Oaklawn Psychiatric Center

About Oaklawn Psychiatric Center – South Bend, Indiana

Oaklawn Psychiatric Center’s South Bend, Indiana location offers outpatient alcohol and substance use disorder treatment as well as a full range of mental health services for adolescents and adults.

Oaklawn offers open access clinics Monday through Friday where individuals can begin the treatment process without an appointment. During this session individuals complete assessments with an addiction therapist and come up with an appropriate treatment plan.

They offer a Group First Model of treatment. This means that individuals start treatment in group therapy where they receive treatment as well as peer support. Some people will continue to attend only group therapy while others will transition to individual therapy for their addiction treatment.

Their individual and group sessions use evidenced based modalities to help men and women achieve long term recovery. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness and meditation as well as emotional regulation therapy.

In addition to therapy some individuals with alcohol and substance use disorder may benefit from medication assisted treatment (MAT). Oaklawn’s MAT program uses FDA approved medications to help individuals with withdrawal symptoms. The medications also reduce cravings and normalize brain chemistry to stabilize physical health. The use of MAT in addition to therapy has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of relapse and lower the risk of drug overdose deaths.

Oaklawn accepts most commercial insurance plans and Medicaid. They do not turn people away for lack of insurance coverage or ability to pay. They offer a sliding scale fee payment plan and in some cases will work with individuals to get them enrolled in a state funded plan if they are eligible.
