Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
Outpatient programs run in each community the organization serves across central and west central Indiana, which keeps the care close to home.
The Matrix Model is the intensive outpatient track here. It bundles relapse prevention groups, education and support groups, individual counseling, and family education.
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).
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.
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 and substance use care come from the same system. The center serves adults, children, adolescents and families, and the Matrix Model handles addiction through groups, counseling and screening.
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.
Adults are among the groups the center serves, alongside children, adolescents and families, so adult behavioral health care is part of what it offers.
At first glance, therapy for someone who identifies as LGBTQ is the same as for someone who does not. They are all susceptible to anxieties, stressors, depression, family tension, and other emotional and mental health concerns that are sometimes a part of simply being human. However, many members of the LGBTQ community experience an additional layer of challenges related to their gender and sexual orientation. Hamilton Center offers special programs for the LGBT community. Services include: individual therapy and therapy groups (LGBT Group and Gender Diversity Group).
Hamilton Center’s MVP program appreciates the dedication and sacrifice required of the current military and the veteran families. The spouses and children of the warriors make up the backbone of the military and ensure that their service members can concentrate on their mission. Once the mission is completed and the veteran returns home, it is the family who helps put the pieces back together. MVP offers mental health and emotional support for issues relating to: PTSD, Frustration Control, Addiction, Grief Counseling, Depression, Anxiety, Anger and Relationship Issues.
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.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is among the approaches used, next to motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy and relapse prevention training.
Dialectical behavior therapy is listed alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and relapse prevention training in the center's approach.
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 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.
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.
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.

I wouldn't want to return to this place, they are rude, disrespectful and have no manners, they don't remember that their patients are people with serious problems that need their help, so they should treat them in the best way.
Guy at front desk is underqualified for the skills necessary to take customer service calls of the folks struggling with their mental health and help them coordinate care or even initiate referring them to the proper people who can help. Talks in a monotone apathetic tone and is flat and short and comes off as intentionally unhelpful like he had a bad day and he's mad you called. Whenever I asked him for more then the bare minimum (schedule or cancel an appointment), he would start projecting a rude passive aggressive tone trying to intimidate you off the phone. I honestly don't know how people like this get hired. It's like they put on a different face during the interview and then they get the job and start being the jerk they have always wanted to be. Then they assigned me with a student even though the type of help I need is not for somebody who is not seasoned. I'm not trying to be a student's Guinea pig. I'm not dealing with seasonal depression. And sitting with that 20 something y/o student and trying to have deep serious conversations about severe trauma and midlife crisises was painful to say the least. I needed help with serious life crisises that she has never dealt with. Nor advocated or helped someone through and I was not ready to be all of her first mistakes in a time of crisis. Her mannerisms and her bedside manner left much to desire to say the least and the psychologist that she was working under would stand in the hallway outside her office door and just loom at me with a forced smile whenever I would come and go into my sessions. The search continues. At 45 years old. The system is flunked out!
Terrible service. Had 5 appointments and therapists only showed up for 2. No notifications from staff for cancelations. Have to find out appointment was cancelled when I showed up for the appointment. Had heard bad things about this place and can verify they are all true. Super disappointing.
I dealt with a lovely woman who was as helpful as I could have hoped for.
Friend recommended yet never able to get anywhere. No help at all just caused more issues than worth
