Michiana Behavioral Health

Quiet, Wooded Setting with Multi-Age Focus

Nestled near Lake of the Woods in northern Indiana, Michiana Behavioral Health offers a structured, hospital-based environment for people experiencing psychiatric or substance use crises. The facility serves children as young as six, as well as teens, adults, and seniors. With separate units and programming for each age group, treatment is tailored to the developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs of each population.

DBT as a Core Treatment Model

All treatment is rooted in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), an evidence-based model that helps people develop skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationship-building. This approach is particularly effective for those dealing with mood instability, trauma responses, or self-harm. Clients participate in individual therapy, skills-based groups, and family counseling when appropriate.

Medically Monitored Detox and Virtual Outpatient Options

Adults facing substance use challenges can access hospital-based detox with 24/7 medical oversight. For those ready to transition from inpatient care, or seeking care while living at home, Michiana offers a chemical dependency intensive outpatient program (CD-IOP), available both on-site and virtually. Programming includes group therapy, relapse prevention planning, and access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone.

Support for Complex and Co-Occurring Conditions

Michiana Behavioral Health provides targeted care for individuals with complex psychiatric or co-occurring conditions. Clients with histories of trauma, legal system involvement, or significant mental illness are supported through trauma-informed therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and discharge planning. Specialty tracks are also available for veterans, active-duty military, and survivors of abuse.
