What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Indiana Center for Recovery- Alcohol & Drug Rehab Center Merrillville is uniquely licensed for every level of addiction and mental health treatment in the state. Patients can transition from a medically supervised detox equipped with NAD+ IV therapy directly into residential inpatient care or step down into flexible PHP outpatient programs. This complete continuum ensures clients receive exactly the right intensity of support for their personal recovery stage.
Therapies
Treatment goes far beyond basic talk therapy by incorporating groundbreaking medical options like Spravato Ketamine Therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Clients also benefit from GeneSight testing, which matches psychiatric medications to their unique DNA to eliminate frustrating trial-and-error prescribing. For processing complex trauma, clinicians utilize EMDR alongside stabilizing practices like biofeedback and traditional CBT.
Addictions
The clinical team addresses a wide spectrum of substance use disorders, treating severe dependencies on alcohol, prescription opioids, and stimulants. Rather than just targeting the physical addiction, care here focuses heavily on uncovering root triggers like chronic stress or hidden pain. Medically assisted tapers and dedicated protocols are carefully designed to help individuals struggling with complex challenges like benzodiazepine or polysubstance use safely detox.
Conditions
Treating complex dual diagnosis cases is a primary focus for this Merrillville facility, especially when traditional therapies have previously failed. The clinical staff is highly equipped to help individuals managing treatment-resistant depression (TRD), severe anxiety, bipolar disorder, and profound trauma.

Beyond a primary diagnosis, the care team helps clients navigate the complex life stressors that often accompany behavioral health challenges. Targeted coaching supports individuals through relationship conflicts, deep-rooted grief, and the practical challenges of rebuilding a stable, healthy life.
