Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

This psychiatric hospital provides 24-hour inpatient care for children as young as 3, adolescents, adults, and seniors facing crises such as depression, suicidality, addiction, and dual diagnoses. The 81-bed facility separates individuals by age group into secure, supportive units that prioritize safety and emotional stabilization. It accepts complex cases including autism and intellectual disabilities, offering quick, stress-free admissions for families and referral partners across Indiana and Illinois. Comprehensive treatment is delivered by an interdisciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and social workers who meet daily to adjust care plans. Patients engage in individual, family, and group therapy along with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)-influenced skills groups focused on mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Additional therapies include sensory room support, psychoeducation, nutritional counseling, and expressive methods like music, art, and recreational therapy, all aimed at building coping skills and supporting long-term recovery. To promote comfort and focus during treatment, patients stay in private or shared rooms separated by age and receive essential personal care items and medically tailored meals. Electronics and cell phones are restricted to ensure a therapeutic environment, while structured indoor activities—such as board games, pet therapy, and creative writing—encourage connection and expression. Families are involved through scheduled visits and collaborative care planning, supported by the facility’s accessible location in Terre Haute. For older adults, the Savera Geriatric Care Unit offers specialized psychiatric care in a dedicated 21-bed setting. Patients ages 55 and up receive daily medical and psychiatric oversight, along with therapies that address mood disorders, dementia, schizophrenia, and other age-related conditions. The program combines crisis stabilization with music class, family support, exercise, and discharge planning to help seniors return safely to home or long-term care with improved emotional and cognitive well-being.
