Avenues Recovery Center at Indianapolis

Comprehensive Care and Supportive Environment

Avenues Recovery Center at Indianapolis offers treatment across the full continuum, from medical detox, residential care, and partial hospitalization (PHP), to intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient services. Its residential track often begins with a structured 30-day program that can be extended as needed. The facility itself is newly remodeled, with light-filled rooms, inviting lounges, outdoor gathering areas, a fitness space, and recreation rooms that foster comfort and community. After discharge, alumni support continues through weekly groups, outings, private online networks, and counselor check-ins, ensuring recovery care extends well beyond a residential stay.

12-step Foundation and Family Involvement

Programs feature onsite 12-step meetings including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), strong peer support, mentorship, and an emphasis on mutual accountability. Family participation and connection are woven into care plans. Loved ones are encouraged to join clients in family and couples counseling sessions. During inpatient treatment, clients can talk to their loved ones as often as needed with the approval of their personal counselor.

Comprehensive Aftercare Planning

From the beginning of treatment, the staff creates aftercare plans adapted to each client’s needs. These include finding a primary care doctor and therapist, connection with local 12-step and other community support groups, and help securing housing as needed. Employment guidance is also provided, including assistance with resumes, applications, and preparation for reentering the workforce.

Thriving Alumni Community

After discharge, clients are encouraged to become part of an active alumni network. This offers a way to form lasting friendships and find mutual support. Alumni organize frequent events and recreational outings and participate in weekly group meetings, either in person or online. An online network where members can chat with each other is also available. Counselors regularly check in on clients’ progress to see how they are doing and provide additional guidance.
