About Indianapolis Counseling Center – Indianapolis
Indianapolis Counseling Center is an outpatient behavioral health agency in Indianapolis, Indiana. They work to improve the lives of people dealing with issues like substance abuse, mental health struggles and harmful sexual behaviors.
They offer standard outpatient and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for substance use disorders. This program begins with an assessment to identify needs.
