Full Continuum of Care in a Comfortable Setting

Avenues Recovery Center at Fort Wayne delivers a complete range of addiction treatment services in a hotel-style facility designed for comfort and continuity. Clients can access every level of care on site, from medically supervised detox to residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient programming (IOP). The 100-bed center offers a supportive environment with private or shared rooms, TVs, climate control, chef-prepared meals, and a state-of-the-art gym. Local transportation is also available, helping reduce barriers to participation and progress through treatment.

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.
