Indiana's first community mental health center, Midtown provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services for all types of emotional and behavioral problems, including severe mental illness and substance abuse.
From its beginnings in 1969, Midtown and its family of outreach services and residential facilities have sought to meet the challenges of integrating patients into society through community-based care.
Licensed by the State of Indiana as a community mental health center and addictions service provider, Midtown also serves as the department of psychiatry for Wishard Health Services. As a provider of services in a large university medical center, Midtown is committed to providing state-of-the-art care. Our treatment philosophy is known as the recovery model, emphasizing the strengths and resources each person brings to the challenge of resuming a fully productive life.
Midtown's array of mental health and counseling services include the Psychiatric Inpatient Unit and the Crisis Intervention Unit at Wishard Memorial Hospital, along with several outreach centers. It was the first in the state to open a psychiatric emergency room, which allows patients to be held for 72 hours for observation.
Midtown's philosophy of care stresses strength-based, family- and community-centered treatment. Care decisions are team-based and emphasize family and patient participation. At Midtown, all patients are treated with dignity, confidentiality and respect.
