About River Bend Hospital

River Bend Hospital is an acute psychiatric hospital for adults in West Lafayette, Indiana. They provide inpatient care for people who are struggling with serious mental illnesses, including depression, psychosis, and bipolar disorder. Their treatments may also extend to co-occurring disorders, including drug and alcohol addiction. They accept self pay, commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Financial assistance is available.

Their treatment goal is to help you stabilize your mood, improve your physical function, and make it easier for you to concentrate and communicate. They’ll also show you how to control your impulses and think in a more organized way. Their multidisciplinary team includes doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, and nursing professionals.

When you stay here, you’ll be monitored round the clock in a secure, medically staffed environment. You’ll go through daily evaluations with your psychiatrist. You’ll also participate in routine medical checkups.

When you first contact their office, they’ll ask you a few questions to make sure you’re a good fit for their program. While you can refer yourself for services, most people are referred to this facility by their primary care physician, mental health doctor, law enforcement, or a similar official.

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.

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.

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

When removing addictive substances from your body under the care of licensed medical professionals, the process is called medically assisted detox. Once you've become physically dependent on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, quitting can be uncomfortable or even dangerous. To minimize risks to your health and overall discomfort, a team of medical professionals monitors you 24/7 and provides medications if necessary (like Suboxone or methadone) to ease potential symptoms of withdrawal.

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.

Group Theraphy

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.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Feelings of withdrawal and intense cigarette cravings make quitting smoking difficult. Nicotine replacement therapy can double your chances of long term success. This therapy provides a small amount of nicotine, so you can slowly wean yourself off this addictive substance.

Check icon Accreditations

Encountered one doctor with a bad attitude, he was not willing to listen to my side of the story. They only tried to thrust medication on me without trying to offer me any kind of real therapy.

My ex went there for a visit, he went in after shattering my glass door and saying I was lucky it wasn t my face, while in there he became personal with another man there to the point they were wrestling buddies in there and once released. Still attempted to off himself 3 times from his release date from these guys as well.

If I could give less than a one star I would. My son went there voluntarily and felt like a prisoner. He said he talked to other patients and was told that they were being treated the same . He told his dad and I that there was only one person that treated him like an actual person. That place was so much better back in the 80's when they actually treated people the way they should be treated. DON'T GO THERE FOR HELP. MEDICAL FACILITIES DON'T SEND PATIENTS THERE, PLEASE

Bit of misinformation thrown by some social workers about trauma being overblown in today's world and denying my trauma. But still an ok place if you're OK with this treatment; besides the aforementioned you get treated like a human. Place is a cakewalk compared to some hospitals in Detroit and the bigger one in town.

Terrible place and terrible people. They give out cocktails of drugs without having a clue what kind of effect they will have on a person's body. The staff here is malicious. Stay far, far away. I'm almost certain that the staff here means nothing but ill intent for its patients. I am not interested in following up with my concerns. This is a warning.

Please please remind yourself that people normally review negative comments than compliments first. Everyone story is different and I m very sorry to those who did have a bad outcome. I left Riverbend without any traumatic experiences. Staff was so kind to me and met my needs.The psychiatrist currently is amazing he really did listen to my needs. Before I was begging every facility across Indiana for therapy and the social worker immediately set up an intake at Valley Oaks. I m grateful I went to Riverbend spite the negative comments, I don t think I wouldn t be here if I didn t get the help I needed.

My son's grandpa is dying. He drove 5 hours with my 2 yr old granddaughter to see him. They called security to kick them out because they said nobody under 14 can be there. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! HE'S DYING and they have an issue with family being around!!!!! I hope they get the same treatment when it's a family member of theirs!!
