- Inpatient in Indianapolis, IN
Recovery Centers of America at Indianapolis
If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or other mental health challenges, you deserve care that meets you where you are. In Marion County, tens of thousands of adults experience mental healthconditions and addiction, and research shows a large portion of those needs go untreated without accessible, high-quality care within reach.
Recovery Centers of America at Indianapolis is The Joint Commission-accredited, CARF ASAM certified, and offers comprehensive residential and outpatient treatment options for both addiction and primary mental health, grounded in science and delivered with the respect and dignity you deserve. Our Indianapolis team is made up of compassionate experts who understand what you’re going through and help you build strength and stability.
Your Personal Recovery Journey
Your story and experiences with addiction and mental health challenges are uniquely yours and deeply personal. You deserve dignity, kindness, and evidence-based treatment that honors your unique story.
At our Indianapolis treatment center, we understand that behind every substance use disorder or mental illness is a person seeking freedom–someone who desires to reclaim their authentic self, rebuild meaningful relationships, and rediscover their life’s purpose. That person may be you.
Understanding Addiction and Mental Health
Addiction and mental health challenges can affect daily life in different ways—sometimes together, sometimes on their own. Physical symptoms may disrupt routines, while emotional struggles like anxiety or depression can quietly take a toll on relationships, work, and overall stability. These are not moral failings, but medical conditions that deserve understanding, care, and effective treatment.
Just as important are the internal issues people carry, feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, alone, or doubtful that things can improve. These feelings are common and understandable, especially when someone has been trying to cope for a long time.
Healing is possible when treatment addresses the whole person—mind, body, and circumstances—without judgment or barriers.
Addiction and Mental Health Trends in Indiana
According to recent data, Indiana continues to feel the impact of substance use and mental health challenges across the state and in Indianapolis.
- Indiana’s overdose death rate remains slightly above the national average, at roughly 34 deaths per 100,000 residents, underscoring continued risk across the state.
- Marion County and Indianapolis continue to monitor overdose patterns andemerging substances, reflecting how substance use trends can change quickly at a local level.
- Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia affect 1M adults, often alongside substance use challenges, increasing the need for coordinated, evidence-based care.
- Research consistently shows that integrated treatment addressing both addiction and mental health leads to better outcomes, especially for individuals experiencing symptoms in both areas.

Understanding that intricacy allows your care to be more thoughtful, effective, and responsive to what you really need.
Many members of our team bring both professional training and experience to their work, offering a balance of clinical expertise and genuine empathy.

Why Seeking Treatment Matters
Addiction is a medical condition that tends to become more difficult over time without care and support. When treatment is delayed, physical and emotional risks can increase.
Potential physical impacts:
- Increased risk of overdose or medical emergencies
- Long-term effects on organs such as the liver, heart, or brain
- Greater vulnerability to infections
- Worsening mental health symptoms like depression or anxiety
Life impacts can also build overtime:
- Strain on relationships with family, friends, or loved ones
- Legal or financial challenges that add stress and uncertainty
- Difficulty maintaining work, school, or long-term goals
Seeking treatment now can help reduce these risks and create space for healing, stability, and change. Support is most effective when it begins sooner—but help is always, and it’s never too late to start.
