I am feeling very emotional today deeply missing this location and the staff who used to work here at 1700. I got very lucky in some aspects of being a client here with a great team. AA Dual diagnosis group leader (Brian), LGBTQIA+ group leader (Miss Schaefer), a great care coordinator (Kaiden) and my first therapist (Justin) was great! Also, my therapist Jailyn was awesome as well! These days, this location is just not the same and I’m feeling very lucky to have been apart of this location as a client back in the golden days with certain staff on board! I’m sorry to say, but now this location is just simply not efficient or effective anymore in my opinion due to this location taking on way too many clients. I was very excited to have my very first therapy session with my brand new therapist only to find out that she was double booked; being double booked as a staff member here is kind of the norm now and the clients suffer gravely for it. A couple of years ago, I would constantly hear, “sorry! Our one hour session today is 15 minutes because I’ve been double booked all day…” I sincerely miss being at this location mostly because of the people I met. Clients would constantly gravitate towards me inside and outside and they would talk to me, open up to me, tell me their problems, ask for advice, we would listen to music together… etc. I really miss AA dual diagnosis group and I deeply miss the good old days of the LGBTQIA+ group with Miss Schaefer leading; I am afraid to say that the new girl leading the LGBTQIA+ group just is not cutting it and I really don’t think that this new girl even likes me or cares for me that much because she has ignored me a few times and tends to favor other people over me. This location really needs a class on healing and meditation and this place desperately needs a department filled with knowledgeable staff helping clients detox off their meds (safely) if and when the client has been misdiagnosed and put on medication for literally no reason all because the client was misunderstood and pushed through the system way to quickly… which happens all of the time. I hope that I have better luck with you all 1700 here in the spring and summer time and I’d really like to see a thriving LGBTQIA+ group again as opposed to the empty room like it is now. I really miss being there 1700, but I have so much sadness and pain and trauma when dealing with the black haired security officer there and Dr. Salama. So quick to medicate me and handcuff me and lock me away. So sad and shameful. I would do a fantastic job leading a class on healing and meditation and music therapy and I know for a fact that so many clients would benefit and be extremely grateful and even feel better! As opposed to just being told they need shots and pills without even truly getting to know the person and their history and story. This place needs incense, singing bowls, crystals, healing music/frequencies, books, journals and healers… not people who just blindly follow orders and are trained to be just like everyone else. I feel like common sense, gut instincts, intuition and spiritual knowledge/open mindedness is lacking in not just this location, but all mental health locations. The most help I’ve ever gotten from the mental health industry was when a man named Matt had me watch The Secret inside of Options. That is sad and scary. This industry cannot continue to go on like this; something must change soon. I miss the good old days of 1700…not what it is now. Please stop double booking your poor and hardworking staff members; it’s not fair to treat staff and clients with such disrespect.

