Aspire Indiana Health – Next Step - Indianapolis, IN

About the Facility

Next Step is a transitional housing program for residents of Progress House who have progressed far enough in their recovery to move to semi-independent living apartments or homes, while still receiving treatment on an outpatient basis, attending peer support meetings, etc.

It isn’t about where your recovery journey begins, but where you’re going.

Aspire Indiana Health approaches the treatment of substance use disorder with a philosophy of support, not stigma.

Aspire and Progress House have joined forces to offer an evolution of addiction treatment, which we refer to as the Whole Health Recovery Continuum (WHRC).

Instead of scattering the pieces to the recovery puzzle and expecting people to find them, the WHRC brings everything needed for a highly-effective recovery program, including a stable, safe place to live.

In this continuum of care, there is no right or wrong place to enter treatment. Some may begin their recovery journey at a high-intensity treatment center, like our Mockingbird Hill Recovery Center in Anderson.

Others might go straight to a recovery residence like Progress House in Indianapolis, where they can enjoy peer support while gaining the skills and stability they need to reclaim their lives and then onto the Next Steps housing program, a network of semi-independent recovery homes.

Some people may able to receive addiction treatment strictly on an outpatient basis at one of our Central Indiana clinics.

Wherever they enter the continuum, they’ll receive the comprehensive help they need. Primary medical care. Behavioral health therapy. Peer support groups, including 12 Step Recovery Programming. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Individual case management. Education and job training. And more services — all in one seamless continuum.

For some people, they may naturally progress from a high-intensity treatment facility through a recovery residence to semi-independent recovery housing. Others might start and leave from the same point in the continuum. It all depends on the nature of their individual needs to chart the path their recovery journey will take.

But the goal is the same for everyone: to reach a stage of long-term recovery where the disease of substance use disorder (SUD) is no longer controlling their lives.

Treatment

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

In Indiana, mental health and substance abuse treatment utilizes evidence-based and holistic therapeutic interventions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps you to identify and modify harmful thought patterns and behaviors, motivational interviewing encourages your desire and commitment to change, group therapy provides a supportive community, and family therapy helps you to improve relationships and develop important post-treatment support. These critical components are the key to long-term recovery.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
