Treatment Programs & Levels of Care

Resource Treatment Center is a residential rehab center located in Indianapolis, Indiana, that serves adolescents and young adults ages 11-20. By offering a range of program options, we can meet the needs of individuals who are struggling with a variety of behavioral health concerns. 

Clinical disorders we treat include but are not limited to: 

• Bipolar disorder 
• Depression 
• Anxiety  
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
• Oppositional defiant disorder  
• Personality disorders 
• Reactive attachment disorder  
• Co-occurring substance use disorders  

In each of our programs, adolescents and young adults can receive focused care in a structured environment to help them make meaningful progress toward better health. Our programming is tailored to reflect each resident’s needs, which ensures that those in our care receive services that can help them achieve optimal outcomes.  

When creating each resident’s plan of care, we consider their symptoms, overall health history, preferences, and personal strengths to select the therapies and services that can offer them the greatest benefit. We also encourage their involvement in the planning process because we believe that collaboration between residents and their care team can yield positive results. 

The typical length of stay at our residential rehab center is six to nine months, but we work with each young person in our care to determine the program duration that best suits their needs. During their stay, residents have the opportunity to work with highly skilled and empathetic professionals. Our experts have extensive experience treating young people who are facing many different types of struggles, whether behavioral, mental, or emotional. 

Our multidisciplinary team includes: 

• Licensed clinical social workers 
• Licensed clinical mental health counselors 
• A psychiatrist 
• A psychiatric nurse practitioner 
• Behavioral health associates 
• Licensed practical nurses 
• Registered nurses 

We also employ a credentialed sexually abusive youth clinician (CSAYC) and professionals who have specialized training and certifications in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).  

Our facility offers a psychiatric residential treatment program (PRTF) for adolescents and young adults ages 11-20 whose struggles with behavioral health concerns have interfered with their ability to function on a day-to-day basis. 

In this program, we treat a variety of clinical disorders, including: 

• Anxiety  
• Bipolar disorder 
• Depression  
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) 
• PTSD 
• Trauma- and stressor-related disorders 

This level of care is designed for those who require a highly structured setting to regain control of their overall well-being. Residents receive intensive services from a highly attentive team of professionals to help them get on a path to better health and healing. 

Our general residential program provides treatment for young people ages 11-20 who are struggling with conduct disorder and other psychiatric diagnoses. Residential care can be an ideal fit for those who require live-in care to achieve their wellness goals. In this program, we provide round-the-clock support to help residents establish healthier behaviors and become the best, happiest versions of themselves. 

At our residential rehab center, we offer two specialized units for males ages 11-20 who need intensive support for sexually harmful behaviors. Male residents in the sexually maladaptive behaviors program work with master’s-level therapists who are also CSAYCs.  

In these units, we treat sexually harmful youths who have:  

• Conduct disorder with sexually harmful behaviors 
• Voyeuristic disorder 
• Exhibitionistic disorder 
• Frotteuristic disorder 
• Fetishistic disorder 
• Transvestic disorder 

The focused care we provide in this specialty program can be life-changing for young males who are struggling with sexually maladaptive behaviors. Our compassionate team delivers care that reflects the unique needs of our residents, helping them make positive behavior changes, develop valuable coping skills, and accept responsibility for their actions. 

We understand that some adolescents and young adults may require extended support on their healing journeys. For this reason, we are proud to offer a robust group home program for youths who can benefit from long-term care, a nurturing living environment, and 24/7 supervision. 

Our four group homes provide a comfortable, stable, and structured homelike setting where residents can learn essential independent living skills and how to fulfill responsibilities. Our goal is to help those who have developmental disabilities and behavioral health concerns build resiliency and prepare for a seamless transition back to their homes and communities after they leave the group home setting. 

At our facility, residents can expect to participate in highly personalized care. Each young person takes part in a thorough assessment at the time of admission that helps us better understand the challenges they are facing and how we can help them achieve their short- and long-term goals.  

Using the information we gather from this in-depth evaluation, we create a care plan that is tailored to each resident’s needs, strengths, and objectives. We believe that taking an individualized, holistic approach to care can help our residents overcome emotional, mental, and social struggles and begin to wholly heal. 

Depending on the needs of each resident, their care plan may include: 

• Basic medical care on an as-needed basis 
• Medication management services, which are offered at the time of admission and then monthly as needed 
• Weekly individual therapy sessions 
• Daily group therapy sessions 
• Biweekly family counseling sessions 

In our residential programs, we utilize an assortment of interventions and evidence-based practices that have proved effective in the treatment of behavioral health concerns. Our team believes that by incorporating a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities, we can help residents learn the skills they need to build a solid foundation for a brighter, happier future.  

Those in our care may benefit from the following therapies and techniques: 

• CBT 
• TF-CBT 
• DBT 
• Client-centered therapy 
• Motivational interviewing 

To provide a well-rounded environment for all our residents, we are delighted to offer a number of experiential therapies. Experiential therapies may include: 

• Community volunteering 
• Prosocial activities 
• Gym 
• Student council 
• Youth group ministry 
• Community outings 

Whatever your child’s needs may be, we will strive to provide a care experience that encourages healing and personal development. Our staff truly cares about the well-being of our residents, and our goal is to provide them with the therapies and services that can help them flourish and grow into productive adults.  

At Resource Treatment Center, we are committed to providing high-quality programming for those in need of intensive care and delivering services with the utmost compassion during what can be a very overwhelming time in a young person’s life. We make ourselves available to help our residents navigate the treatment process and address their concerns so that they feel empowered and confident during their time at our residential rehab center. 

Our programming is separated into four unique phases:  

• The “identify” phase: During this phase, adolescents and young adults work with staff members to understand why they are receiving services at our facility. 
• The “connect” phase: We introduce learning new skills and help residents understand how to put those skills into action. 
• The “demonstrate” phase: During this phase, residents begin to implement and practice the skills they have learned. 
• The “distribute” phase: Residents give back to the community by taking part in prosocial activities, during which they can utilize the new skills they have developed. 

It’s important to us that our residents feel at ease during their stay so that they can fully focus on healing. For this reason, we strive to provide them with a warm and welcoming environment where they can escape the stressors of their daily routines and enjoy all the comforts of home. We understand that each young person who comes to us for support will have their own unique journey to wellness, and it is our mission to provide them with the comprehensive care and safe space they need to discover the bright future ahead of them.
