Getting Help at Parkdale Center

How Our Admissions Process Works

Each professional will carry the weight of their career, responsibilities, and work/life balance differently. At Parkdale Center, we teach you how to manage the stressors and triggers in your life that have led you down the path of addiction. Your work identity, whether you are a nurse, lawyer, physician, pilot, corporate executive, athlete, laborer or engineer, influences many of life’s outcomes and opportunities.

Stage One - Confidential Assessment

Commitment-Free Phone Assessment @ 219-400-3545

We pride ourselves on our ability to service a diverse community of professionals who are struggling with substance use, but we also understand the importance of finding the best fit for you or someone you know. We are just a phone call away and are here to answer all of your questions, as well as address your concerns.

We help you understand the estimation of length, how much detox may be needed, cost factors, and how to navigate what is next.
Inpatient facility may be recommended at this stage if you are extremely dependent. We will help identify and direct those in need.

Stage Three - Intensive Outpatient

Parkdale will assist you locally or will work with an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in your hometown to create a support system of individuals and outpatient appointments. This assistance will ensure you are ready to prevent the potential for relapse while encouraging lasting support and sobriety.

This stage is recommended to ensure that an individual begins to form new healthy habits when returning to everyday life.
Onsite group appointments in your community

Stage Four - Outpatient & Aftercare

We don’t just want you to meet your potential; we want you to form a relationship with it. The time post-IOP is referred to as “Aftercare”, which for many, leads to new beginnings. Long-term sobriety is attainable, but it doesn’t happen the minute you quit using. It takes the creation and development of a support system. At Parkdale, we are dedicated to helping everyone acquire this support - the professional in recovery, the family, the employer and anyone willing to engage. Parkdale is here for you through the whole stages of recovery.

Long-term sponsor engagement
Group meetings to create a supportive environment
Continued support for families, employers, and colleagues, as desired.

Stage Five - Career Restoration

We, at Parkdale, understand the importance of re-entering your career with renewed confidence. Therefore, our career restoration program is one-of-a-kind and designed to provide you (the highly accountable professional) documented sobriety and compliance, with the goals of continued sobriety and employment. Parkdale is able to do this by helping you enter into a comprehensive return-to-work contract with either your current employer or potentially a new one. This contract can provide peace of mind and accountability for all parties.

If you’re committed to staying clean and sober, but you’re having trouble finding work in your profession, Parkdale will do the best we can to help guide you. You are not alone!
