Carissa has been so wonderful! She treats me as an actual person and not just a patient. She really listens and has helped me realize the root of my problems and has helped walk me in understanding my healing and how to handle uncomfortable situations.

The Willow Center saved my life in so many ways.. I showed up a broken, shell of a person that was uncertain and not trusting of anyone or thing. I didn't even trust myself! I wouldn't be where i am today with out Carissa and the staff at Willow.. almost a year sober, closer to God and my family, healthier and full of hope!! I chose to trust Carissa and allowed her to walk me through recovery.. she patiently stuck by me through it all, good, bad and the ugly and encouraged me every step of the way. Willow Center is a no bs, get to the problem, find a solution type of place.. that works! The entire staff knows your name and roots for you! They save lives! To Carissa, i am forever grateful for you and to God for leading me to you. You are my hero in so many ways.. You are the most amazing person with a gigantic heart and crazy determination to help those that are hurting. There are no words that can explain what you've done for me. I hope to take what you've taught me and pay it forward. To everyone at Willow, you are all apart of my forever family! ❤️Steph

I am so thankful for the Willow Center and all it has done for me in the last year. I would not be where I am today without their help, especially my therapist Carissa. I came to Carissa at a really low point in my life & because of her faith in me, I have been able to flourish into who I am today & continue to grow. She knows just how to make you feel comfortable and give you that accountability you need while pushing you to be your best self. She is flexible when it comes to meeting in person or online & that really helps out with the fact that I do not have my own way of transportation at the moment. I cannot wait to continue my journey with her and if you are thinking of looking for a therapist, I would recommend her. Nurse Jill and assistant Taylor are so loving and friendly and have the best energy. They show that they truly care for their clients. I also recommend doing DBT at this location for anyone who is interested in looking for ways to regulate and manage their emotions. I am halfway through my time in the class & I’ve learned so much and I can see changes in myself as the days go by. Thank you for changing my life and for believing in me, all of you.

It’s inspiring to hear about the progress you’ve made over the past year and your dedication to personal growth. That hard work is yours; we’re just grateful to be part of the journey.

Carissa will be deeply touched by what you shared. She pours so much into her clients, and knowing the impact she’s had is incredibly meaningful. I’m also glad to hear that our NP, Jill, and her assistant, Taylor, have created such a supportive and welcoming experience for you. They are both gifts to our team.

It’s also wonderful to hear how DBT has helped you learn new skills and make positive changes in your daily life. Your willingness to lean in and try something new is a big part of why you’re seeing progress.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

The Willow Center works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Individual dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) takes place in weekly, 60 minute sessions. You'll have homework to do, such as keeping a diary to track your emotions and actions. You'll also attend group sessions, which are intended to be skills practicing sessions. DBT in Indiana typically lasts six months to a year.

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.

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.
