Community Fairbanks Recovery Center is a nonprofit substance use disorder treatment provider in Indianapolis, Indiana, operating within Community Health Network. The center has provided addiction treatment for over eighty years, beginning in 1945 with services for individuals struggling with alcoholism and expanding in 1982 to include adolescent programming. Accredited by the Joint Commission and recognized as a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, the center offers a full continuum of care for adults and adolescents, guided by American Society of Addiction Medicine standards and the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s thirteen core principles.
Inpatient and Residential Treatment
The center’s inpatient services begin with medically supervised withdrawal management, providing around-the-clock monitoring for patients experiencing serious withdrawal complications. From there, patients can step into a rehabilitation level that combines 24-hour professional oversight with medical and psychiatric support for those requiring intensive intervention. Inpatient residential treatment uses a multidisciplinary team approach on gender-specific units, focusing on emotional, behavioral, and cognitive recovery while building coping and life skills. For men with more complex recovery needs, the Community Fairbanks Recovery Lodge offers long-term residential treatment in a separate, non-hospital setting focused on life skills, recovery tools, and addressing core interpersonal issues that can threaten sobriety.
Outpatient Programs and Ongoing Support
Outpatient services span several intensity levels. A partial hospitalization program provides intensive daytime treatment comparable to inpatient care while allowing patients to return home each evening. An intensive outpatient program meets several days per week with group therapy sessions scheduled in afternoons or evenings, incorporating family programming and educational components. Level One therapy offers weekly one-hour group sessions over approximately twelve weeks for individuals with moderate impairment. A dedicated women’s trauma program addresses co-occurring trauma and substance use disorders using cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and seeking safety approaches. The center also operates an addiction medicine clinic providing medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine, naltrexone, and long-acting injectables. After primary treatment, recovery housing offers furnished supportive living apartments with recovery coaches, individualized success plans, drug and alcohol screening, and on-site twelve-step meetings, with a recommended minimum stay of nine weeks. Recovery management provides weekly group-based coaching to help individuals maintain the skills acquired in treatment as they transition back into work, school, and community life.
