Fresh Start Treatment Facility

Fresh Start Treatment Facility is a substance use treatment center located at 3208 North Sherman Drive in Indianapolis, IN 46218, serving Marion County and the greater Indianapolis area. The facility provides a full continuum of addiction care — from initial withdrawal management through longer-term recovery support — positioning it as a resource for individuals who need structured, medically supervised treatment rather than outpatient-only services.

The facility offers four distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, an outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). This range means patients can enter at the level appropriate to their clinical needs — whether that is a medically supervised detox to manage acute withdrawal, inpatient residential treatment for more intensive stabilization, or a step-down to outpatient or IOP as recovery progresses. Having all four levels under one program allows for continuity across the treatment continuum.

Fresh Start Treatment Facility addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside substance use, reflecting a recognition that addiction rarely exists in isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used at the facility. Services are provided in English, and the program treats dual diagnosis patients — those managing both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder.

The facility accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay or cash, which broadens access for Indianapolis residents who might otherwise face financial barriers to inpatient detox or residential care. Individuals seeking a detox program that can transition directly into residential or outpatient treatment — without transferring to a separate facility — can contact Fresh Start Treatment Facility at (317) 653-1033 or by email at treatment@freshstartindy.org.

Fresh Start Treatment Facility provides medical detox as the entry point for patients requiring supervised withdrawal management before transitioning into further treatment. Located on North Sherman Drive in Indianapolis, the facility serves individuals in Marion County who need a structured detox program rather than attempting withdrawal without clinical oversight.

Following detox, patients have direct access to residential treatment within the same facility, eliminating the gap that often occurs when detox and rehab are handled by separate providers. This continuity is a practical advantage for individuals and families navigating same-day or emergency treatment decisions.

The facility operates across four levels of care — medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient program, and intensive outpatient program (IOP). Each level corresponds to a different clinical intensity, allowing treatment to be matched to where a patient actually is in their recovery, not a one-size model.

The IOP is available for patients who have completed a higher level of care and are ready for structured treatment that does not require overnight stays. Outpatient programming provides a further step down for continued support. This tiered structure means the facility can serve both individuals entering treatment for the first time and those stepping down from inpatient detox or residential care.

Fresh Start Treatment Facility explicitly treats co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD as part of its clinical scope. For many patients seeking detox or residential treatment, an unaddressed mental health condition is a significant factor in both the substance use and the risk of relapse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods available at the facility. CBT is widely used in substance use treatment for its focus on identifying and changing thought patterns connected to addictive behavior. Patients with a dual diagnosis — a mental health condition alongside a substance use disorder — are within the facility's confirmed treatment population.

Cost is frequently a barrier for people seeking inpatient detox or residential treatment. Fresh Start Treatment Facility accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay or cash. This range of accepted payment methods makes medically supervised detox programs more accessible to Indianapolis residents across different financial situations.

To verify coverage or discuss payment before admission, the facility can be reached directly at (317) 653-1033 or by email at treatment@freshstartindy.org. Administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
