Medical briefcase icon 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

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Persons who require high-level support but who do not wish to leave their homes or communities may enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Clients typically commit to a minimum of nine treatment hours across three therapeutic sessions per week, but many programs offer up to 20 hours of care weekly. Most intensive outpatient rehabs provide a combination of psychotherapy, recovery education, and holistic care. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is widely available for those in alcohol or opioid recovery.

aftercare iconAftercare

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.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

When families plan a drug intervention in Indiana, the goal is to create self-awareness in their loved one, so they acknowledge the need for treatment and get help. A professional interventionist can work with the individual's family members to organize this intervention and provide direction for follow-up. During the intervention, loved ones share how the individual's substance abuse has affected them, and the interventionist adds a clinical perspective on how treatment can help the situation.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) can provide intensive rehab on a short-term basis. While PHP treatment typically requires a commute, telehealth may be available. PHP treatment costs can vary but are often covered by most insurance. The program duration can vary to meet your specific needs and require you to meet for a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. PHP Treatment services often include relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group counseling, and other behavioral therapy interventions.

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.

Our Policy: Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center – Dr. James J. Wright Building works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

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

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

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.

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

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.

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.

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills include cognitive skills, interpersonal skills, and personal skills that help you manage daily living. Cultivating these skills during rehab in Indiana is an important part of recovery. With these skills, you'll be able to navigate challenges and prevent relapse.

Worst place to get care. Adult son went there and they absolutely messed everything up. His meds were 100 percent covered so they changed it to same meds but injection, not informing us it would be 45 dollar charge. So back to PO ( pills) and now they charge 30.00 for what used to be covered. He asked coordinator for a care plan that never worked out, almost got family evicted. Coordinator never helped with finding a job, getting food stamps and called CPS cause she said that he was too unstable to live with the family but she didn t find him any housing or acute care treatment. The same person that reported him is the person responsible to assist with services.Do not even go here. Call your insurance and ask for another provider.

If you want help finding housing this is most definitely NOT the place to look for assistance. Solomon??? has no concept of need, he has handshake agreements with different "Friends" to place you in a sleeping room. Period. If you want something that has a level of privacy such as an apartment he will simply put your name on waiting lists. Said waiting lists are full and you will die of old age before your name makes it to the top. There is no communication with the client, he talks a big game when you can hear but no further action is taken. He signed me up with a nursing home and two complex but none of them will happen to have a vacancy for months.

I have only received excellent care from the providers at Eskanazi, but have only had negative experiences with billing. They've been largely unhelpful and I've had to rely on my insurance's customer support to figure out why things went wrong. For example I received a bill where the claim was submitted from their Cincinnati location and had the wrong billing code on it. I originally contacted billing at Eskanazi, and was basically told it's my problem to figure out. My insurance figured out what was wrong and basically gave me a script to tell Eskanazi what was wrong. If you get Diana P as your billing agent, don't expect much help.

I was a patient here some time ago. You have to arrive no later than 8am in order to be registered for the first time. The staff was ok, but they repeatedly disregarded my requests to stop spamming my phone. Whenever I did not have an appointment scheduled yet they'd become like telemarketers and call a lot. Requests are ignored and one caller sounded kind of sad, which tells me possibly staff are forced to do this by higher ups. So I stopped going and returned to my faith 6 months ago and I can say I'm nearly healed of BPD. These days as society moves away from God and destroys itself, the power of God to heal trauma and emotional distress is severely underrated. I encourage all those who are suffering to seek Jesus first and foremost. Have a blessed day.

Completed online form for new patient appointment for my daughter..4 days later nothing. Called and was told new patients have to present via the walk in assessment service...that would be good information to have on the website instead of an appt request form that you ignore anyways. Then, I drive down there to the walk in during the hours they told me and it is closed...no explanation....apparently they were closed all week and the person I spoke to was incapable of telling me this. Zero mental health help a,vailable ..zero compassion..called crisis number and recorded message asking for "access code" ...seriously? If weren't stressed before you started...you sure will be when you get done. Unacceptable to be asked by a receptionist "what my daughters IQ is"

They have helped my sister in many ways. The best way, in my opinion, was with her medications they worked with her until they got her on the correct medication that fit her! It was much needed and very appreciated! Thank you Eskenazi mental health facility!!! My family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts! I pray other mental health patients can get the same care that my sister has/does.

Well I am back with what I hoped would be a story of reassurance for others but NOT. I did get a call from a patient experience liaison. He listened and was helpful to the best of his abilities since my son is not a minor. He already had an appointment for 08/19 and we were told that would stand. Then we got a call to cancel it. Then we got a call saying it would happen as a virtual visit. Then it was rescheduled to October. My son was told his meds had a refill which i knew it did not but I called pharmacy and guess what no refill. At this point me and my son will need to go to St. Vincents Stress Center.

Lakisha Williams, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We regret that you had a negative experience, and will use this as an opportunity to improve.
