Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Franklin, Indiana, Tara Treatment Center has been providing a warm, home-like environment where men and women can focus on healing from substance use disorder since 1985. Treatment combines evidence-based therapies, education, and 12-Step support with
holistic modalities like art therapy and yoga. Their approach is holistic, addressing the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of recovery, and they offer a full continuum of care to meet individuals wherever they are on their journey.
Tara's services for clients include sub-acute
detox, 24-hour residential care in gender-specific environments, day (PHP) treatment, intensive
outpatient (
IOP) care, transitional living for men, and aftercare connections. Their residential program typically lasts 30-42 days, depending on individual needs. Their day treatment runs as long as needed on Mondays through Thursdays in the evenings for 5 hours, suited for clients balancing treatment with work or family responsibilities. They hold their IOP on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, with educational programming integrated into sessions.
For clients who complete Tara's residential program, their transitional and
sober living programs encourage independence while maintaining a structured recovery environment, with opportunities for work, community involvement, and peer support. The tranquil campus offers walking paths, outdoor recreational activities, and comfortable accommodations designed to feel like home. Individuals begin to implement a higher level of self-accountability into their recovery as they attend meetings at the facility and participate in a combination of employment, community work, and social networking.
In addition to serving clients, Tara offers free, in-depth education and support for family and loved ones. The program helps loved ones understand the disease of addiction and the basic concepts of recovery. It also assists them in identifying the struggles of the client, while allowing them to work on their own personal growth.
