Indiana Center for Recovery - Mishawaka

Trauma-Informed, Dual-Diagnosis Treatment

Many clients arrive at the center with trauma and co-occurring mental health conditions along with substance use. Treatment begins with comprehensive medical and mental health assessments which are used to build personalized care plans that can include residential care, day treatment (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), or standard outpatient care. High-level psychiatric care is also available. Core therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention, and trauma-focused counseling.

Detox Services and Stabilization

For clients cycling through relapse or addressing multiple substances, the center offers 24/7 medically supervised detox with protocols for alcohol, opioids (including buprenorphine-based care), and benzodiazepines via controlled tapers. Comfort-focused measures (including options like NAD+ IV support to replenish electrolytes and nutrients) help reduce withdrawal symptoms and prepare clients for the next level of their recovery process.

Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) and Advanced Therapies

Clients have access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) as needed, paired with counseling for stronger relapse prevention. Advanced psychiatric processes are also used. GeneSight® testing helps care staff to adapt medications to a client’s genetics, reducing trial-and-error prescribing. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to improve mood regulation, while biofeedback teaches clients to monitor and calm their body’s stress responses. Spravato ketamine therapy can be used to help clients with treatment-resistant depression.

Long-Term Support and Accessibility

To supplement care plans, clients have access to yoga and meditation, fitness and outdoor recreation, creative therapies (art and music), and calming spaces like a movie theater and lounge. Chef-prepared meals and an on-site salon support rest and quality downtime during recovery. Transportation assistance, case management, housing support, and recovery coaching address practical needs that can otherwise stand in the way of progress.

Specialized Programs for Different Needs

This facility provides adapted care for diverse groups, including adolescents, veterans, pregnant or postpartum women, and older adults. The adolescent residential track integrates age-appropriate therapy with online school options and recreational activities. Veterans receive trauma-focused services that address both substance use and reintegration challenges. Specialized support is also available for individuals living with chronic pain, HIV/AIDS, or those who have experienced domestic violence or trauma.
