This nonprofit center offers residential and
outpatient care for adults, adolescents, and pregnant women facing addiction, trauma, depression, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Staff address alcohol and drug use through therapy, medication support, and structured daily care.
Regional Health Systems East Chicago uses therapies like
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), and trauma-related counseling. Medication-assisted treatment (
MAT) includes suboxone, vivitrol, and naltrexone. Clients participate in individual, group, and family therapy. The center also integrates mental health services, relapse prevention groups, and 12-Step facilitation to support long-term recovery.
Clients stay in a structured residential setting for up to 28 days, receiving daily counseling, medication support, and discharge planning. The program prepares individuals to transition into outpatient care or housing services and continue recovery while reconnecting with family, school, or community life.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Regional Health Systems East Chicago provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
