Fairbanks is a place completely full of lies, they don't have any kind of experience or knowledge of how to treat patients in delicate conditions as I was, they have a lot to improve.
About Community Fairbanks Recovery Center
Community Fairbanks Recovery Center is a nonprofit addiction recovery center located in Indianapolis, Indiana. They provide confidential and individualized alcohol and drug treatment programming for men, women, adolescents, and their families. Their services are also available to seniors seeking help. Available offerings include medication assisted treatment, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization and general outpatient programs, and aftercare support. Specialized services are available for clients with co-occurring addictions and mental health disorders.
Their medication services help clients safely detox from opioids, alcohol, and other drugs under medical supervision. As they monitor client progress, providers may administer FDA-approved addiction medications to control pain, minimize cravings, and reduce the risk of relapse. Following a successful detox, clients can begin transitioning into other levels of care, including inpatient treatment.
The inpatient program is provided through the Behavioral Health Pavilion. Their facility has 122 beds spread out in nine different units. Mood disorders, serious mental illness, and acute psychiatric conditions are each treated in their own designated unit designed to focus on the needs of the presenting mental health challenge. A psychiatrist who leads a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health practitioners will be involved in the treatment process. The team works together to coordinate a plan for you that involves individual, group, or family therapy. Therapeutic groups that focus on developing stress management and problem solving skills, self management and education on co-occurring conditions will be implemented.
Their day program is an alternative or a follow up to inpatient services. The program provides routine therapy throughout the week. It allows participants to continue to go to work and support outside needs, such as family, while also receiving treatment. Group therapy, psychiatric treatment, and medication management are a part of the treatment. Classes focus on life skills, stress management, communication, and assertiveness. This program is scheduled to run three to six hours a day, three to five days per week. Day and evening options are available.
Outpatient services are available for those who do not need a highly structured environment while receiving treatment. This program offers individual, group, and family therapy for issues such as depression, anxiety, stress or anger management, substance abuse, or gambling addiction. Specialized outpatient services are available for those with serious mental illness. The care focuses on medication education and management, daily living activities, clinical case management, and individual and group therapy.
Aftercare support may include referrals and client linkages to other health services throughout the hospital. Providers may also connect clients to local, outside resources that can support their long-term recovery through services such as vocational training, transitional housing, peer recovery groups, transportation, and other resources.
Community Fairbanks Recovery Center may be in-network with most commercial insurance plans. Speak with your individual provider to confirm your coverage as out of network benefits may vary.

Lindsey Garrod Stated I signed up for residential treatment and that I had a surgery coming up on the 13th which is false, I received no copy of anything i signed on a digital pad and not once did they flip the screen around to show me what I was told I was signing.I stated that I had an issue with the neighbors tree falling on my roof and I needed to fly out for a vacation on the 13th. Please note the complete nursing staff was exceptionally professional and very knowledgeable about what they do. I did not like the kiddy snacks they provided they definitely could improve on catering to adults who need to eat healthy. But my main complaint is with Lindsey Garrod who wrote what she pleased and not what I said.
I had to schedule this appointment in advance, meaning it was not same day. During that time, had I known that I would just be an inconvenience to them, I could have scheduled my intake appointment for major depression somewhere else. I arrived to my appointment. I was given forms to fill out. Filled them out. Sat and waited over 45 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. They called everyone else in except me. Another patient that left forgot something, and the front desk staff called them. After 45 minutes, I accepted that I was just sitting there wasting my time, so I got up and left. Nobody tried to stop me or ask where I was going. Nobody called me to ask if I was coming back or if I wanted to reschedule (I don't). Nobody reached out the next day to see what happened. Like I said, had I known they just wanted to waste my time for no reason, I could have set up this intake appointment elsewhere that I so desperately needed and now have sort of given up on scheduling anywhere else. Oh, and I'm a Community employee, what great care their employees receive. Thanks.

I wanted help no core order no nothing it was me seeking help. It was also somewhere that could get me in. I was actually excited to go to rehab. I know it was gonna suck, but I was excited to get my life back. When I first got there and they took all of my info, I sat in this room for 6 hours alone. I had my prescriptions that I had brought in w/ me & one of my meds I have been on for 10 years. They accepted me, but they said they would not give me my medicine which is a benzo, but I do not abuse those I was there for an opiate problem. I have panic attacks. My heart rate gets super high tachycardia, but I accepted Because I really wanted help. And I know you can t come cold turkey off of a benzo. So I was thinking that they would give me something of their own to calm me down, no matter the form of the benzo .If I got that medication, even if it was an Ativan to keep me comfortable, I Would have been fine. Everyone there got a benzo to help with their withdrawals. I got no comfort meds. I checked out two days early I felt confident And knew I wasn t gonna use an opiate again and the opiatewithdrawal was not very bothersome. It was the benzo cutting me off the way they did. Cold turkey could have really killed me. you can t see the doctor until your 3rd day there. I physically could not move. They had to put an IV in me. Which got infiltrated So I had to walk all the way up to the front desk with a huge hand, carrying the IV bag . My arms looked so bad from them trying to get this IV in me they should have sent me to the hospital. I honestly think it s something I totally could have done at home I really feel like they did not help me. I know the withdrawal symptoms were from my prescribed medication. The first day there the withdrawals from the opiate started and they would not listen to me. They had all my doctor records about why I needed to be on this medication & for how long . and all the heart problems I have I do not recommend this place just thinking about this place makes me sick to my stomach they don t listen and did not comfort me the way they comforted the other girls I ended up in the hospital two days because I had benzo belly .

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 Outpatient care is designed for individuals who need addiction treatment services while living at home or in one their supportive living apartments. This level of care allows clients to incorporate treatment into their life while still attending school, maintaining employment or staying connected to family.
Inpatient 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.
Intensive Outpatient IOP offers group therapy several days and evenings per week. Education is offered to individuals and their families through special weekly family programming. Individuals are expected to participate in a 12-step recovery program. Special groups are available for chronic relapse patients.
Aftercare 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.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Intervention Services 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.
Partial Hospitalization Program 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.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Medically 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.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
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.
Programs
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.
LGBTQ Program
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.
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.
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.
In couples therapy, you and your partner work with a psychologist to identify challenges in the relationship and what changes need to be made. You'll work on listening, communicating, and navigating those changes in healthy ways.
While participating in the treatment programs here at Fairbanks, clients have the opportunity to speak with their loved one’s primary counselor. Family sessions may be scheduled to enable everyone to gain more insight and education about addiction. Fairbanks also incorporates inpatient visitation for adolescents and young adults with family programs.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Recreational therapy integrates structured activities into a holistic treatment program to help promote your physical and mental health and well being. You might engage in sports, creative arts, or outdoor adventures as a positive outlet for your stress and emotions. This helps you develop new interests and build a supportive network that helps you maintain long term sobriety.
