About Gilead House
Gilead House in Kokomo, Indiana offers residential treatment, outpatient, and intensive outpatient programs for adults navigating substance use recovery. The center specializes in serving women, seniors, court-ordered individuals, and those re-entering society from incarceration — with a mission grounded in real people making real change.
Gilead House is a substance use treatment center located at 406 East Sycamore Street in Kokomo, Indiana, serving Howard County and the surrounding region. Built around the belief that real people can make real change, Gilead House focuses on drug and alcohol addiction recovery and extends its reach to individuals re-entering society after jail or prison — a population that often falls through the cracks of traditional recovery systems.
The center offers three distinct levels of care: residential treatment for those who need structured, immersive support; a standard outpatient program for individuals maintaining daily responsibilities while working through recovery; and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that bridges the gap between residential care and full independence. This continuum means clients can step up or step down in care intensity as their recovery progresses, without having to start over at a new facility.
Gilead House treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that trauma and PTSD frequently intersect with substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a confirmed therapeutic method used at the center, providing clients with practical tools to identify and reshape the thought patterns that drive addictive behavior. The center accepts Medicaid, self-pay, and operates on a sliding scale fee structure, removing financial barriers that often delay people from entering treatment.
Gilead House specifically serves women, seniors and older adults, and individuals referred through the court system — populations whose recovery needs are often distinct and underserved by general-population programs. For families and individuals in the Kokomo area looking for a recovery center with a clear community mission and a range of care levels under one roof, Gilead House represents a grounded, accessible option for long-term substance abuse treatment.
Residential Treatment and Outpatient Programs in Kokomo, IN
Gilead House offers a full continuum of addiction treatment levels, from residential treatment through intensive outpatient and standard outpatient programming. This range of care matters for people in longer-term recovery — it means the same center that supports someone in the early, immersive phase of residential treatment can also support them as they transition back into daily life through an outpatient program.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Gilead House serves as a critical middle ground in the recovery journey, offering structured therapeutic support without requiring overnight residential stays. For individuals balancing work, family, or legal obligations, the IOP and outpatient program provide the continuity of care that sustains recovery beyond the initial treatment phase.
Dual Diagnosis and Trauma-Informed Substance Abuse Treatment
Gilead House treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, acknowledging that trauma and PTSD are frequently part of the picture for people seeking addiction treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used as a core therapeutic method, helping clients build practical skills to interrupt the cycles of thought and behavior connected to substance use.
For individuals whose addiction is intertwined with unresolved trauma or mental health challenges, this integrated approach to treatment means those underlying issues are addressed rather than set aside. It reflects a recovery center philosophy built for the long term, not just stabilization.
Who Gilead House Serves: Women, Seniors, and Justice-Involved Individuals
Gilead House has a defined focus on populations that are often underserved in traditional recovery settings. The center provides substance abuse treatment specifically for women, seniors and older adults, and individuals who are court-ordered into treatment. Each of these groups brings distinct recovery needs, and Gilead House's programming is structured to meet them.
A particularly meaningful part of the center's mission is supporting people re-entering society after incarceration. For justice-involved individuals, the path back to stable, sober living is rarely straightforward, and having a recovery center that explicitly serves this community is a meaningful differentiator in Howard County's treatment landscape.
Paying for Rehab at Gilead House: Medicaid, Sliding Scale, and Self-Pay
Financial barriers are among the most common reasons people delay or avoid entering addiction treatment. Gilead House accepts Medicaid and offers a sliding scale fee structure alongside self-pay options, making residential treatment and outpatient programs accessible to individuals across a range of financial situations.
Anyone interested in understanding costs or coverage options can reach the center directly at (765) 865-9427 or by email at [email protected]. The administrative office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
