Hello, I'm batpoop crazy but I've been going to serenity now off n on now for 13+ years. I've had ups n downs, good and bad experiences. Therapists are always great, my current therapist makes me feel welcome n not like a patient. All my therapists over the years have been great. I've not dealt with Dr Eckerd much and I've never seen the other lady bc I don't get meds. Great for therapy and counseling.

Dr.John Eckard doesn't listen and I had a terrible experience. I was suffering. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Only thing good about it was my therapist she was very understanding. Now I understand why there are so many bad reviews about this place . I've never given a bad review about anyone or place in my life. Think twice about going there. I have canceled all future appointments and let them know how I feel about it .

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
If you need some flexibility and choice when it comes to your recovery, outpatient rehab programs are a great option because they do not require intensive inpatient treatment. Clients remain in their own homes and may continue to work or attend school while in active treatment. Outpatient treatment typically includes addiction counseling and continuing recovery education, including courses in self-care and relapse prevention. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available in many treatment centers for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
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.
12-step icon12-Step
12 step programs foster participants' long-term sobriety through personal growth rooted in spiritual principles, though religious affiliation is not mandatory. Most 12 step meetings are non-denominational but are based on the belief in a higher power. Participants learn to understand and address the causes of their addiction, accept responsibility for their choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Regular group meetings and mentoring by a self-selected sponsor are required.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
When families plan a drug intervention in Indiana, the goal is to create self-awareness in their loved one, so they acknowledge the need for treatment and get help. A professional interventionist can work with the individual's family members to organize this intervention and provide direction for follow-up. During the intervention, loved ones share how the individual's substance abuse has affected them, and the interventionist adds a clinical perspective on how treatment can help the situation.

The goal of family therapy in Indiana is to empower family members to effectively support their loved one's recovery.

Qualified therapists in Indiana use a customized treatment approach for individual therapy to address your drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This considers your past history and life circumstances to help you uncover the underlying issues that trigger addictive behavior and manage these factors to support a healthy approach to recovery.

Group therapy provides a unique experience for men and women to encounter a supportive environment where you can share your experiences and gain insight from your peers who understand your struggles. Group therapy improves your journey and helps promote sustainable recovery.

desert iconMotivational interviewing

If I could give a zero I would!! Worst place for someone who has severe mental health and needing help!! They are to strict on the attendance and don t work with anyone. You explain the situation but it doesn t matter to them!! I canceled late due to emergencies I had, the. The last time I lost my phone and was unable to due my telehealth appointment. They tell you they are with you for thirty days after being discharged but they can t help due to you being removed from receiving the help you need. Also they can cancel on you the last minute for any reason but when it s the other way around, it s a bath record for you!! It has also been hard to get refill on medication I need u til I can find somewhere else to get the help I need!! I really wish someone would deal with this place!! Reasons like this are why people don t feel comfortable getting help and instead take their own life to be free and at peace!! It seems like the better option!

This place gatekeeps medical care. I have a known psychiatric diagnosis that needs medication to manage. Their hours are not helpful to anyone that works and I had a work emergency as a nurse come up that prevented me from attending a therapy session. Because of their policy that you must see a therapist twice before they will let you see the NP for medication I am now waiting another month before I get the care I need after I was already waiting since February because they take so long to get into.

It's a very good place to go. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they allow for virtual appointments so it makes it easier sometimes to make the appointment. The therapist in the doctor work together so that you can get the medication and the help that you need. I have already recommended it to several people. It's a great place.

I ve been seeing Dr Eckard for 8 years now & I decided to leave his office. I was very close to him until a couple months ago. He accused me of drinking alcohol when all my drug screens were clean. He wouldn t give me a chance to talk to him, he started yelling at me. I ve never been an alcoholic & he even admitted that he had never noticed me being intoxicated. He decided to take me off my medications, that he was giving me for 8 years. It really hurt my feelings that he wouldn t believe me after them years of knowing me very well. I also lost my counselor because he got a new job. I lost all trust from this place.