One star is too many. My life and body and reputation has literally been destroyed due to this location. I was forced fed DEPAKOTE for over five years against my will and now, I’m dealing with permanent damage from the medication. I was also forced the shots in my arms (Invega) with literally everyone knowing I did not want the shots! Literally nobody cared! I got kicked out of my gorgeous home due to DEPAKOTE and it’s horrific side effects, I lost my business of 15 years, lost my hair, function of penis, got handcuffed by the 1700 police multiple times and they even fractured my right wrist by angrily putting the handcuffs on waaaay too tight! Got locked away against my will over ten times and am now dealing with horrific and severe constant pain in my jaw and gums and teeth and it’s even going into my eyes and ear. DEPAKOTE destroyed my jawbone tissue and now I can’t even eat an apple due to my extremely loose teeth and no bone in my jaw! I literally begged and even cried to my doctor for years begging to please be taken off of DEPAKOTE and I told this doctor all of my horrific and god awful side effects I was having and she literally did not care! Just ignored me and even lied to me by telling me that I was “finally off of DEPAKOTE”. Went to reception and they gave me my paperwork and there it was! Another refill for DEPAKOTE! I have been through pure hell due to this location and staff and I am now stuck with literally no friends, terrible reputation, no home, not enough income to survive and or do anything fun, permanent bodily damage…etc. I wrote a letter to this location saying sorry for going live on Facebook while in this location…and I’m still not welcome back to their AA dual diagnosis group! What I didn’t say in my apology letter was that I only went live on Facebook because I was all messed up on DEPAKOTE! Of which I was literally forced fed against my will! I have literally worked my butt off trying to reconnect with friends and places of employment, but they all have me written off as literally nuts and a terrible and horrible/angry person. Now, I cannot get my dream job working at a recording studio because I emailed and called the owners of this specific recording studio saying super insane and very mean things all messed up once again on medication. Being constantly handcuffed and harassed by the police for five years straight and locked away in mental hospitals while screaming your lungs out and crying your eyes out was a great time! I’m in constant severe agonizing pain now literally every single day with permanent damage from DEPAKOTE. I now have to write everything down because Invega literally destroyed my brain and cognitive behaviors. I used to be able to solve the Rubik’s cube in two minutes before being forced fed Invega and DEPAKOTE, but now…I just sit and cry holding my Rubik’s cube. Being kicked out of my home after working for years to move in was extremely traumatic and the owners of the building (Lucille Raines) won’t even talk to me now! I’m not exaggerating at all when I say that my life and body and future and reputation is literally now destroyed all due to literally nobody listening to me when I begged everyone to please stop forcing me DEPAKOTE and Invega! My doctor (Dr. Salama) should be ashamed of herself for not properly caring for me and for lying to me face to face in her office. I was so not myself at all on my meds, I even got put on the FBI’s watchlist and the FBI called my parents and my parents were scared to death of being raided by the FBI. Sad thing is, I still to this day have literally no idea what I did and or said to get put on the FBI’s watchlist due to me being in yet another psychosis. A DEPAKOTE induced psychosis. I deeply miss this place, but I have so much pain and trauma due to this location and the black haired security officer and Dr. Salama. I would love to work at 1700 offering healing and meditation services as well as music therapy, but I know that will never happen because I’m not “properly trained”. I could make a major and true difference.

I have been having some health issues not mental health issues though. A worker that I had at Horizon House took me to this place on August 26, 2025. Which honestly I thought that I was going to see someone about finally seeing someone about my physical health . Cause there isn’t anything wrong with my mental health at all. If I had been thinking clearly (which I haven’t because of my physical health) then I never would’ve went here. Saw a Leanna L, LSW. Big mistake. She did nothing but lie which I found out after the appointment by getting on the portal for eskenazi. I wish that I could give this place negative infinity stars cause that’s what it deserves. Because of what happened I quit Horizon House and I quit even trying to find someone good in the medical field for my physical health issues.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center – Dr. James J. Wright Building works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

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

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient rehab provides intensive, round-the-clock care and is designed primarily for clients who have just completed detox, those in early recovery, and those at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment typically includes extensive psychotherapy that draws on various modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Clients also learn the recovery-focused life skills needed to promote sustained recovery. Many inpatient drug rehabs also offer evidence-based holistic therapies like meditation, yoga, massage, and experiential therapy.

Persons who require high-level support but who do not wish to leave their homes or communities may enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Clients typically commit to a minimum of nine treatment hours across three therapeutic sessions per week, but many programs offer up to 20 hours of care weekly. Most intensive outpatient rehabs provide a combination of psychotherapy, recovery education, and holistic care. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is widely available for those in alcohol or opioid recovery.

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.

The number one rule of a sober living home in Indiana is that residents cannot use or bring alcohol or drugs into the home. Breaking this rule typically results in eviction. In addition to this rule, men's and women's sober living homes have other standards that residents must meet. These usually include maintaining a job, helping with meal preparation and house cleaning, and attending 12-step meetings.

When families plan a drug intervention in Indiana, the goal is to create self-awareness in their loved one, so they acknowledge the need for treatment and get help. A professional interventionist can work with the individual's family members to organize this intervention and provide direction for follow-up. During the intervention, loved ones share how the individual's substance abuse has affected them, and the interventionist adds a clinical perspective on how treatment can help the situation.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) can provide intensive rehab on a short-term basis. While PHP treatment typically requires a commute, telehealth may be available. PHP treatment costs can vary but are often covered by most insurance. The program duration can vary to meet your specific needs and require you to meet for a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. PHP Treatment services often include relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group counseling, and other behavioral therapy interventions.

When removing addictive substances from your body under the care of licensed medical professionals, the process is called medically assisted detox. Once you've become physically dependent on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, quitting can be uncomfortable or even dangerous. To minimize risks to your health and overall discomfort, a team of medical professionals monitors you 24/7 and provides medications if necessary (like Suboxone or methadone) to ease potential symptoms of withdrawal.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

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.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Life skills include cognitive skills, interpersonal skills, and personal skills that help you manage daily living. Cultivating these skills during rehab in Indiana is an important part of recovery. With these skills, you'll be able to navigate challenges and prevent relapse.

