Heart icon Treatment at The Salvation Army – Fort Wayne

book iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

For long-term recovery from drug addiction, drug rehab in Indiana is often key. This treatment gives individuals who are struggling with a substance use disorder the tools to manage their disorder and achieve long-term sobriety.

prescription-bottle-pill iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

file-medical iconSubstance Abuse

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care at The Salvation Army – Fort Wayne

car-building iconOutpatient

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.

clipboard-medical iconMedically Assisted Detox

The residential sub-acute detoxification program provides medical intervention 24-hours a day, seven days a week for individuals who are in acute physical distress as a result of their alcohol or drug abuse. The Detoxification unit is staffed with state licensed and certified nursing personnel and is supervised by a licensed physician. Upon admission to the Detoxification unit, the nursing staff conducts a complete nursing assessment. The physician prescribes a medication regimen for the management of the client’s withdraw symptoms and health risks involved with the detoxification process. The length of stay is between 1-10 days determined by the type of substance used, amount used and the client’s physical condition. Each client receives a clinical assessment in order to link the client with additional services after completion of the Detoxification program.

house-medical iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Treatment services are designed to empower each client to remain abstinent from alcohol, drugs, and gambling. Services focus on improving psychological and social coping skills which result in the improvement in their quality of life. Intensive Outpatient services are a natural progression for those individuals who are stepping down from Detox, Residential Treatment, or who have been diagnosed with a serious substance dependence problem. The program offers eight to sixteen (8-16) weeks of cognitive-based group sessions, meeting three (3) times a week for three (3) hours. Groups are offered during day and evening hours to increase accessibility for clients.

bed-front iconInpatient

The Residential Treatment program offers a 14-day, 24-hour supervised living with highly structured addictions programming. The program consists of educational classes related to chemical dependency, and focuses on relapse and recovery skills. Programming is designed to teach basic recovery and life management skills to increase the individual’s ability to function effectively at home, work and socially. The RT program is enhanced with social and recreational activities, on-site 12-step meetings, family education, HIV education and testing, individual, group and spiritual counseling. Case management services link clients with community-based services to meet basic needs. On-site drug testing is routinely conducted.

house iconSober Living Homes

The Transitional Housing Program provides affordable housing to adult men and women ages 18+ who are in need of temporary housing. The program offers two types of living quarters semi-private and dorm style rooms with different rates available. Transitional Housing is a FIVE-PHASE program-process of change and development. Each phase is designed to help clients accomplish their goals and improve their overall success through structure accountability and tools for success. The goal of this program is to provide each individual with an opportunity to have a successful reintegration into the community by obtaining employment, private residence and/or community living. Each resident receives three meals, snacks, clean linen, access to an on-site computer lab and 12-step meetings. The Center provides for an additional fee on-site laundry services, substance abuse treatment, medical screening and case management. Case Management and referral services are provided to assist with training, employment and housing. The length of stay is between 30 to 180 days.

book-medical icon12-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).

truck-medical icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

house-medical iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

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. The family education program offers information on chemical dependency, treatment process, recovery skills, family involvement and provides support to families while the client is in treatment. Family members are given information on 12-step programs for their own recovery.

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.

Life Skills

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.

This place is horrible. Residents and staff going around cussing. Hard to get your medications and test your sugar levels.I put myself there and decided to leave. When I was leaving the resident manager asked me, who told you that you can leave. I said, I did. That question still confused me. I think his name is Jerry. I asked him if I could fill my water bottle up while I was waiting for my ride. He told me no. I asked him if he would do it he said no. I asked Geno to do it he said no.Mind you they claim to be a Christian organization. They must have forgotten the scripture: John 6:35. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.All they want to do is treat you like slaves working in extreme temperatures and not pay you but $3 a week for your work.Disgusting place and needs to shutdown

These people only want you to work and sort through their nasty clothes for 48 hours a week. I physically couldn't do it because of an injury I have and they kicked me out. They are there to help they just want people to work for them. I came to them wanting help and if I couldn't help them they couldn't help me. Nothing's free. After being there the salvation army is all about benefiting themselves and not helping the people in need it has to profit themselves. Overall I met some really good people but unless you're willing to work More than a full time job and be told what and when you can do anything then I'd avoid it.

After only one week of the six month program my son is doing better then he ever has! It's terribly hard to find rehab when you don't have insurance. They have taken him in and shown great deal of love, understanding and kindness. To my surprise he is looking forward to his own growth as he plans to stay the whole six months. Logan has a 100 percent turn around of attitude in only one week! Crazy good, highly recommend!!
