About Ascension St. Vincent Stress Center

St. Vincent Stress Center provides personalized substance use disorder treatment and mental health treatment to youth, adults, and seniors in Indianapolis, Indiana. They also offer emotional support for those with challenging medical conditions while focusing on mind, body, and spiritual healing.

St. Vincent Stress Center provides mental health care, dual diagnosis treatment, and outpatient treatment programs for all ages.

Outpatient treatment programming is a more flexible approach to addiction treatment that is a step down from Partial Hospitalization Programs and Intensive Outpatient Programs. This service provides continued support for addiction recovery through individual therapy, group therapy, and educational classes on addiction and recovery. Medications may be managed, and for those in need, trauma support may also be offered. The goal is to continue to move toward a life of recovery and a suitable aftercare treatment plan that allows for reintegration back into society. This program is available for seniors, adults, and adolescents who are looking for consistent treatment and help.

Mental health treatment focuses on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and other challenging psychiatric conditions. Individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy all serve as ways to deliver mental health support. These services can be administered in an inpatient setting, within an outpatient setting, or at a clinical office.

Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long term sobriety is achieved.

My son was transferred to the stress center from Peyton Manning. We completed the lengthy assessment.Did the entire intake/assessment process which takes about 2/3 hours. Then after the assessment they tell us there are no beds available and that I should take my son to Plainfield if we need help.I also brung my son in on Sunday and did the entire intake/assessment process which took again another 2/3 hours long. They told me after the assessment that there was no beds available on Sunday. They should really let families know there are NO BEDS available BEFORE we sit down and do the lengthy assessment process. It s 12am I ve wasted a lot time doing the assessment process. To not get any help for my child. Had I would ve known that there would be no beds available for him I would have never sat for a 3hour assessment. I could have spent my time looking for help/resources at places that have available beds for my son. This is not an a reflection of the St.Vincents motto caring for everyone, with special attention to those who are struggling the most .

I really love the stress center and what they do for people. This is a great place for help. Especially during crisis situations. The admission process is hour long. But after that it s not bad. The majority of the doctors and people I talk to are really here to help.I admitted my son for help. His DCS Case manager Mrs.Clark told me to send my son here. That s exactly what I did. I also provided Mrs.Clarks name emails and contact information. So Upon admission Jenny social worker called DCS and made a NEW report of abuse on me And all I m doing is trying to get help for my son.Is this not a place for help?

Accepted Insurance

Ascension St. Vincent Stress Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, 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.

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 iconOutpatient
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. Their outpatient therapy counselors provide comprehensive outpatient care, and are experienced in, but not limited to: marriage and family counseling, sexual abuse counseling, child custody services, depression counseling, battered wife syndrome therapy, and adoption issues.
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.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
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.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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 icon24-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.

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.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

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.

Hello I was once a patient at this facility. Let me tell you I would’ve been better off receiving no treatment. First of all once I was admitted on a hold for a psych evaluation I passed and was released. Durning my evaluation I was held for 12 hours. Mind you I was in the ER since early that morning. And I literally received no food or water after asking for it because the staff on the ward was too busy hitting their weed pens behind their desks. I mean the entire unit smelled like weed and chemicals. I also attended out patient group therapy here as well. I genuinely do not believe these people have training. They just sit there ask you how you’re feeling then ask you “why” after every question. Or they will pump you full of medication. When I was 13 I was put on XANAX for ANGER MANAGEMENT. I had no idea until I searched the name of the medication and realized it was Xanax. I stopped taking it but I then became reliant on a downers. I could go on about my experience at this dump they call a hospital. But a lot of staff needs to be fired. Rude unprofessional and not helpful. I would’ve been better off working on myself without their quote help cause that’s what I had to do anyway. If you value yourself or child don’t come here pls. The company wants your money.

I am perplexed that they would bring me in for an intake session for my daughter, have me fill out an entire packet of paperwork, take copies of my driver’s license and insurance card and then call me one business day later to say they don’t have a spot for her and refer me to an entirely different place that is not a part of St. Vincent. Now I have to go through the intake session again. What a waste of time and energy!!!

Was admitted here last year at 17 years old for major depressive disorder. I was emotionally abused by Dr. Jerry Fletcher. I was told that I was selfish, worthless, and meant nothing. Unclean facility and terrible staff. Constantly had to swat bugs out of my bed and the whole place smelled like urine and damp, musty laundry. I have food allergies and the staff didn’t even attempt to accommodate so for the time I was there, I ate nothing but fruit and potatoes every other day. Since then, I’ve struggled with lasting mental health issues that have affected my overall wellbeing.

