Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs foster participants' long-term sobriety through personal growth rooted in spiritual principles, though religious affiliation is not mandatory. Most 12 step meetings are non-denominational but are based on the belief in a higher power. Participants learn to understand and address the causes of their addiction, accept responsibility for their choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Regular group meetings and mentoring by a self-selected sponsor are required.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program have completed inpatient care and may also be preparing to exit formal outpatient care. Outpatient services are typically categorized as rehab aftercare, but these services often continue beyond the cessation of formal treatment. Rehab aftercare services are designed to promote life-long recovery through comprehensive, wraparound care, which may include medical, mental health, and social services. These programs are usually created in collaboration with the client's case manager and care team.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

If a person has alcohol use disorder (AUD), also referred to as alcoholism, they experience a desire or physical need to consume alcohol. A person with AUD may try to stop drinking but they are unsuccessful without professional help. Alcohol rehab in Indiana can provide the resources necessary to achieve and maintain recovery. Rehab programs typically involve a combination of medical, behavioral, and social supports to overcome alcohol addiction.

For long-term recovery from drug addiction, drug rehab in Indiana is often key. This treatment gives individuals who are struggling with a substance use disorder the tools to manage their disorder and achieve long-term sobriety.

In Indiana, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs address the unique needs of individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Care levels include outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and process groups address the co-occurring mental health disorders while achieving sobriety and promoting overall well-being. You'll also learn coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and tools to enhance your relationships - all critical skills for long-term recovery.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

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.

Qualified therapists in Indiana use a customized treatment approach for individual therapy to address your drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This considers your past history and life circumstances to help you uncover the underlying issues that trigger addictive behavior and manage these factors to support a healthy approach to recovery.

During trauma therapy in Indiana, your therapist helps you process traumatic experiences and learn how they affect your emotional, mental, and physical responses. You learn effective coping strategies that help to reduce the symptoms and improve your mental health and well being.

The goal of family therapy in Indiana is to empower family members to effectively support their loved one's recovery. Therapists work with family members to develop the skills needed to manage stress and resolve conflicts successfully. This fosters a positive environment that is conducive to long term sobriety.

When you participate in cognitive behavioral therapy in Indiana, you'll learn to recognize distorted thinking that has led to substance use. Your therapist will help you establish new patterns of thinking and healthy ways to cope with challenges that don't involve substance use.

Individual dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) takes place in weekly, 60 minute sessions. You'll have homework to do, such as keeping a diary to track your emotions and actions. You'll also attend group sessions, which are intended to be skills practicing sessions. DBT in Indiana typically lasts six months to a year.

Motivational interviewing aims to stimulate the client's personal motivation and commitment to change. Rather than receive advice and warnings from the therapist, the client is given the opportunity to share their concerns and reach their own conclusions.

This has been my 3rd time here at avenues and this is my first review.. Overall I had some good experiences along with some not so good experiences, but even though there were some staff I found unhelpful and and things I didn't agree with, I can honestly say in the end I feel it really did save my life. Throughtout my time here, the good and the bad, Lee, my therapist was there supporting me. He's great at what he does and like many of the staff here, he's in recovery himself. He helped me immensely in my sobriety and overall recovery. If you're thinking about taking this first step and want help to do it, this is a good place for that.

I had a vague idea of what to expect after my friend talked to and finished convincing me to come here. But what I've experienced is so much more than that. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming, and most importantly, well versed and educated in their individual fields. They provided the structure someone needs to be able to handle getting back out in the world. As well as providing the mental and physical medical help needed to recover from your addiction. I strongly recommend it if you're searching for help with your recovery.

John, thank you for the heartfelt review! It was a privilege to walk with you on your recovery journey. We hope you keep in touch—you’ll always be part of the Avenues family.

My name is Randal and I'm known as Rambo to my fellow alumni. Avenues treatment center was the best thing I ever did for my life. The staff is respectful and truly caring and go above and beyond to cater to our needs. Not to mention that many of the staff are former addicts themselves so they know exactly what you're going through because they themselves have been through just as similar traumas and trials. Once you're done with treatment they have an alumni program which is enormous! It keeps you in touch with people you may have bonded with at the center and also prepares you for living a sober lifestyle and keeps you with like minded people. We do fun events and are they for one another no matter what day or night and hold each other accountable but also keep each other having fun and safe. I can't explain how grateful I am for this program and especially for the people. So if you're struggling with addiction I pray that you come and find the help that you need from this date place and join our alumni cuz just because you're done with treatment avenues doesn't just kick you to the streets and forget about you. They truly care and are always there for you because they are definitely there for me and many of my friends. I would recommend this place as the best recovery center I've ever been to and it stuck. Check them out!

Hi Randal, thank you so much for this beautiful review! We are so happy to hear about your successful stay at our Fort Wayne facility. We wish you all the best on your continued recovery journey and hope you stay in touch, please!

My time at Avenues was nothing short of amazing. From the time I walked through the doors I was greeted with a smile. My facilitators, therapist, case manager, and medical providers went above and beyond to help me fight an ugly disease. Travis and Kelsey really changed my life through their words and encouragement throughout my time at Aveneues and I can’t thank them enough! I would definitely recommend Avenues to anyone looking for sobriety!
