About Allen County Community Corrections

Allen County Community Corrections provides a day treatment program to support adults in Fort Wayne, Indiana who are facing incarceration. If you’ve been charged with illegal activity related to drug or alcohol use, you can visit this program to receive treatment services. For some clients, these services can serve as an alternative to jail time. In addition to outpatient services, they offer a separate residential program nearby. You can pay with cash, money order, check, or card.

This facility approaches addiction recovery in a unique way. The multidisciplinary team of providers works together to incorporate evidence based practices, proven programs, and effective rehab strategies into each treatment plan. They know that helping you overcome your chemical dependency isn’t just good for you. It also benefits the entire community, including your loved ones and your neighbors.

Their goal is to hold you accountable but also give you room to grow and change. As you attend counseling sessions during the day, you’ll discover healthy ways to cope with issues like stress and anger without turning to addictive substances. You’ll also learn tools that can promote your long term success and help you become an active, productive part of your community and society.

While some former clients say the staff members here are great and the program is first class, this doesn’t seem to be the consensus. Several clients have noted negative experiences with the team, especially the case managers.

The only reason I gave 2 stars was because of the people who do treat you with dignity and respect. And I will mention them first. The security guards- they are awesome, but they also have jobs to do! They will joke and laugh with you. But if you are to be there by a certain time then 1 minute late is 1 minute late. It is what it is. If they let you through they have to let the next who s 5 minutes late through. LATE IS LATE. I understand being on home detention you have to call before you leave and sometimes I ve been the 7th caller waiting for them to answer. I never tried to leave a message cause I didn t want to give them a reason to violate me. And if it s morning you can t control traffic or school buses. Next would be Community Service supervisors, they are great! Mitch is especially understanding but again he has a job to do. And we as the people under supervision got ourselves in trouble, we need to do what we need to, to get out of the trouble. It s not about how tough you are or someone younger telling you what to do. Get it done and go about your day. People would complain about what we had to do, we aren t doing this because we are perfect, we are doing this because at some point in life we decided to break the law and these are the consequences. It could be worse. It could always be worse! Plus if your on home detention it s a chance to get outside. Look at that as a privilege. Lastly, Eric Grimes he is the facilitator to many classes there, but he is nothing short of amazing. Non judgmental, empathetic, and there to help you get through a difficult time in your life. It s not what they call you, it s what you answer too.Now for the rest of them CASE MANAGEMENT: Horrible! They hate their jobs and it shows. They are quick to hand out some kind of disciplinary action instead of find what will make things better. I was made to attend park center only for park center to tell me it was pointless for me to be there and would not benefit me in anyway. They demand you to attend Blue Jacket regardless if it fits your schedule or not. I being a single mother of 5 kids and two being toddlers and one whom has developmental therapy among other doctors appointments, working a full time or even attending something that s what their schedule demands is not practical. I was given homework from Susan idk how many times, that ultimately had nothing to do with why I was on home detention. And even worse most of the papers said go over or role play with your case manager this or that situation. The number of times that ever happened :0 They throw in your face how much money you owe them, but don t understand how hard it is for a recent felon to get and obtain a job. Or places that can and willing to hire they don t approve. But they want their money. When you express your dislikes or have a problem with a certain situation , the answer you get is DEAL WITH IT, YOU KNOW THE ALTERNATE OPTION. FIELD OFFICERS: Good ol knock on my door, and search my home. First off to not be able to have cameras inside your own home is beyond ridiculous. Outside I understand their reasoning for saying no, but inside is only because they don t want to be recorded dehumanizing or doing stuff they aren t supposed to be doing. Their jobs are to come and search for illegal or illicit things things in your home that violate community corrections rules. So understand that their job is to FIND something that they can use against you. I ve been patted down and told they knew I was hiding something and when they found nothing, the lady pushed me in the back when she was done. My toddler dropped his crackers on the floor and the field officer with the dog came in and said it would be a good snack for the dog. And another officer say I wouldn t let my dog or anything eat off this floor . Also had the dog on my bed, which no where in the rules does it say the dog can get on furniture. The same dog that was just outside walking in the grass and pissed on its own foot. If we as the inmates can t protect ourselves with camera inside

