Our Story & Mission
AD Rehab was founded with a singular mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment that transforms lives and reunites families.
Located in Merrillville, Indiana, our treatment center serves individuals and families throughout Indiana and the surrounding region who are struggling with substance use disorders. We believe that addiction is a treatable medical condition, and with the right support, anyone can achieve lasting recovery.
Our facility combines clinical excellence with a warm, supportive environment where patients can focus entirely on their healing journey. Every aspect of our treatment center — from our physical spaces to our therapeutic programs — is designed to promote recovery and personal growth.
Our Mission
To provide comprehensive, individualized addiction treatment that addresses the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — in a safe, supportive environment that promotes lasting recovery.
Our Values
- Compassion in every interaction
- Evidence-based treatment approaches
- Respect for each individual's dignity
- Commitment to clinical excellence
- Support for families throughout recovery
Our Treatment Approach
We combine evidence-based therapies with holistic care to treat the whole person.
Treatment Philosophy
At AD Rehab, we understand that addiction affects every aspect of a person's life. That's why our treatment approach addresses not just the physical dependence on substances, but also the underlying psychological, emotional, and social factors that contribute to addiction.
Our clinical team creates individualized treatment plans that evolve as patients progress through recovery. We believe in meeting each person where they are and providing the level of support they need at each stage of their journey.

Recovery Stories
Real stories from individuals who found hope and healing at AD Rehab.
I came to AD Rehab feeling hopeless after years of struggling with opioid addiction. The detox team made me feel safe and cared for from day one. The residential program gave me the structure and therapy I needed to finally understand my addiction. I'm now 14 months clean and have rebuilt my relationship with my family.
Residential Treatment
The dual diagnosis treatment at AD Rehab changed my life. For years, I self-medicated my depression with alcohol. Here, they treated both conditions together, and for the first time, I understood the connection. The staff in Merrillville genuinely cares — this isn't just a job to them.
Dual Diagnosis Program
As a working mom, I needed a program that fit my life. The IOP at AD Rehab was perfect. I could get treatment in the evenings and still be there for my kids. The flexibility didn't mean less quality — the therapy was just as intensive and effective. I'm grateful every day.
