Porter Starke Services – Valparaiso Campus Claimed

About Porter Starke Services – Valparaiso Campus

The Valparaiso Campus of Porter Starke Services provides addiction treatment in Valparaiso, Indiana. The organization is licensed by the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addictions, as well as the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.

If you’re seeking treatment, they accept Medicare and Medicaid. If they don’t accept your insurance or you’re uninsured, you will still be able to receive treatment via self pay. You may also qualify for the sliding fee scale depending on your household size and income.

Their opiate replacement treatment program combines medication assisted treatment (MAT) and counseling. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this program. I like that it is operated under the supervision of the medical directors and the program directors. Depending on your personalized treatment plan you may be given either methadone or Suboxone.

Their Valparaiso Campus is also pretty close to a nature walk and a short maze. This labyrinth is free and open to the public and encourages you to clear your mind as you walk. It’s an easy therapeutic approach to get exercise and unwind. As you complete the maze, you can think about how you’re leaving your worries behind.

They do provide a housing option for women. The women’s recovery home is for women who are living with a chronic addiction. I like that this program is available so that women are able to get the help they need, from the supportive program, but also live in a safe environment. Living in a safe environment allows you to focus on your long term recovery journey.

Their housing and MAT programs are part of their larger community effort. I like how they have a foundation that provides scholarships to students who have overcome hardships in their mental health and are now going to earn their degrees. They also sponsor events to spread awareness, like fundraisers, marathons, and holiday-themed get-togethers. These programs raise money for their mental health programs while building a grassroots health network among your neighbors and loved ones.
