About Community Health Network – Community Howard Regional Health

Community Health Network - Community Howard Regional Health in Kokomo, Indiana, is a general hospital that has a 12 bed adult psychiatric unit. If you’re in need of treatment for mental health disorders and addiction treatment together, they may be able to help you.

Psychiatric inpatient treatment is for people who are having trouble with their daily functioning due to their mental health problems. It’s also for people who need a safe environment to keep them from harming themselves or other people. It’s very common to have substance use issues on top of mental health problems. For that reason, the inpatient unit at Howard Regional Health can also help you detox in an environment that supports your recovery.

The length of stay you can expect will depend on your needs. If you need to detox, that usually takes at least three days in most settings and could take the better part of a week.

Psychiatric inpatient units are similar to rehab in many ways, but they differ in some important aspects. The length of stay is usually much shorter than what it would be in rehab. There are also usually more rules and restrictions. Psychiatric unit staff closely monitor items that are brought into the unit to ensure everyone’s safety. As a result, you may find that you can’t keep things like shoelaces, wires, drawstrings or belts.

A great feature of their inpatient psychiatric unit is its size. Twelve beds is large enough that they can hold meaningful groups but small enough that there aren’t an overwhelming number of people.

The health system that their unit belongs to has many other behavioral health services in other locations. That’s an important feature if you’re coming in without a therapist or a prescriber because they can connect you to outpatient services within their system. Having access to aftercare will support you in your recovery.

They take many types of insurance, and they can help you enroll if you don’t have insurance. They also have an active financial assistance program with staff who will walk you through the process of obtaining financial aid.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient care provides a safe hospital setting for assessing and stabilizing patients experiencing acute psychiatric difficulties and substance abuse problems. Services include treatment programs designed for adults. The clinical team of psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and occupational therapists assists patients onto the path of recovery with effective discharge planning. They determine the appropriate aftercare programs and ensure continuity of treatment for patients.

outpatient iconOutpatient

If you need some flexibility and choice when it comes to your recovery, outpatient rehab programs are a great option because they do not require intensive inpatient treatment. Clients remain in their own homes and may continue to work or attend school while in active treatment. Outpatient treatment typically includes addiction counseling and continuing recovery education, including courses in self-care and relapse prevention. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available in many treatment centers for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I m a first time mom, and I wish I could give this hospital 500 stars. My Ob (Dr. Powless) was so funny, patient and supportive of every decision I wanted to make during my pregnancy. She answered all my questions and lessened my concerns and scares before giving birth. She delivered my daughter fast and checked up on us every day afterwards while in hospital. Also, I want to shout out one of her NP s Angie Bowman Angie is AMAZING and I make a 1 hr 45 min commute to see her once a month still because she is REALLY that kind! She is a beautiful woman inside and out and I wouldn t want to be seen by anyone else! Thank you Community Howard!

Patient's are not in jail. Using a code to check on family and giving information on patient because you do not have a code is unprofessional.

Worst hospital in the whole state. My mother pushed her button to have assistance in going to the bathroom. Nurses station said okay we will be down in a minute . No joking 15 minutes went by, I eventually stepped out into the hallway and two different nurses gave me serious attitude and asked well did she hit the call button? I said yes that was 15 minutes ago . No one came for another 10 minutes. Finally a very nice tech came and helped my mother. Also they mislead patients and family. Mother came in and was quickly diagnosed with sepsis, to find out two hours later it wasn t sepsis at all, from the words of the doctor and nurse we made that up so we could run tests quickly . Please don t take your loved ones here. Way too much malpractice going on here.

Took my mom that has dementia in. I was a bit fearful because St. Joe wasn't a great experience when I took her there. The nurses were amazing in er. They was kind even having to repeat themselves over and over. I can't express how much their kindness helps her and me. They need a job well done. I appreciate them so much. Thank you for helping my family during a hard time to feel better. It's not easy with dementia to diganose what's wrong. So thank you for not giving up till you found what was making her feel so bad. God bless those who help others.

I went in fearing for my life literally. I have claustrophobia like no other. I honestly gave myself a 1 in 100 chance of actually completing the PET scan. Jodi is absolutely amazing. You are lucky to have her. I would not have succeeded without her. Thank you Jodi

I waited an hour in lobby having chest pains. Was taken to st Joe where I was immediately put in a room and they had to start IV and treatments. I'm concerned someone could have a heart attack in Howard's waiting room. I won't be back!
