Life Recovery Center

Life Recovery Center provides two levels of outpatient care for people in Indianapolis navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP is particularly well-suited for individuals transitioning out of residential treatment or those who need a more structured schedule to support early recovery without stepping away from daily life entirely.

Both programs are delivered through an outpatient clinic model, meaning clients continue living at home or in a sober living environment while engaging in regular treatment sessions. This approach supports the kind of community-connected recovery that builds lasting change — skills and relationships developed in the real world, with professional support close by.

The center serves adolescents and adults in Indianapolis, IN dealing with substance use disorders, mental health conditions, trauma and PTSD, and problem gambling. Addressing problem gambling alongside substance use is relatively uncommon in outpatient settings, and Life Recovery Center's inclusion of this specialty reflects its broader behavioral health focus rather than a narrow addiction-only model.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) drives the clinical work, helping clients recognize the connections between thoughts, behaviors, and the challenges that brought them to treatment. For families supporting a loved one through recovery, the center's telehealth options and after-hours support line mean that access to the care team is not limited to a single window of office hours each week.

Financial barriers are one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid seeking addiction treatment and outpatient programs. Life Recovery Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, state insurance, private insurance, self-pay and cash, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance — covering a wide range of situations for Indianapolis residents at different points in their lives and finances.

Online appointment requests and a patient portal further reduce friction for new and returning clients. Telehealth services extend the center's reach across Indianapolis for those who cannot easily travel to the North Hudson Street clinic. These practical features reflect a treatment model designed to meet people where they are in their recovery, not just when they can make it through the door.

Life Recovery Center holds accreditation from CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities), an internationally recognized standard that signals a commitment to quality in rehabilitation and behavioral health services. For people evaluating recovery centers and outpatient programs in Indianapolis, CARF accreditation provides an independent measure of the facility's clinical and operational standards.

Operating under Mental Health America of Indiana (MHAI), Life Recovery Center is connected to a broader behavioral health network in the state. This affiliation supports continuity of care and reflects the center's positioning as a long-term recovery partner — not just a single stop on the way to sobriety, but an ongoing resource for the Indianapolis recovery community.
