Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center’s Dr. James J. Wright Building offers personalized and effective care for seniors over 60 facing substance use and mental health challenges in Indianapolis, Indiana. They offer general and intensive outpatient (IOP) care for adults with mental health conditions alongside harm reduction services like overdose lifeline NaloxBox distribution.

They’re situated on North Illinois Street, close by US Highway 31 in the Near Northside neighborhood close to downtown and Fall Creek Trail. IndyGo Bus Route 34 stops near the clinic.

As part of Eskenazi Health’s network, the facility ensures broader access to care by accepting Medicaid, Medicare and several commercial plans. A discount or sliding fee scale option is available for the uninsured or underinsured.

Their outpatient mental health and substance use recovery promotes independent living for seniors in a community setting. They leverage their interdisciplinary team to deliver therapy in groups and individual sessions that draw from cognitive behavioral techniques and wellness recovery action plans. These models help you build strong coping strategies and lay a foundation for lasting recovery and independent living.

You may particularly benefit from their specialized art groups encompassing ceramics program, Glad Writings Card Shop and studio art. This offers a creative outlet for self-expression, skill-building, and emotional healing. They may integrate primary medical care and psychiatric services to ensure well-rounded recovery. Case managers coordinate care and provide links to community resources to address housing and employment.

We like the fact that patients can receive this full spectrum of services at nursing homes, retirement homes and assisted living facilities or any convenient community setting. Crisis support and inpatient care are available for those experiencing acute psychiatric and substance use issues.
