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

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

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

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.

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) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

When you receive 24-hour clinical care in Indiana, you'll be under constant supervision from highly trained medical staff. Nurses, doctors, and addiction specialists provide medications and other treatment to address withdrawal symptoms and any additional medical needs. Common medications that are prescribed include valium and Librium to relieve alcohol withdrawal, and anti-depressants to relieve cocaine withdrawal. For opioid abuse, doctors may prescribe methadone or naltrexone to manage cravings and clonidine to treat high blood pressure.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

Shield icon Insurance

Our Policy: First City Recovery Center 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

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.

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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

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.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy provides a unique experience for men and women to encounter a supportive environment where you can share your experiences and gain insight from your peers who understand your struggles. Group therapy improves your journey and helps promote sustainable recovery.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

Qualified therapists in Indiana use a customized treatment approach for individual therapy to address your drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This considers your past history and life circumstances to help you uncover the underlying issues that trigger addictive behavior and manage these factors to support a healthy approach to recovery.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach in Indiana that uses an eight phase protocol to address trauma and the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. It helps you reprocess traumatic memories and reduces your emotional distress, using a desensitization process to promote overall mental health.

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.

Nutrition Therapy

To function properly, your body must have nutritional balance. Addiction throws off this balance by depleting your body of essential nutrients. Nutrition therapy aims to restore this balance by providing a healthy diet that supports healing and long term sobriety.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy integrates structured activities into a holistic treatment program to help promote your physical and mental health and well being. You might engage in sports, creative arts, or outdoor adventures as a positive outlet for your stress and emotions. This helps you develop new interests and build a supportive network that helps you maintain long term sobriety.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

Creative arts therapy opens an alternative pathway to emotional health. For those who find it difficult to talk about their feelings, it provides a new way to express feelings and thoughts. Options include poetry, music, journaling, dance, and painting.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is often provided in conjunction with talk therapy. It is offered in inpatient and outpatient settings and may occur in individual or group formats. The basic components are an activity that evokes creative expression and emotion and a therapist to facilitate analysis of your reactions and perceptions.

Overall the treatment I received was A plus and to be fair I did receive what I needed. There were instances of blatant disrespect and unprofessional conduct by 2 of the staff members both witnessed and experienced myself during my time there this time, but not during class sessions. Not what someone paying for treatment at a facility should be subjected to in my opinion.In my opinion they are understaffed, overworked, overwhelmed and therefore very busy with the constant influx of clients and turnover of qualified staff, but I do understand it is an industry with high turnover of qualified people. I can t say I d return if I required services again if I had other options, which I do.

I had an extremely bizarre experience here, and after a little over a year later, I don't think I could recommend this facility for people dealing with psychosis. I can't honestly say how much was in my head, but I definitely should have been in a psych ward, and I feel like my odd behaviors were ignored or downplayed.

Response from the owner3 months ago
We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience. We strive to provide our guests with the best possible experience, and we take your feedback very seriously. We would like to learn more about what happened so that we can take appropriate action to prevent it from happening again. Please contact us at (406) 637-7766 to share more details.

I will state this endlessly. This is the worst rehab I have ever been to. I am ashamed to admit I have been to 5, but thankfully my last one in California helped. Let me list the reasons1. No personal 1 on 1 therapy sessions2. No accountability for their patients3. Patients, while I was there, left the facility and participated in alcohol and drug use. They were welcomed back with just an apology. That is not the way rehab works. It is a safe place. I, more than anyone, acknowledge personal struggle. But when a person is paying $25,000 a month for a drug/alcohol free environment there should be no "I'm sorry, I will do better". I can sit in my own home and not have to deal with that4. They sent an actual person to my home, knocked on our home front door to attempt to collect money that our insurance was going to pay, just give it a few weeks. I know they did this to at least one other client.5. One of their patients/clients started sleeping and having an affair with another one of their patients/clients. How she was able to leave the facility and be with this man and have said affair is beyond me. In previous rehabs, I was accounted for during all hours of the day. That is what you are paying for. Accountability.If you are struggling with alcohol or drugs, I can give you the name and place of people who will help.This IS the worst place to seek treatment for.

I was recently at this inpatient recovery center for my mental health and I must say, it was an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly supportive and understanding, and the patients were equally amazing. The center provided me with the tools I needed to overcome my struggles and helped me get back on track. I can confidently say that this place saved my life. I would highly recommend this center to anyone who is struggling with their mental health and needs a safe and supportive environment to heal.

This was the worst rehab I've ever been to and they kicked me out for fratirnizing with another client but they didn't kick her out and they left me stranded 1000 miles away from my hometown and no money no where to go or sleep and no transportation! So i went there for help with drugs and left worst than when i got there and the place is a joke and they just want ur insurance money!!! They don't care about you or your health cause they did they wouldn't have done that to me!!!! I wouldn't recommend them go to a real rehab like LEGACY HEALING Center and stay in a mansion and eat gourmet food not a old run down apt building and prison food like FCRC
