Over 50 Years of Person-Centered Care

The Open Door was founded in 1972 as a United Ministry Volunteer Task Force offering a crisis hotline staffed by volunteers. Since that time, we have grown into a licensed outpatient facility providing a variety of services, including Screening, Assessment, Education, Intervention, and Treatment for Substance Use and Gambling Disorders; 24-hour Crisis Intervention Services; and Evaluation and Education for DUI Offenders.

In 1996, an affiliation agreement with Indiana Regional Medical Center (IRMC) was established to increase access to services. In 2012, TOD partnered with Armstrong-Indiana Behavioral & Developmental Health Programs (BDHP) to provide telephone and walk-in crisis services, adding mobile crisis services in 2015.

In response to the ongoing needs of our community, The Open Door added a Nurse Navigator in 2013 who provides HCV and HIV screening, education, support, and referral, as well as support and referral for other physical health and mental conditions. We have continued to expand the Medication Assisted Treatment options available to our clients. VIVITROL® services in collaboration with Positive Recovery Solutions (PRS) started in 2015, and in 2019, Sublocade treatment was implemented. We have additionally partnered with Central Outreach Wellness Center in 2022, which provides HCV and HIV testing, support, and referral onsite in addition to other services.

Starting January 1st of 2023, our crisis text line is live. Further expansion of Crisis Services is in the works for 2023.

The agency is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs for Drug and Alcohol Outpatient Treatment Services, and by the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services for Crisis Intervention Services.
