About Headwaters Counseling

Headwaters Counseling is a not for profit behavioral health and substance abuse treatment facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, just south of Reservoir Park. They help at risk clients achieve stability and increase their quality of life through counseling and outreach services. They accept clients of all ages. The staff takes a team approach to treatment to deliver the best treatment services for each client. Treatment plans are individualized for each client and include care coordination. Services they offer include:

An outpatient program allows clients to live at home and visit the facility on a regular treatment schedule. The outpatient program at Headwaters Counseling is focused on therapy, which follows the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) models. Outpatient programs can be used as a transitional step following patient treatment or as a starting point for those with mild symptoms.

EMDR is a specialized type of therapy believed to promote emotional healing. Using eye movements that mimic rapid eye movement (REM) that occurs during sleep, clients are asked to think of a negative or traumatic memory. EMDR strives to help clients relieve stress and healthily process these memories.

Headwaters Counseling recognizes that people in need don’t always reach out for various reasons. Outreach services deliver social and care services throughout the community in a number of locations to increase ease of access.

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.

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.

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

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.

Such a pleasant place with an assuring atmosphere. Patients can trust in their counselors and open up about their issues. The waiting room is sometimes crowded, but I don't care, it is still worth it.

Terrible receptionists. Talk over you and short with you for no reason. Patience i guess is a virtue. Headwaters is brand new to me and i am not impressed. My previous therapists office had a very cordial receptionist. With headwaters ive only made a few phone calls to the front desk and every time i do not like the person on the other end. I value customer service. Its all about the service i receive and when you do not have that on the front lines im done. I pursue headwaters for only the therapist named samantha. Its a shame they have terrible customer service. Intake is amazing liked her a lot.

I had Paige as my therapist and she was amazing. Very easy to talk to and didnt force the direction of the topics. Our conversations would flow smoothly and she could steer me toward what was really bothering me. I dont know if I would be here today without her.

So I started seeing a therapist about 15 months ago because I just wasn't where I needed to be in life. I had made some questionable choices and because of those I was heading down a dark road, much darker than I even realized at the time. I had no idea what to expect; who else would be there, how is this person going to judge me, what if they see me at the store, are they going to be thinking, really how much longer is this hour? I am going to get asked questions I don't want to talk about, what if I start crying, is that going to be uncomfortable? And every other possible scenario went through my head on the way there.I have never once felt judged, or looked down upon, or felt uncomfortable. I was able to talk about what I needed to without having to explain myself every time I wanted to say something. I was able to ask what I wanted without feeling ashamed of myself or my situation. My therapist didn't push for more than I wanted to share, she was able to give me articles to read, and topics to research. I wasn't told to do this or that, it was always a discussion, and we were able to talk through different situations that could be related to mine.I have learned so much about myself and how to react when situations occur, and the reason why some of my reactions are what they are. I have learned that my mental health is just as important as my physical health and my emotional health. I have learned it's ok to have an opinion and to not sway from those. I learned that just because I ignore the problem it doesn't go away or get better, I have learned to face uncomfortable conversations and that not everything has to be explained.I have been given the resources and have taken the time and have built a new foundation for my life. A solid foundation of self worth and self love, sounds cliche but it is what it is. There are no words to express my gratitude for the services I have received from Headwaters counseling.

Response from the owner3 years ago
