About Oaklawn—Mishawaka Campus

The Children’s Campus, also called the Mishawaka Campus, is part of Oaklawn Mental Health and Addiction Services and the larger Mennonite network. Mishawaka is known as The Princess City in Indiana, located along the St Joseph River and near South Bend. The area has over 50 parks and outdoor activities that help support your mental health recovery.

Dedicated Youth Program

The campus provides psychiatric, mental and behavioral health care that addresses intellectual and developmental disabilities alongside substance use disorders. The program is designed for youths between 12 and 18 years and has programs that address age appropriate conditions, such as a history of running away, problems with authority, difficulty in school, poor boundaries, trauma and substance use disorders.

Long Term Multidimensional Treatment Approach

I like that the New Hope program for teens is long term, offering youth the assessment and treatment they need to be successful as adults. The program utilizes a 30-day diagnostic and evaluation that looks at eight key areas including physical health, family, substance use and psychological challenges. The whole program lasts 28 weeks and all services are available in Spanish as well.

The program uses a multidimensional treatment approach customized to fit the needs of each person. Evidence based practices include applied behavioral analysis, motivational interviewing, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy and the matrix model. Medical services are also available onsite.

Family Engagement Important to Mental Health

It’s good to know that they put a high priority on family engagement, which eases the transition back into the community. They offer skills training that includes coping, independent living and social skills. School is provided on campus, including teachers, guidance counselors and an administrator.

They did a wonderful job with our son. When our son was discharged, he was a different kid for the better. Oaklawn is a great facility, and I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff are very professional and know what to do and how to do it to help the children.

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.

Treatments

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.

Clinical Services

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.

Oh no y'all DCS put my daughter here a couple of months ago and since then I've lost my rights to her she's 16 years old and even though I've changed my life I'm clean and sober I just had another baby I'm in college and I'm capable of having her they said that it was too long past the voluntary time I sign my rights over cuz I was under the impression that the foster parents that she had at the time were to be adopting her even though she was sent to this facility to get treated. Now I'm finding out that's not the case and she's the one who said she wanted to be adopted. But after reading all of this and how horrible it sounds I am in fear for my daughter and her well-being and obviously I have no control over it does anybody know if there's a way to like write the children in their can they get letters I just want her to know that I'm still here no matter what and I am better if she needs saving I will do everything I can to save her

Man, I remember going here since I was a kid, and this is where a lot of my trauma came from from the staff named Darius, slamming my hand in the door repeatedly until it was bleeding. I still have scars from being brutally assaulted and restrained I hated this place do not go here I had to deal with it 2 years .

do NOT send your kids here . if you really cared about someone you would send them to somewhere like epworth where its a short term stay and they give you outside resources. stayed here from September 11th 2024-June 4th 2025. they WILL keep you here for years. had someone who was 19 nd had already been living there for 2 years, staff are unhelpful. ms kenzie and ms karrigan were probably the only helpful staff i talked with. was on the koa unit with a kid who would smear her feces on the walls and throw them at staff. got everything restricted for months because they couldnt care for one kid. didnt have toilet paper in the bathroom or paper towels and no soaps either which i can admit was my fault. rarley was able to go outside because they were understaffed and we had people on our unit on elopement precautions. very easy to elope from here btw the magnetic doors are NOT that strong. had a male staff put his elbow in my crotch during a hold just for him to be excused by the program coordinator ms val. was blamed for several things i did not do and had many things tooken from me. i did not act out before being placed here, the staff, the other kids, the whole environment was horrible. to anyone reading this, don't do this to someone you love

If you really loved your love one and looking for a residential treatment facility don’t bring them here! If I could give this place zero stars I would. My daughter is at this facility and is being abused and neglected by staff. I went for a visit and saw my daughter with bruises all up and down her arms. When I asked staff about what happened to her they had no answers. They contact you bout what your child does to their staff but fails to tell you what there staff does to your children. Please don’t bring your child here for help. Their staff is unprofessional and always has some kind of excuse to why they won’t contact you to let you know your child has marks! Which is unacceptable! I want answers!!!
