Indiana Center for Recovery Bloomington

If life feels overwhelming, whether that means stepping away from alcohol, stimulants, opioids, or the mental health struggles that often come with them, no one has to carry it alone. As the network's first location, the team continues to set the bar, offering detox and residential treatment for substance use, mental health, and dual diagnosis. Newsweek has named Indiana Center for Recovery one of America's Best Treatment Centers every year since 2021.

Shape Care around Each Story

After a medical and emotional assessment, the team builds a plan around each client's history, symptoms, and goals, blending best-practice therapies rather than following a one-size-fits-all track. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused care work through the thought patterns and triggers driving each client's struggles, while dedicated art therapy, music therapy, and equine outings calm and fortify the body and mind.

Settle into Comfort and Connection

Clients stay in private or shared rooms with shared bathrooms, air conditioning, and a TV for downtime. Between sessions, they unwind over bowling, arcade games, ping pong, and a Finnish sauna, or head outdoors for basketball and volleyball, with off-site trips for horseback riding and rock climbing. Chef-prepared meals along with on-site laundry and housekeeping mean less to manage each day, while transportation from across Monroe County smooths the transition.

Plan for Life Ahead

Before discharge, the team builds a plan connecting each client to next steps, often continuing care at the same location through partial hospitalization, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), or weekly outpatient therapy rather than starting over somewhere new. Relapse-prevention planning maps out strategies for high-risk moments, while an active alumni program keeps the door open with regular events and get-togethers for graduates who want to stay connected after treatment ends.