My daughter was having some stress/emotional issues and we were referred to the Stress Center. The intake person was helpful and understanding, and recommended the Intensive Outpatient Program. The first week of IOP group sessions was led by a substitute for the regular therapist. The substitute was excellent and my daughter, my wife, and I were all feeling good about the group. Then the regular therapist (Andrea) came back and immediately earned the one star review for the program. In the family session I personally witnessed her pressuring, bullying behavior. She violates a lot of mental health therapy practices, for instance, praising responses she approves of and criticizing responses she doesn't approve of. She asked my daughter a question that invited a thoughtful answer, then immediately started scolding her for not answering quickly enough. My daughter asked for some time to think, then gave a thoughtful answer. Andrea repeated the scolding "you can't be in the group if you refuse to engage." Pardon me, she did engage, she just asked for some time to engage more thoughtfully, rather than give the perfunctory answers that earned praise from Andrea. Then for the "family exercise," Andrea read a list of Hallmark Card platitudes from a sheet of paper in a rapid monotone and announced that family therapy was over. My daughter was upset. She said Andrea always bullies her and makes her feel "like a bad dog." I replied that giving feedback to the therapist is an appropriate part of therapy, so let's give her a chance. After the session we approached Andrea. I introduced myself, and recalled the moment when my daughter asked for more time. My daughter said she has a hard time dealing with pressure and asked that she be given a little time to respond instead of having to reply instantaneously to complicated personal questions. Andrea was completely dismissive and just repeated the scolding, "If you refuse to engage you can't be in group." I reported this to Bethany, the manager of the IOP, who gave me a bunch of customer service platitudes like "It sounds like your expectations weren't met" - as if I had ordered a pink box and got fuscia instead. Clinically appropriate behavior and absence of dismissiveness, bullying, and pressuring aren't just some quirky customer preference - these are basic expectations of any kind of clinician. The next day, Andrea pulled my daughter out of group to get her alone and spent over 30 minutes (my daughter checked the time) berating her, criticizing her, and scolding her. It was not easy getting my daughter to trust and open up to therapists. Andrea's abusiveness is a major setback - this was actively harmful, not just unhelpful. She is an impaired clinician who clearly has her own issues and isn't safe for vulnerable patients. I will be reporting her to the state licensing board. I saw a lot of the negative reviews here are followed by a "call this number" from St Vincent, so I called the number. The person I spoke to was appropriate and understanding, took down the above information, and said leadership will get back to me in 1-2 weeks. Bottom line: as long as this therapist is involved, the IOP is not a psychologically safe environment for any patient. Avoid like a toxic plague.

I just called to speak with a nurse regarding my son. Lakisha answered the phone and did not greet me or say hello. I greeted her and asked could I speak with my son’s nurse. She refused to let me speak with his nurse put me on hold to get Cindy. I asked to speak with a charge nurse at this point because the both of them were rude and unprofessional. Both Cindy and Lakisha was rude .They provided me no help. I Have had no problems with any of the staff since my sons stay here. Until today just now.Its 3am Their behavior was rude and unprofessional. It’s giving LAZY. It’s would have take no time to tell me how my son is doing. I would like information on how to file a complaint. I am calling to get information on my 17 year old son. I provided his dob, as I had been doing since his stay. Today these two ladies refused to speak with me. I asked who my child’s nurse is. Lakisha refused to tell me. She said I’ll let u speak to a nurse. I asked Lakisha is the charge nurse available&Lakisha said they have no manager or charge nurse on duty. The behavior displayed makes me question is my son’s health being treated seriously. I am so scared to have these two people working with my son. I don’t feel safe that he is in the St.Vincent Stress Center.I am now gonna be worried all day about my son. The previous nights Leading up til today my sons nurse have been awesome. I would call around the clock. And I get a full report on my child. I feel at ease. But today after the way Cindy and Lakisha talked to me. I don’t feel this place is a good fit for my child or anyone else. That’s not how you talk to family members. If your having a bad day STAY HOME. Cindy and Lakisha’s behavior is not a reflection of the St.Vincents motto.” Rooted in the Loving ministry of Jesus as healer, we commit ourselves to serving all persons with SPECIAL ATTENTION those who are poor and vulnerable. Our Catholic health ministry is dedicated to spiritually centered holistic care which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities to those who are poor and vulnerable compassionate and just society through our actions and our words. The St.Vincent motto was not displayed today. They have gotten my nerves so bad from worrying about my child. I am scared to have them working with my child or any of the other children in the facility. There is no manager on duty that can help me.No administrators available.This is not catholic like healthcare. This is not Christian behavior. I am sad. I am hurt. I am worried to death about my child and there is no one that can help me.
