Medical Wellness Center
Named one of America’s Best Treatment Centers for 4 consecutive years (2021–2024), Indiana Center for Recovery in Merrillville delivers compassionate, innovative outpatient care. Their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) bridges the gap between residential and traditional low-level outpatient treatment by offering structured, evidence-based therapies while allowing clients to return home each evening. Upon arrival, clients are warmly welcomed with a facility tour, check-in by a behavioral health technician, and introductions to their care team. Treatment begins with a personalized plan that tackles the root causes of addiction through individual counseling, group therapy, and skill-building workshops.
The center offers tailored care to meet each client’s unique needs. Their dual-diagnosis program addresses both substance use and mental health conditions, while stand-alone services focus on either addiction or mental health. Comprehensive options include evidence-based therapies, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and medication management. IOP typically lasts 4–6 weeks, with detox lasting 1–2 weeks if needed. This holistic approach treats substance use and co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, ensuring a dual-diagnosis focus that promotes both mental and physical recovery.
Family involvement is a cornerstone of the program, with therapy sessions and resources designed to empower loved ones to actively support the recovery process. These services strengthen communication and relationships, fostering a supportive environment for lasting success.
Veterans receive specialized care tailored to their unique needs, including GeneSight genetic testing to optimize medication effectiveness and minimize side effects. Combined with personalized counseling, therapy, and skill-building workshops, this evidence-based approach ensures lasting recovery and improved mental health.
