Unprofessional and disrespectful staff, I don't think they realize the importance they have in this process, I think they don't care about your recovery, they want the money.
About Parkview Behavioral Health Institute – Park Center
Parkview Behavioral Health Institute – Park Center is a nonprofit community based health system in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They welcome adults battling addiction and mental health conditions. You’ll have access to several types of addiction treatment including residential, intensive outpatient, standard outpatient services and aftercare. They offer flexible payment options including private insurance, self pay, Medicaid and Medicare. You may also be eligible for financial assistance depending on your situation.
Their programs are available to all but prioritize certain high risk populations. They strive to serve pregnant women first along with clients who inject substances. If you fit into these populations then they aim to provide admission and treatment within 48 hours of inquiry.
They’ll work with you to help you find care that best fits your situation. Each program offers proven therapeutic interventions in group and individual sessions. You can also participate in specialized medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction.
One thing that stands out to me is their intensive outpatient program’s phases of care. You’ll start by focusing on addiction education to understand the contributing factors to your situation and build self-esteem, self-awareness and essential interpersonal skills. The next phase implements therapeutic intervention to bring awareness to how addiction has affected you and your loved ones and empower you to make changes. Aftercare is the last step. This phase provides free ongoing support and assists you with applying what you’ve learned to sustain recovery.
Another key feature is their emphasis on family inclusion. They strongly encourage the active participation of your loved ones in your journey. I love this approach because they recognize that addiction doesn’t just affect the individual. Including your family in treatment provides a safe space to learn, heal and grow together.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
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 Rehab
Inpatient rehab provides intensive, round-the-clock care and is designed primarily for clients who have just completed detox, those in early recovery, and those at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment typically includes extensive psychotherapy that draws on various modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Clients also learn the recovery-focused life skills needed to promote sustained recovery. Many inpatient drug rehabs also offer evidence-based holistic therapies like meditation, yoga, massage, and experiential therapy.
Intensive 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.

Treatment
Dual 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
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive 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.
Group 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.
Individual 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.
Family 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.
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.
