About Counseling for Change Inc
Counseling for Change Inc operates an outpatient addiction treatment program in Evansville, Indiana, specializing in the Matrix Program for adults in recovery. This CARF-accredited recovery center serves women, individuals with co-occurring disorders, and court-ordered clients throughout Southern Indiana with flexible outpatient and intensive outpatient programs.
Counseling for Change Inc operates as a specialized addiction treatment center in Evansville, Indiana, providing outpatient substance abuse treatment to the broader Southern Indiana recovery community. This non-profit recovery center focuses exclusively on outpatient care, offering both standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services for adults committed to long-term recovery.
The center's treatment approach centers on the Matrix Program, a structured outpatient treatment model specifically designed for adults addressing alcohol and drug abuse in an outpatient setting. Their intensive outpatient program complements this foundation, creating a comprehensive continuum of care that supports sustained recovery while allowing clients to maintain their daily responsibilities and community connections.
Counseling for Change Inc integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with their Matrix Program framework, addressing both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions including trauma and PTSD. This dual-diagnosis approach recognizes that lasting recovery requires treating the whole person, not just the addiction.
The recovery center specifically serves women, individuals with trauma histories, those with co-occurring disorders, and court-ordered clients throughout Vanderburgh County and Southern Indiana. CARF accreditation ensures quality standards, while multiple insurance options including Medicaid, Medicare, and sliding scale fees make treatment accessible to diverse recovery communities seeking ongoing outpatient support.
Outpatient Programs and Intensive Treatment Options
Counseling for Change Inc provides two primary levels of outpatient addiction treatment to support individuals at different stages of their recovery journey. Their standard outpatient program offers flexibility for those transitioning from residential treatment or beginning their recovery while maintaining work, family, and community commitments.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) delivers more structured support for individuals requiring additional accountability and clinical contact. Both programs incorporate the Matrix Program model, creating consistency across treatment levels while addressing the varying needs of the Southern Indiana recovery community.
Matrix Program and CBT Treatment Approach
The Matrix Program forms the cornerstone of treatment at Counseling for Change Inc, offering a research-backed framework specifically developed for outpatient addiction treatment. This structured approach combines relapse prevention, family education, drug education, and self-help participation into a comprehensive treatment model.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) complements the Matrix Program, helping clients identify and change thought patterns that contribute to substance use. This combination addresses both the behavioral and psychological aspects of addiction while supporting long-term recovery goals.
Dual Diagnosis and Trauma-Informed Care
Recognizing that many individuals in recovery face co-occurring mental health conditions, Counseling for Change Inc specializes in dual diagnosis treatment. Their approach addresses substance use disorders alongside conditions like PTSD and trauma-related disorders, ensuring comprehensive care for complex recovery needs.
The center's trauma-informed treatment model acknowledges how past experiences impact addiction and recovery. This specialized focus makes them particularly effective for women, trauma survivors, and others whose recovery requires addressing underlying mental health conditions alongside substance abuse treatment.
