Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder

Supporting behavioral health and individuals with substance use disorder

Community Health Network offers the most comprehensive behavioral healthcare system in Indiana, including inpatient and outpatient services for youth (ages 5-18), adults and seniors. With more adults and youth feeling the impact of the pandemic, the need to identify and treat those suffering from anxiety, depression, suicide ideation and substance use is paramount. Through evidence-based treatment, recovery programs, and education, Community Fairbanks Recovery Center offers a full continuum of substance use disorder care for adults and an outpatient program for adolescents. Programs funded by the foundation will expand access to care and help reduce barriers to wellness.

Donor-Funded Programs

Behavioral Health Crisis Relief Fund

More and more U.S. adults report having feelings of anxiety or depression, ideating suicide or increasing substance use since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Foundation, in partnership with Community behavioral health leadership, has created a special behavioral health crisis relief fund to help meet greatest needs now and into the future, with a goal to expand access to care through immediate relief and to help reduce barriers to wellness for patients through a range of assistance programs, including rental assistance, help with food and medication or the cost of Wi-Fi for virtual visits, and more.

CHOICE

Since 2015, Community Health Network has offered the CHOICE program for the treatment of substance use disorders in women from pregnancy through and beyond delivery, with holistic, compassionate and non-judgmental care customized to every woman. The vision is for CHOICE to expand to include a Residential Recovery Center to treat moms without asking them to separate from their children by accommodating up to two children, aged five or younger. The American Society of Addiction Medicine identifies this type of clinically managed residential service as a best practice. Community’s vision prepares moms for sustainable recovery in a phased journey. Residential recovery provides orientation to and motivation for recovery; emotion regulation, parenting, communication and relationships skill-building; relapse prevention; and a safe space to practice these skills, supporting moms as they demonstrate that they can maintain recovery and graduate from the program.

Community Fairbanks Recovery Center

Community Fairbanks Recovery Center, a substance use treatment center focused on helping people live in recovery, knows that the- growing problem of drug and alcohol addiction affects entire families. By working with the community, healthcare partners, advocates and supporters, Community Fairbanks brings hope and healing to more than 18,000 individuals and families annually, right here in Central Indiana. Through evidence-based treatment,
recovery programs, and education, Community Fairbanks offers a full continuum of care for adults and an outpatient program for adolescents.

Services include:

• Community Fairbanks Recovery Lodge – Offers gender-specific residential programs to help those with complex recovery issues stay in recovery and regain self-sufficiency. Here, residents learn to build a solid foundation for recovery in a private, residential setting. During a resident’s stay, the lodges teach life skills, provide recovery tools and instill values that are necessary for a life in recovery in a peaceful, private setting.
• Recovery Housing – Transitioning from in- to outpatient treatment or recovery management, this program provides a safe, sober environment to practice life skills and sustain recovery. Returning home after treatment is not always an option for individuals in recovery who often need to repair relationships, have transportation challenges to daily outpatient programming, previously lived in a toxic environment or may have no home at all. In addition to a sober space, supportive living offers a structured setting where individuals can develop and practice life skills, while solidifying the foundation of early recovery.
• Patient Assistance – One of the most significant barriers to accessing treatment is cost. Community Fairbanks strives to ensure treatment is available to all who seek help by providing financial assistance to those who are otherwise unable to pay. Reducing barriers to treatment provides long-term benefits to the larger community by ensuring those who need treatment receive it regardless of their socio-economic status. Community Fairbanks provides this essential care under very tight margins. Community Fairbanks’ partnership with Community strengthens its business model, so donations have the best chance to fund truly sustainable recovery programming into the future.
• Alumni Programs – Community Fairbanks’ alumni programs welcome anyone who has graduated from programming at Community Fairbanks. This free group of recovery-focused individuals meets regularly for fun activities, workshops and events, all while alumni on their journeys to long-term recovery. Through ongoing education, fellowship and service opportunities, members stay connected to recovery. This full continuum of care is critical, as research indicates the longer individuals stay connected to recovery, the more likely they are to live successfully in long-term recovery. Further, alumni programs offer family programs to provide ongoing support to both clients and their loved ones.
