About Oaklawn Psychiatric Center Inc

Oaklawn stands as a leading provider of mental health and addiction support in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties. Their services encompass a diverse array of options, including inpatient care, psychiatric assistance, therapy, and skill development. They also offer tailored programs aimed at meeting the distinct requirements of the community. Intensive residential programs cater specifically to youth, while adult patients can access inpatient treatment.

Unique to the Elkhart campus is the New Hops Adolescent program, an intensive 28-week initiative for adolescents dealing with moderate to severe substance use disorders. Throughout this program, participants learn about substance use, its effects on individuals and families, and develop essential recovery skills. Oaklawn also runs Camp Mariposa, which supports young people impacted by family substance use. This camp provides a weekend overnight experience for children aged 9-12 and a single-night camp for teens aged 13-17.

For adults in need of addiction recovery, group therapy programs are available. The recovery pathway includes medication-assisted treatment, dual diagnosis support, peer support groups, and sober living environments. Following the conclusion of inpatient care, aftercare groups focusing on relapse prevention are offered.

Adults seeking mental health services at Oaklawn can benefit from a wide variety of options. These include outpatient services, psychiatric support, 24/7 inpatient care, intensive case management, and transitional programs. Outpatient care encompasses group therapy, individual and family therapy, and skills training aimed at educating and empowering clients. Psychiatric services involve medication management and evaluations.

For youth facing mental health challenges, Oaklawn provides outpatient programs, psychiatric services, transitional programs, partnerships with schools, and services contracted through the Department of Child Services and Juvenile Justice. The Mishawaka Campus is a residential program for youth aged 12-18 dealing with psychiatric or behavioral issues, intellectual disabilities, and harmful sexual behaviors. Treatment is grounded in evidence-based practices and includes individual and group therapy, family engagement, medical services, public education, skills development, and spiritual programs.
