About Midwest Center for Youth and Families

If your children have mental or behavioral problems, then Midwest Center for Youth and Families may be what they need to get back on their feet. It’s a residential center in Kouts, Indiana. They help girls ages 10-18 and boys from 12-18. If your income isn’t that high, they do accept Indiana Medicaid.

When your kids are admitted, they’ll get a range of therapy options to help tackle any behavioral issues. There’s the traditional therapy done in groups and with individuals, and there’s also learning through art, music, taking care of horses, and even a ropes course. Family meetings are held on weekends, and they’ll have parenting classes and assistance for you and other adult caregivers. That way, you’ll have better communication with your kids. And in case you’re wondering, they don’t restrain their clients, even if they get rowdy.

In addition, they’ll provide a stable setting where your kids can recover. School is offered in the primary and secondary grades with accredited teachers. They’ll hang out with their own age groups and build up their socializing and teamwork skills. If they need extra help, the school year can be extended to get them that extra boost. All meals and nutrition are provided. Nurses are standing by 24/7 just in case of an emergency. The length of stay is usually at least 30 days.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

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.

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.

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

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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 would love to give this more stars and will update as we continue our adventure into getting our daughter healthy. They are very interested in communicating with you on intake, but when it comes to understanding anything once your child arrives- nobody cares to explain. It is a colossal disorganization once they get there you basically get kicked off by the intake person and sit and wait for others. While we spoke with two last night? The voicemail I have has someone harshly speaking to my daughter about her fathers number. I confirmed the phone list- too bad no one can simply take his number from me? So less than 24 hours and the nightmare starts. Update- this facility keeps losing stars and I wish I could give them a zero for their ineffective communication. The therapist our daughter has, is using her agenda in the world. There are policies in place they cannot provide, will not provide, they also do not care about parents, parent involvement- and when they do "they must you" meaning you must call. There are the words "highly encouraged" not must. I am tired of the run around, I am tired of calling and hearing ridiculousness. I want a decent therapist to compliment the awesome nursing staff. I was given even CEO contact- clearly he too is too busy for concerns. We want our daughter healthy and well, but will not compromised our standards, our expectations on communication, and will no longer tolerate rudeness. This needs to end with our child getting better instead of a therapist with a big head.

A very important and helpful facility. Writing as a parent. The therapy and psych staff were knowledgeable, helpful and kind. (Cheers for Dr. Doug Jarvis and therapist Lindsey Janiga!) The floor staff for daily/nightly support and safety were experienced, firm and supportive. Unfortunately, staff are often overworked because of lack of available hires, and as a result they are sometimes unable to respond to parents immediately, despite best efforts. However, we worked hard to collaborate and support the DBT work, and the results were worth it; recognizing triggers, improving relationships, and using better strategies to cope.

I give zero stars because they need staff who aren t there for just money. I was a kid in Midwest for a month and it was horrible. The staff do not care and take time for their patients. They are not understanding and don t really wanted to work with the kids that need help. This place feels more like a punishment. They don t focus on Dbt as much as they say they do. Only durning med pass are we to look in are journals for only 15 minutes. The kids that are of higher level of stress and non regulation are treated so poorly and different which causes them to lash out and make the decision they do. There s only one doctor which is a big problem, there are many kids in my unit while needed to see him daily because of there medications and he wasn t there everyday( one doctor for every unit). Jarvis would touch the upper part of my knee and squeeze it making me extremely uncomfortable. He would also touch my hair and my thigh. When I first got there and had to squat and pee he made and inappropriate comment that caused the nurse and staff to exit the room. It traumatized me it did not help me cope with my emotions. I saw a patient stab someone in the class room and still got out a week later as well. Not to mention the air in there was terrible. My knuckles would bleed so much that s how crack they were and so would my chest and legs. There s only community showers as well, foot fungus was a thing. ITS DISGUSTING! They don t have people clean the bathrooms and check for contraband throughly. They do not care about the patients they care about the money they get from the patients intake.

I was at Midwest from October 5th, 2023 to November 17th, 2023. I had the worst time there, I did try. There are physical holds, that can hurt many kids; and it leaves bruising. I was put in a hallway, that was cold; didn't have anything to keep me warm. Most of the teachers there do not care about anyone but themselves.. Why I say that is because of the disrespect I received while being there. There's always constant drama, and never ending blaming. Being there just ruined my mental health even more, and it caused me to have a traumatic event with residentials. The only thing I worked forward to was seeing teacher Jess, and another staff. I wish I had never gone there. They treat you like you're in jail, and the room situations were awful. There was this one staff that thought she was on top of the world, and saying "what" to her was very disrespectful. I was on East unit, then went to South unit. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! It should be shut down for half the stuff they do to the kids.