This place is HELL. Bailey a so called "case manager" needs to be fired immediately. She can't do her job and so far nobody else there seems to care. However I'm far from done making sure she can't get a job at a fast food joint much less have ANY control over other people. Will update with successful details as they unfold.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab provides intensive, round-the-clock care and is designed primarily for clients who have just completed detox, those in early recovery, and those at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment typically includes extensive psychotherapy that draws on various modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Clients also learn the recovery-focused life skills needed to promote sustained recovery. Many inpatient drug rehabs also offer evidence-based holistic therapies like meditation, yoga, massage, and experiential therapy.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program have completed inpatient care and may also be preparing to exit formal outpatient care. Outpatient services are typically categorized as rehab aftercare, but these services often continue beyond the cessation of formal treatment. Rehab aftercare services are designed to promote life-long recovery through comprehensive, wraparound care, which may include medical, mental health, and social services. These programs are usually created in collaboration with the client's case manager and care team.
12-step icon12-Step
12 step programs foster participants' long-term sobriety through personal growth rooted in spiritual principles, though religious affiliation is not mandatory. Most 12 step meetings are non-denominational but are based on the belief in a higher power. Participants learn to understand and address the causes of their addiction, accept responsibility for their choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Regular group meetings and mentoring by a self-selected sponsor are required.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
The number one rule of a sober living home in Indiana is that residents cannot use or bring alcohol or drugs into the home. Breaking this rule typically results in eviction. In addition to this rule, men's and women's sober living homes have other standards that residents must meet. These usually include maintaining a job, helping with meal preparation and house cleaning, and attending 12-step meetings.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
When removing addictive substances from your body under the care of licensed medical professionals, the process is called medically assisted detox. Once you've become physically dependent on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, quitting can be uncomfortable or even dangerous. To minimize risks to your health and overall discomfort, a team of medical professionals monitors you 24/7 and provides medications if necessary (like Suboxone or methadone) to ease potential symptoms of withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

For long-term recovery from drug addiction, drug rehab in Indiana is often key. This treatment gives individuals who are struggling with a substance use disorder the tools to manage their disorder and achieve long-term sobriety.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

When you participate in cognitive behavioral therapy in Indiana, you'll learn to recognize distorted thinking that has led to substance use. Your therapist will help you establish new patterns of thinking and healthy ways to cope with challenges that don't involve substance use.

Individual dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) takes place in weekly, 60 minute sessions. You'll have homework to do, such as keeping a diary to track your emotions and actions. You'll also attend group sessions, which are intended to be skills practicing sessions. DBT in Indiana typically lasts six months to a year.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational interviewing aims to stimulate the client's personal motivation and commitment to change. Rather than receive advice and warnings from the therapist, the client is given the opportunity to share their concerns and reach their own conclusions.

During trauma therapy in Indiana, your therapist helps you process traumatic experiences and learn how they affect your emotional, mental, and physical responses. You learn effective coping strategies that help to reduce the symptoms and improve your mental health and well being.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

One of the most soulless programs I have ever gone to. None of the staff care about the clients and are extremely rude. Try to look for someplace else where they provide real help.

Best way to beat the law is to stay out of trouble. The guy taking urine samples is a nice guy. He knows the system is out to get your money so he understands your frustrations. Even he is taken back by often you have to go in and take a sample. You'll see him 3 times a week at 30 dollars each. Add on 10 bucks a day for monitoring. So you'll pay around 500 to 600 dollars a month awaiting for your court date. (2 and half months for me).The security guards were decent in my opinion. But one of them definitely took the job too serious. Stood there drinking water, staring at the wall trying to get myself ready for a urine sample. Here he comes wondering why I look spaced out and suspects that I'm on something. MY BAD for being tired and not enthused about pulling my tally whacker out in front of another man. Thought that was a little rude, but guys like that usually have little guy syndrome below the waistline so they have to make up for it in other ways. The payment ladies are nice. Your case manager is a genuine A Hole, (Teddy) He comes from a family with money and never had to work hard in his life so he gets off treating people like dookie. I'm sure it is a stressful job sitting at a desk all day,(sarcasm)..Example, as I sat in his office fresh from court and sitting in jail for 5 hours, he asked me if I called the hotline for a drug screen. I said no i have not done so. I'm here now. He says call the hotline with your identification number to see if you have to take a drug screen. I replied I dont have the number memorized could you tell me the number.(He issued me the number the day before). He told me no and that I have ten minutes to make the call or it is considered a NO Call and it will be used against me. If I'm there in my case managers office wouldn't you think he would give me the number to my drug screen hotline to ensure I get it done. Ha Nope... this place blows. My lawyer told me the less you talk the better you are. He also stated that Teddy has a bad attitude and is a D-Bag. None of these people care, they treat you like an animal and at any moment they will get you in trouble for any reason possible. Do not trust anyone in this building. As N.W.A says... Eff the Police
