🎶✨ Sober. Connected. Alive. ✨🎶

What a night at the Hyryder Benefit Concert supporting Overdose Lifeline,Inc!

We were honored to be a community sponsor and even more honored to show up WITH our people. Our peer coach, Brandon, brought a group out to experience something powerful; music, community, and FUN… without substances. It is all possible!

Because here’s the truth:
💛 Sober fun is possible.
💛 Recovery doesn’t mean missing out.
💛 You can dance, sing, laugh, and feel fully alive; clear-minded and connected.

Watching our clients engage, smile, and just be present reminded us why we do what we do. Recovery isn’t just about stopping something. It’s about building a life you actually enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to the incredible recovery community that keeps showing up. We’re proud to stand beside you.

Happy Valentine’s Day from The Willow Center. ❤️

Healthy love starts with how you see yourself.

When you value yourself, you choose differently.
You tolerate less.
You grow.

That’s the kind of love story we’re here for.

Meet some of the team who believes in you, and helps you build that kind of love from the inside out.

Grateful for the people doing this work every day.

If you or someone you know needs support, reach out. We’re here.

Tell us your plans for today in the comments.

Five years of commitment, growth, and choosing recovery, one day at a time. Brandon’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible. He is inspiring, compassionate, and truly pours his heart into everything he does. We are beyond grateful to have him as part of our team.

We’re grateful to WISH-TV for sharing about the opening of our adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program at The Willow Center in Pittsboro.

Families are telling us the same thing over and over: there just aren’t enough options when a teen is struggling with mental health or substance use. This program was created to help fill that gap and offer families another place to turn, right here in our community.

We’re proud to be part of meeting a much-needed service for adolescents and to support teens and families during some of the hardest moments they face.

If you’d like more information or want to talk through whether this might be a good fit, please reach out to us. We’re always happy to have a conversation.

Contact us at 317-286-3146

The Willow Center in Pittsboro, Indiana, has launched a 10-week intensive outpatient program for adolescents aged 13-17 with mental health and substance use challenges. It offers nine hours of group therapy each week, and individual and family counseling. A master's degree-level clinician oversees the program. https://tinyurl.com/mtt7pnn6
