About Resource Treatment Center
The Resource Treatment Center offers residential treatment for children and adolescents living with a variety of behavioral health disorders and substance abuse. The center provides a secure and structured environment for addressing the underlying emotional issues and trauma that contribute to their substance use. It’s out in Indianapolis, Indiana.
What’s great about the residential center is that young clients can experience a sense of normalcy, which is beneficial to healing and recovery. In a non-threatening environment, you’re evaluated with various proven assessment tools to find the best therapies for your individual needs. Residential treatment for substance use may include medication management, individual and group therapy, family therapy, and school programming where you spend a few hours a day in a traditional school setting. Their counseling for youths takes various evidence-based approaches including cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies and motivational interviewing.
A real benefit of their program is the variety of experiential therapies that support recovery and create a well-rounded environment. Examples of experiential therapies include community volunteering, student council, youth group ministry, recreational group therapy, community outings, NA meetings, empowerment groups for girls, and special ceremonies celebrating successes.
Finally, they provide care for young clients who may require extended support on their recovery journey. They have several gender-specific group homes that provide a homelike setting where residents can receive treatment and build resilience and independent living skills for an easy transition when they return home.

Terrible moral compass and no integrity. I applied in the spring, went thru all the hurdles, and they told me they wanted a felony charge dropped to start working. I did just that over the summer (no felonies) and they sent me an offer letter after another interview in the fall. I had to go thru all the hurdles of a drug test physical etc a second time and they promised me I could start work.3 weeks after completing all required material they inform me they are withdrawing their offer for a misdemeanor they knew I had in the spring. It's not a big deal if it keeps me from working I understand companies have policies, but they neglected to mention it was an issue in the spring and led me on all year with lots of hours spent getting them paperwork etc. They should have mentioned it, not sent me a second offer letter and made me go thru all that work, or worked with me bc my only record is 1 misdemeanor. I passed the DCS background check and the drug test. This company was incompetent and biased and prevented me from getting an income all of October by leading me on. I will be suing them for discrimination and pay interference.Look else where for employment and therapy. They are a dishonest bunch

I can't express enough the gratitude to RTC. No court order was involved, it was all voluntary on both my part and my granddaughters. I was at one of my lowest points and worried sick. It was an extremely hard decision.From day one, not only was my granddaughter getting the help she needed but so was I. It didn't matter what time of day I called or what department I called, someone was always there to listen and help me understand and yes, let me cry. We have a long way to go still but she's still alive.A few shout outs,Marva Lewis-TherapistKaitlin Shoemaker-Therapy SupervisorElaine Sullivan-Clinical DirectorAll of the RN's on ALL shiftsAll of the staff on ALL shiftsI appreciate each and every one of you!Susan May aka "Nana"

Thank you! We appreciate your review, and we remain committed to providing superior service that makes a lasting positive difference.
I was here in the 2011-2012 I believe ... They didn't care back then so I highly doubt they care now. Riots fights not allowed to call family and let them know what was going on . The fact that judges are still court ordering children to be here or danar is pathetic. The amount of PTSD I received while being here is crazy. I still go through stuff today bc of what I experienced

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Inpatient 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.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Sober Living Homes Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
Treatments
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 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 (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 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.
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.
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. Family therapy sessions are held at least every two weeks, but may occur more often if family members are local or request more sessions.
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. Group therapy sessions are held at a minimum of once per day, but children may participate in more groups depending on their specific needs.
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. Youth in the PRTF program will see a psychiatrist on a weekly basis while those in the RTC program see a psychiatrist on a monthly basis.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
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.
