About

About Tara Treatment Center Inc

Tara Treatment Center is a Joint Commission-accredited, non-profit 501(c)(3) addiction treatment provider founded in 1985 by Ann Daugherty after the loss of her brother to alcoholism. The facility operates on 13 rural acres just south of Indianapolis at 6231 South U.S. Highway 31 in Franklin, Indiana, providing a serene, refuge-style setting designed to support recovery away from the pressures of daily life. In 2025, Tara celebrated its 40th year of operation and served 502 clients, while expanding its partial hospitalization programming, lengthening lengths of stay, and improving completion rates.

The clinical model is holistic, addressing recovery physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Treatment is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, psychologists, and addiction counselors, with services spanning medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programming. Cognitive behavioral therapy anchors the therapeutic approach, complemented by individual and group counseling, family therapy, and holistic offerings. Tara explicitly engages family members throughout the process, recognizing that loved ones play a vital role in recovery outcomes.

Clinically, Tara treats alcoholism, drug addiction, and trauma-related concerns, serving men, women, and families. The men’s program is coordinated by Amber Hoff, MSW, LCSW, LCAC, and clinical operations are led by Director Jennifer Parker, BSW, LAC, ACRPS, with counseling staff including Ariel Ellmore, MA, LMHC-A. The team’s tenure and licensure depth reflect Tara’s institutional commitment to maintaining clinical quality at a non-profit price point.

Payment options include Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay arrangements. Tara accepts admissions regardless of race, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, veteran status, or disability — a non-discrimination policy explicitly stated by the organization. Inquiries can be directed to (812) 526-2611 or the national 800.397.9978 line. With Tara’s core values of honesty, hard work, trust, and commitment, the program has built a reputation in central Indiana for treating addiction as a disease and clients as people deserving specialized care.
