Tara Treatment Center Inc

Rural, Home-Like Setting Built for Focus

Tara Treatment Center Inc is located in the countryside of Franklin, Indiana, on a quiet campus designed to feel more like a home than a hospital. Clients stay in shared, air-conditioned living spaces and follow a steady routine that includes therapy, education, recovery meetings, and time to reset. Outdoor areas, such as walking trails, gardens, and other green space, offer room to decompress between sessions.

Step-Down Care That Supports Real Life

Tara offers multiple levels of care, starting with residential detox and residential treatment in separate men’s and women’s settings. After residential care, clients can continue with partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient counseling, options that can work for people returning to work, school, or family responsibilities while staying connected to structured support. Transitional services are also available as a next step after residential treatment.

A 12-Step Foundation With Holistic Options

Programming incorporates 12-step facilitation and recovery education alongside evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-related counseling. Tara also offers experiential and wellness-focused services, such as yoga, art therapy, and equine-assisted activities, to help clients build coping skills and new routines for day-to-day recovery.

Support for Co-Occurring Needs and Medications

Tara treats substance use disorders and supports co-occurring mental health needs, with mental health services and medication for mental disorders when clinically appropriate. The program also provides medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including options used in opioid and alcohol recovery, and can work with clients who are receiving MAT through an outside prescriber.
