Medically supervised detox

How Cardinal Recovery Treats Addiction

For substances that require safe medical management during withdrawal, Cardinal Recovery provides clinically supported detox. Our team monitors withdrawal around the clock and uses evidence-based protocols to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible through the process. [Link: /detox/]

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our PHP is structured day treatment with intensive therapy and medical oversight. It provides a high level of clinical support while allowing you to return home in the evenings. PHP is typically the step after detox for people who need intensive care without 24-hour residential placement. [Link: /treatment/partial-hospitalization-rehab-program-indiana/]

Structured Outpatient Program

Dual diagnosis treatment

Many people struggling with addiction are also living with a co-occurring mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, or borderline personality disorder. Cardinal Recovery treats both in the same plan. Addressing only the addiction while leaving the mental health condition untreated is one of the most common reasons people struggle to stay well.

Aftercare and recovery support

Treatment does not end when a program ends. Cardinal Recovery provides aftercare planning and ongoing recovery support to help you maintain the progress made during treatment and build the routines and relationships that support long-term sobriety. [Link: /treatment/aftercare/]
