About Porter Starke Services – Knox
Porter Starke Services in Knox, Indiana, provides a variety of addiction treatment options for you or a loved one who has a chemical dependency on drugs or alcohol. They are a nonprofit community health center that is licensed through the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addictions and accredited by the Council on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities or CARF. They offer outpatient wraparound services for adults, families, adolescents and children who have mental health or substance use disorders.
They offer residential programs at other locations if you have severe mental illness and would benefit from 24/7 supervision. Additionally, women with a chronic addiction may be treated in their Women’s Recovery Home where they can participate in support programming while living in a safe space.
Their comprehensive services include counseling, addiction treatment, psychiatric services, crisis care, and healthcare for pediatrics through adults. They offer treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions (dual diagnosis). This requires a specialized treatment program to address both issues simultaneously since they typically interact with and exacerbate each other.
Their psychiatric services include case management and structured weekly meetings as well as referrals to other social service organizations when needed. Evidence-based care includes medication management when medications are included in your treatment program.
Their addiction program also treats those who have an opioid use disorder and are 18 years and older. They use methadone and counseling to address addiction to opioids such as hydrocodone, codeine, heroin and morphine. Their opiate replacement program is closely monitored. A team of professionals customizes your evidence-based treatment plan that includes counseling and medication maintenance treatment.
