About

About Regional Mental Health Center Stark Center

The Stark Center, located at 3903 Indianapolis Boulevard in East Chicago, Indiana, is one of the substance use and behavioral health service locations of Regional Health Systems — known formerly as Regional Mental Health Center — a Joint Commission-accredited provider that receives HRSA Health Center Program grant funding under 42 U.S.C. § 254b. That HRSA designation matters: it commits the organization to serving patients regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay, which makes the Stark Center one of the more financially accessible substance use treatment options in Lake County, Indiana.

SAMHSA records confirm a robust continuum of care at this site. Clients can enter through medical detox for supervised withdrawal management, step into residential treatment, transition through intensive outpatient and standard outpatient, and connect remotely through telehealth — all under one organizational roof. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the documented evidence-based modality, supported by individual and group counseling. The Stark Center also serves pregnant women and Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing clients as part of its SAMHSA-identified populations of focus.

Financially, the Stark Center is unusually accessible. SAMHSA confirms acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE (a noteworthy benefit for the region’s veteran population), state insurance, self-pay/cash, sliding-scale, and financial-assistance arrangements. The combination of HRSA funding plus a full payer mix means that few clients are turned away on cost grounds.

The Stark Center is part of Regional Health Systems’ broader integrated-care network. Beyond substance use, the parent organization offers primary care, dental services, mental health counseling, pharmacy, mobile health, the Crisis C.A.R.E. Unit, Mobile Integrated Response, Assisted Outpatient Treatment, and veteran-specific resources. Clients with co-occurring needs benefit from this integration; instead of being referred out to disconnected providers, they can receive coordinated care across multiple service lines.

  • Extended evening hours until 8 PM Monday-Thursday for working patients
  • TRICARE insurance acceptance for military families seeking detox services

Outpatient Medical Detox Services

Regional Mental Health Center Stark Center provides outpatient medical detox for individuals requiring withdrawal management without 24-hour facility supervision. This approach allows patients to receive medically supervised detox while maintaining work schedules and family responsibilities. The center's extended hours Monday through Thursday until 8 PM accommodate patients who cannot access traditional daytime detox programs.

The facility offers medication assisted treatment as part of their withdrawal management protocol, particularly beneficial for opioid detox patients. Telehealth capabilities enable remote monitoring during the detox process, ensuring patient safety while providing flexibility in treatment access. This combination of in-person and virtual care creates a comprehensive outpatient detox experience.

Insurance and Payment Options for Detox

The Stark Center accepts TRICARE insurance, making medical detox accessible to military families and veterans in the East Chicago area. This insurance coverage significantly reduces financial barriers to withdrawal management services for qualifying patients. The facility also accommodates cash payments and self-pay options for individuals without insurance coverage.

Payment flexibility ensures that detox services remain available regardless of insurance status. The center's financial accessibility, combined with their outpatient model, provides cost-effective withdrawal management compared to inpatient detox facilities while maintaining medical supervision standards.

Integrated Mental Health and Addiction Treatment

The facility addresses both substance abuse and mental health conditions simultaneously, recognizing the high prevalence of co-occurring disorders among detox patients. Cognitive behavioral therapy serves as a primary therapeutic method during the withdrawal management process, helping patients develop coping strategies while managing detox symptoms.

This dual-diagnosis approach prevents the common cycle where untreated mental health conditions lead to relapse after detox completion. The integrated model ensures that psychological factors contributing to addiction receive attention during the medically supervised withdrawal process, improving long-term recovery outcomes.
