About Avenues Recovery Center at Fort Wayne
Residential treatment can begin with detox if needed. Once individuals have safely gone through the withdrawal process, the structured residential elements can begin. Residents will participate in a range of treatments such as individual therapy, interactive groups and classes, and recovery-focused activities. Avenues focuses on a holistic approach to treatment and offers many modalities to be able to best serve each client. This includes customized individual therapy, family and group counseling, access to 12-step meetings as well as alternative therapies such as art, music, yoga, mediation and nature therapies.
Their facility offers spacious, contemporary accommodations, an on-site fully equipped gym and rec rooms and gourmet meals.
Their outpatient program offers flexible treatment for those who prefer to live at home. They have access to all the same treatments but can remain in their environments to continue with personal home, school or work responsibilities.
The aftercare program at Avenues is a combination of a social club and a support network rolled into one. The alumni program includes fun outings, counselor check-ins, weekly groups, and a private Facebook page. Clients can also access sober living apartments to help clients continue to get structure and support as they transition back into the community.

This has been my first time in organized recovery and I must say. It has been an absolute delight. The staff is amazing and really work with you on a different level. Foods great and the beds are comfy. I finally see the light diminish on my addiction I have the tools to define my journey
came to Fort Wayne Avenues utterly lost and fundamentally broken. The journey from Indianapolis was the final, agonizing stretch that delivered me to my absolute rock bottom.
The moment I truly needed help, I received it. I remember that phone call in the middle of the night—a promise kept, followed by the immediate, compassionate arrangement of a ride. Standing there in the rain, awaiting an unknown fate, I was filled with dread, yet something shifted upon arrival.
I was instantly greeted not just by staff, but by warm smiles and palpable high vibrations. The entire team was immediately welcoming and understanding. I won't lie; there were many times I considered walking away. But I stayed because of the extraordinary intervention of some of the best staff members I have ever had the privilege of knowing. For the first time, I felt genuinely heard and understood. It was a powerful realization that so many of you were in long-term recovery yourselves, carrying years of clean time and wisdom under your belts.
Thank you, from the deepest part of my heart, for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself, and for giving me the tools I needed to finally tame my beast.
I am walking away from Avenues feeling confident and determined. I know I can do this. I am now confidently charting my course toward the beautiful, fulfilling life I truly deserve.
With endless gratitude, Thank you, Avenues.
This was a much better experience than I could ever have anticipated. The staff was very understanding and helpful. They have an alumni program that keeps you connected and informed with meeting and outings and check up on you periodically to make sure you're still doing well. They embrace you with open arms and there's zero judgement. If you're considering a place for treatment or to heal, I highly recommend Avenues.

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
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 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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
