Our Mental Health
Service Philosophy

Indiana Center for Recovery’s outpatient program services place emphasis on total wellness. That means that we attend to every area of our client’s well-being to ensure they feel enriched on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and personal.

From the start, patients move through intake with a complete, compassionate assessment of their needs prior to starting our programs. By understanding the unique strengths and challenges they bring to the therapeutic process, we can form an individualized treatment plan designed to give them the best results and most comfortable experience of care.

We believe that no two people—and therefore conditions—are the same. As a result, we tailor each mode of treatment to the person in front of us because we know your health depends on getting the personal, in-depth attention you need to get better and become resilient. Behavioral health services are better for it.

Integrated Medicine

Integrating medicine into mental health condition care means taking a look at all the systems of the body to see how they contribute to how you are feeling, thinking, and behaving. 

Many people who struggle with depression, for example, also experience chronic pain; and, some who deal with posttraumatic stress disorder can have sustained injuries during a traumatic event. Being able to treat the whole person in one healthcare setting allows us to make the most of the treatment experience for patients who are looking for relief—however they can find it—from illness—wherever they may hide in the body. 

Because our specialists are trained to appreciate the interconnectedness of medicine, they are better able to treat patients with precise therapies that improve their overall outlook and recovery time.

Co-occurring conditions like PTSD and depression or anxiety and substance use disorder are common to the American experience of mental health issues, illnesses, and disease. 

When one condition is successfully managed, the other can swing in to take progress back from the patient and set them back to where they began. But, when both conditions are attended to through coordinated, complete medicine and care—patients make speedy, satisfied recoveries that impress them and their loved ones. 

You may not realize you currently have a co-occurring condition (or dual diagnosis) that has made previous medication, therapy, and counseling or support ineffective until now.

Pain is a frequent feature of the experience of mental illness. The image of the mentally ill is one who is suffering in pain and agony over thoughts of harm, worry, and disaster.

This is not always the case. Sometimes the pain can be quite literal, manifesting itself in the body in unexpected ways that disrupt different areas of life and wellness. These include digestion, weight, fitness, energy, and especially the physical feeling of anguish. Treatment can ease these pains simply by addressing the core cause of the ailment and illness.

Pain can be managed in mental health treatment through meditation as well as specific therapies, medications, support groups, and more.

People who live with disabilities often experience the biggest block from receiving exceptional mental health services that actually help them to improve their lives for good.

We offer services that are so holistic and full, any patient can benefit from our services. No matter the existence of a physical limit or mental obstacle that has hindered them from seeking treatment in the past. We are here to offer careful and compassionate treatment to all without the usual limits.

Psychotherapy Options

Outpatient therapy is one of the most essential, effective, and difficult to access treatments available to those experiencing mental illness and substance abuse. 

By being able to speak to someone, perhaps for the first time, you can share intimate thoughts and profound feelings that make a difference in your perception of the world around you. As you explore your own ideas about yourself, your relationships, and your feelings—you may start to see how things can change for the better.

We offer individual, group, and family therapy options in almost every mode to suit any condition, identity, and need for change that positively responds to talk therapy.

Individual Counseling

Individual therapy is a supportive environment for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and ideas to stir change in your life. You can use the time to explore the past, plan the future, and understand what may be blocking you from currently achieving your wellness goals.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy uses bilateral stimulation of the eyes, hands, or ears to signal new pathways in the brain and unlock new connections. It allows you to move beyond your traumatic experiences with newfound hope and resilience.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance to effectively manage intense feelings and difficult stressors that trigger episodes for people who have not previously learned these skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy shows the connections between our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. It makes clear how behavior change is possible by starting with control over what we think and observing how that makes us feel, leading to profound changes in action.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other modes offered at Indiana Center for Recovery-Mishawaka in South Bend, focuses on how accepting a situation and committing to a course of action can lead to real, noticeable differences in how we feel and act.
