About Indiana University West Hospital
Indiana University Health West Hospital is a community hospital within the Indiana University Health system, located at 1115 North Ronald Reagan Parkway in Avon, Indiana, in Hendricks County just west of Indianapolis. IU Health is the largest network of physicians in the state of Indiana, built on a partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine, and its West Hospital extends academic-level medical care into the western suburbs.
Within the hospital, the addiction treatment service line offers medically supervised detoxification, Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP), and standard outpatient care for substance use disorders. Because the program operates inside a full-service hospital, medical detox is supported by hospital nursing, physician oversight, and the ability to manage complications that a freestanding rehab cannot. Patients with co-occurring mental health conditions can be evaluated by hospital-based psychiatry, and those with the medical sequelae of long-term substance use can be treated alongside their addiction.
Clinical care is anchored in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual counseling, and group programming, with medication management available where appropriate. The outpatient and IOP structure allows patients to live at home while attending multiple clinical sessions per week, which is especially useful for working adults, parents, and patients stepping down from a higher level of care. Because IU Health is fully integrated, referrals to primary care, psychiatry, and other specialists are seamless within the system.
The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts Indiana Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, self-pay, and state insurance, making care broadly accessible across the western Indianapolis suburbs. For adults in Hendricks County and the broader Indy metro confronting substance use, IU Health West offers something many standalone outpatient clinics cannot: addiction care that lives inside a full hospital, with the medical depth of one of Indiana’s leading academic health systems immediately available when it is needed.
