For over 50 years, Regional Mental Health Center Outpatient Merrillville has provided wraparound addiction and co-occurring disorder services in Merrillville, Indiana. Adults, youth, pregnant women, and parenting women can access proven therapeutic interventions to sustain recovery.

This nonprofit behavioral health facility serves as a federally qualified health center for Northwest Indiana communities. That said, you’ll benefit from affordable, accessible care. Anyone can request services with or without a referral or insurance. They provide financial assistance based on your unique situation. You may be eligible for discounted fees based on family size and income.

Whether you’re stepping down from residential rehab or starting your recovery journey, they provide intensive and standard outpatient programs to meet your needs. You can access a tailored treatment plan that accounts for your recovery goals. They offer treatment best practices, including individual and group therapy, medication assisted treatment (MAT) with Suboxone or Vivitrol, co-occurring disorder care and discharge planning.

For me, their discharge planning process really stands out. You can access assistance with figuring out your next steps to promote long term recovery. They offer relapse prevention groups to help you recognize triggers and manage them in healthy ways. You and your family can also benefit from support and education. That way, your family can deeply understand recovery and gain the tools to support themselves and you throughout this journey.

Another incredible feature is their specialized programs. They recognize the significance of gender, diversity, mental health and community reintegration in recovery. You’ll benefit from tailored care to address these factors and seamlessly transition to life after rehab.
