About Aspire Indiana Health – Next Step – Indianapolis
Next Step is a transitional housing program for residents of Progress House who have progressed far enough in their recovery to move to semi-independent living apartments or homes, while still receiving treatment on an outpatient basis, attending peer support meetings, etc.
It isn’t about where your recovery journey begins, but where you’re going.
Aspire Indiana Health approaches the treatment of substance use disorder with a philosophy of support, not stigma.
Aspire and Progress House have joined forces to offer an evolution of addiction treatment, which we refer to as the Whole Health Recovery Continuum (WHRC).
Instead of scattering the pieces to the recovery puzzle and expecting people to find them, the WHRC brings everything needed for a highly-effective recovery program, including a stable, safe place to live.
In this continuum of care, there is no right or wrong place to enter treatment. Some may begin their recovery journey at a high-intensity treatment center, like our Mockingbird Hill Recovery Center in Anderson.
Others might go straight to a recovery residence like Progress House in Indianapolis, where they can enjoy peer support while gaining the skills and stability they need to reclaim their lives and then onto the Next Steps housing program, a network of semi-independent recovery homes.
Some people may able to receive addiction treatment strictly on an outpatient basis at one of our Central Indiana clinics.
Wherever they enter the continuum, they’ll receive the comprehensive help they need. Primary medical care. Behavioral health therapy. Peer support groups, including 12 Step Recovery Programming. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Individual case management. Education and job training. And more services — all in one seamless continuum.
For some people, they may naturally progress from a high-intensity treatment facility through a recovery residence to semi-independent recovery housing. Others might start and leave from the same point in the continuum. It all depends on the nature of their individual needs to chart the path their recovery journey will take.
But the goal is the same for everyone: to reach a stage of long-term recovery where the disease of substance use disorder (SUD) is no longer controlling their lives.
