I was scared to even ask for help, but they made me feel safe and respected. The outpatient schedule worked with my family needs, which helped a lot. Staff were kind and patient every time. I just wish there were more cultural or language support for people like me.
About YWCA Northeast Indiana
YWCA Northeast Indiana is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. YWCA offers several unique programs aimed at helping persons experiencing domestic violence, substance use disorder, and/or sexual violence.
YWCA’s Addiction Recovery Program
YWCA Northeast Indiana’s Addiction Recovery program is a CARF accredited residential program for adult women (18 and older) living with substance use disorder (SUD). Our clients work through a tiered recovery program with the end goal of recovery from substance use disorder and reunifying with their children, family, and friends. “Recovery” is considered ongoing abstinence from drugs or alcohol as well as a commitment to rebuilding one’s life each day and for the years to come.
Upon arrival, clients are assigned a case manager and a therapist who will work with them to create an action plan and set goals. Through intensive, individualized case management and personalized relationships, case managers help clients learn to foster growth in mind, body, and spirit so they can regain confidence in themselves. Clients learn the importance of self-respect and that they are capable of contributing to their community and pursuing recovery. As clients complete curriculum and meet plan criteria, they advance through program levels until they achieve successful graduation.
There is no required number of days or months to complete each phase; each person has their own recovery timeline that is unique to them, and YWCA staff support clients as they move from phase to phase at their own pace.
Staffed by licensed and master-level clinicians, residents can receive an array of services such as: Assessment and treatment, individual therapy, group therapy, marriage and family therapy, music therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), 12-step facilitation, family education and support, alcohol and other drug services (AOD), housing counseling and placement, daily meditation and mindfulness, motivational interviewing, nutrition coaching, skills groups, and yoga and exercise.
Depending on your needs, your care plan could include access to Narcotics Anonymous meetings, connection with resources and social services in the community and cooperation with judicial personnel or a probation officer. One of this program’s best features is that they’ve designed it with family reunification in mind. They can offer additional relevant services to pregnant women and mothers who are looking for ways to reconnect with their families.
Equipping You For A Better Future
Another great feature is that your case manager will work with you to help you find employment or make an employment plan. This approach helps you take responsibility for your future in a very practical way. Some of the YWCA’s other services can also help you further your education and may even be able to offer a scholarship to help you achieve that goal after recovery

Most 12 step meetings are non-denominational but are based on the belief in a higher power. Participants learn to understand and address the causes of their addiction, accept responsibility for their choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Regular group meetings and mentoring by a self-selected sponsor are required.
