Bowen Center

Bowen Center located in Warsaw, Indiana, is a community mental health center that offers integrated medical and mental health care for those with alcohol and substance use disorder. Their outpatient addiction recovery programs serve teens and adults.

They offer outpatient services including medication assisted treatment (MAT), intensive outpatient treatment, individual and group therapy and family education support.

Treatment options such as medication assisted treatment have been found to significantly decrease relapse rates, help to prevent drug overdose deaths, decrease criminal activity associated with substance use disorder and reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission. MAT uses FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings, stabilize brain chemistry and normalize body functions allowing for the recovery journey to begin. For some, use of MAT is a short term, others many need to remain on the medications long term to support sobriety.

Another service, offered as a part of their outpatient program, is the Life Skills coaching program. Their skills coaches work with clients both adults and children to modify behavior, adjust lifestyles and teach important skills to help achieve success and independence. This includes independent living skills, relationship building, anger management programs, coping with trauma and stress teaching, crisis management and communication skill building.

Bowen Center does deny services based on an individual’s inability to pay. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP and have a sliding scale or free program for those who qualify. Bowen Center offers programming for English and Spanish speaking clients.
