About Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare

Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare has been providing addiction and co-occurring mental health disorder treatment to adults in Evansville, Indiana since 1971. They provide 2 levels of residential treatment and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Their primary residential program has 32 beds and provides high intensity treatment for 3-4 weeks. Their second program is a transitional residential program with gender-specific housing that can last for 90 days to 12 months. Clients in both residential programs receive a variety of evidence-based therapy services, psychoeducation, life skills training, and case management services. The IOP is available at 7 outpatient locations across Southern Indiana and they treat clients of all ages, with programs for both children and older adults.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
