Substance use recovery support in Southeastern Indiana
The Choices Emergency Response Team (CERT) responds 24/7 to individuals and families struggling with substance use.
Call us at 317-205-8302 if you or someone you care about needs recovery support. We are available in the following Indiana counties: Dearborn, Decatur, Fayette, Franklin, Jefferson, Ohio, Ripley, Switzerland, and Wayne.
You are not alone. There is still hope.
It helps to hear from people who have gone through similar circumstances. Part of what makes our program special is that you have the one-on-one support of someone who is also in recovery.
