About

About Recovery Works

Recovery Works Merrillville sits at 201 West 89th Avenue in Merrillville, Indiana, and operates as part of the Pinnacle Treatment Centers national network. The location offers a notably complete continuum of care under one provider system – medical detox for withdrawal management, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, and standard outpatient services – allowing adults to step down through levels of care without transferring to a new clinical team.

Clinical programming combines evidence-based and adjunctive modalities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy anchor the talk-therapy curriculum, supplemented by Motivational Interviewing for engagement, Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR for trauma, and family therapy for relational repair. Yoga therapy is among the alternative modalities offered. The program treats a wide range of substance use concerns including alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, prescription drug, benzodiazepine, and Adderall addiction, with dedicated withdrawal management protocols for stimulants such as methamphetamine.

Recovery Works Merrillville carries CARF accreditation and Joint Commission accreditation – dual recognition that signals adherence to nationally recognized clinical quality standards. Pinnacle’s parent organization also lists affiliations with AATOD, NABH, and RCPA at the corporate level. The facility accepts a broad slate of commercial insurance carriers including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, CareSource, MDwise, and Managed Health Services, alongside Indiana Medicaid, Medicare, VA Community Care through Optum, and self-pay options.

A 24/7 patient access team supports admissions and verification of benefits, and the program advertises same-day admission availability for qualifying patients. Adults and young adults are the primary populations served. Prospective patients should contact admissions directly to verify current insurance acceptance, bed availability, and the appropriate level of care for their clinical needs.