To function properly, your body must have nutritional balance. Addiction throws off this balance by depleting your body of essential nutrients. Nutrition therapy aims to restore this balance by providing a healthy diet that supports healing and long term sobriety.

I am feeling very emotional today deeply missing this location and the staff who used to work here at 1700. I got very lucky in some aspects of being a client here with a great team. AA Dual diagnosis group leader (Brian), LGBTQIA+ group leader (Miss Schaefer), a great care coordinator (Kaiden) and my first therapist (Justin) was great! Also, my therapist Jailyn was awesome as well! These days, this location is just not the same and I’m feeling very lucky to have been apart of this location as a client back in the golden days with certain staff on board! I’m sorry to say, but now this location is just simply not efficient or effective anymore in my opinion due to this location taking on way too many clients. I was very excited to have my very first therapy session with my brand new therapist only to find out that she was double booked; being double booked as a staff member here is kind of the norm now and the clients suffer gravely for it. A couple of years ago, I would constantly hear, “sorry! Our one hour session today is 15 minutes because I’ve been double booked all day…” I sincerely miss being at this location mostly because of the people I met. Clients would constantly gravitate towards me inside and outside and they would talk to me, open up to me, tell me their problems, ask for advice, we would listen to music together… etc. I really miss AA dual diagnosis group and I deeply miss the good old days of the LGBTQIA+ group with Miss Schaefer leading; I am afraid to say that the new girl leading the LGBTQIA+ group just is not cutting it and I really don’t think that this new girl even likes me or cares for me that much because she has ignored me a few times and tends to favor other people over me. This location really needs a class on healing and meditation and this place desperately needs a department filled with knowledgeable staff helping clients detox off their meds (safely) if and when the client has been misdiagnosed and put on medication for literally no reason all because the client was misunderstood and pushed through the system way to quickly… which happens all of the time. I hope that I have better luck with you all 1700 here in the spring and summer time and I’d really like to see a thriving LGBTQIA+ group again as opposed to the empty room like it is now. I really miss being there 1700, but I have so much sadness and pain and trauma when dealing with the black haired security officer there and Dr. Salama. So quick to medicate me and handcuff me and lock me away. So sad and shameful. I would do a fantastic job leading a class on healing and meditation and music therapy and I know for a fact that so many clients would benefit and be extremely grateful and even feel better! As opposed to just being told they need shots and pills without even truly getting to know the person and their history and story. This place needs incense, singing bowls, crystals, healing music/frequencies, books, journals and healers… not people who just blindly follow orders and are trained to be just like everyone else. I feel like common sense, gut instincts, intuition and spiritual knowledge/open mindedness is lacking in not just this location, but all mental health locations. The most help I’ve ever gotten from the mental health industry was when a man named Matt had me watch The Secret inside of Options. That is sad and scary. This industry cannot continue to go on like this; something must change soon. I miss the good old days of 1700…not what it is now. Please stop double booking your poor and hardworking staff members; it’s not fair to treat staff and clients with such disrespect.

One star is too many. My life and body and reputation has literally been destroyed due to this location. I was forced fed DEPAKOTE for over five years against my will and now, I’m dealing with permanent damage from the medication. I was also forced the shots in my arms (Invega) with literally everyone knowing I did not want the shots! Literally nobody cared! I got kicked out of my gorgeous home due to DEPAKOTE and it’s horrific side effects, I lost my business of 15 years, lost my hair, function of penis, got handcuffed by the 1700 police multiple times and they even fractured my right wrist by angrily putting the handcuffs on waaaay too tight! Got locked away against my will over ten times and am now dealing with horrific and severe constant pain in my jaw and gums and teeth and it’s even going into my eyes and ear. DEPAKOTE destroyed my jawbone tissue and now I can’t even eat an apple due to my extremely loose teeth and no bone in my jaw! I literally begged and even cried to my doctor for years begging to please be taken off of DEPAKOTE and I told this doctor all of my horrific and god awful side effects I was having and she literally did not care! Just ignored me and even lied to me by telling me that I was “finally off of DEPAKOTE”. Went to reception and they gave me my paperwork and there it was! Another refill for DEPAKOTE!
