistance.

Conditions

Treatment focuses heavily on serious mental illnesses and dual diagnosis needs. The acute inpatient setting supports adults experiencing severe depression, psychosis, or active suicidal thoughts. Outpatient and residential teams consistently help clients improve emotional regulation and symptom management during severe distress.

Issues

Beyond clinical diagnoses, the organization actively addresses complex life stressors such as housing insecurity and chronic unemployment. They maintain over a hundred housing units for individuals facing homelessness. Family conflict and legal challenges are also tackled through intensive family interventions and dedicated court-ordered assessments.

Programs

Several distinct specialty tracks guide care here, including a dedicated Problem Gambling program and a Sexual Offender Management track. The Focus House program operates on a step-down model, equipping residents with community-based, harm-reduction strategies to build independence. Youth can also participate in FIRE, a dedicated peer empowerment and advocacy initiative.

On-site

Amenities

The Focus House site features three two-bedroom apartments designed to promote autonomy in a structured sober living environment. Additionally, the main campus in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, operates a 24/7 Crisis Care Center.
