About The Grove Estate Addiction Treatment Program
The Grove Estate is a luxury addiction treatment center in Peru, Indiana providing medical detox, residential rehabilitation, a dedicated program for working professionals, dual diagnosis treatment, family programming, and aftercare for voluntary adults aged 18 and older. The facility treats alcohol use disorder alongside opioid, stimulant, benzodiazepine, and cannabis use disorders, including fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine. The Grove Estate is accredited by The Joint Commission, certified by LegitScript, and listed by the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction as an active provider at ASAM Level 3.5. Treatment is delivered from the 1889 Walnut Grove Mansion on a 25-acre estate 75 miles north of Indianapolis. The Grove Estate has treated adults in Peru, Indiana since 2023.
What does The Grove Estate treat?
The Grove Estate treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions in adults. Treatment covers alcohol, fentanyl, heroin, hydrocodone, codeine, methamphetamine, cocaine, Adderall, Xanax, Valium, benzodiazepines, and marijuana. Every admission receives a psychiatric evaluation to identify co-occurring conditions before the treatment plan is written.
Substance use disorder is a medical condition defined by continued use despite harm. The ASAM Criteria classify its severity across six dimensions, and The Grove Estate applies those dimensions at intake to determine the appropriate level of care.
Co-occurring mental health conditions are treated concurrently rather than sequentially. The dual diagnosis program addresses depression, anxiety, and trauma alongside the substance use disorder, because treating one without the other returns the client to the untreated condition.
Levels of care available at The Grove Estate
The Grove Estate offers two levels of care and five supporting programs. The levels of care are on-site medical detox and residential rehabilitation. The supporting programs are rehab for professionals, dual diagnosis treatment, family integration, exercise and nutrition, and aftercare planning.
Medical detox is the supervised withdrawal phase. Physicians prescribe medication and nursing staff monitor vital signs continuously until withdrawal resolves. The Grove Estate staffs detox at one team member for every four clients.
Residential rehab is 24-hour structured treatment at ASAM Level 3.5, with medical, nursing, and clinical services on site. Clients live at the estate for the full duration of the program, staffed at one team member for every twelve clients.
Rehab for professionals groups working professionals together so clients share comparable stressors, triggers, and return-to-work pressures.
Aftercare plans the transition out of residential treatment before discharge rather than after it.
The therapies delivered inside these programs are individual counseling, group counseling, drug and alcohol seminars, and holistic therapy.

Who provides care at The Grove Estate?
Care at The Grove Estate is led by Dr. Steven Schneider, medical director, and Ryan Cowles, director of nursing. Dana Reichert serves as chief executive officer and Lori Hawk as director of quality. Registered nurses provide medical oversight across all 24 hours.
Dr. Steven Schneider has practiced psychiatry for 35 years. He earned his medical degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago and completed his psychiatry residency at IUPUI in Indianapolis.

Who does The Grove Estate serve?
The Grove Estate serves voluntary adults aged 18 and older, with a specialization in working professionals. Admission is open regardless of race or national origin. The Grove Estate does not admit clients involuntarily and does not treat minors.
The working-professional specialization groups clients who face comparable circumstances: licensure exposure, employer disclosure, and return-to-work planning. Group composition is a clinical variable, and clients who share those pressures engage more directly in group counseling.

What does The Grove Estate facility include?
The Grove Estate occupies a 25-acre estate in Peru, Indiana centered on the 1889 Walnut Grove Mansion. The facility operates a residential capacity of 31 to 50 beds and includes on-site medical detox, private accommodations, fitness and wellness space, and private woodland used for recreational therapy.
The Walnut Grove Mansion was built in 1889 and is the primary treatment building on the estate. Detox is delivered on site, so clients do not transfer between facilities between withdrawal and residential treatment. Continuity of setting removes the most common point of drop-off in the first week.
The grounds support the exercise and nutrition program and the recreational therapy sessions delivered by the recreational therapist.
See the Tour Our Facility page for photographs of the estate and grounds.
What is The Grove Estate’s approach to addiction treatment?
The Grove Estate uses a trauma-informed, non-coercive approach. Trauma-informed care treats unresolved trauma as a driver of substance use rather than a separate issue. Non-coercive means clients participate voluntarily and treatment plans are built with the client rather than imposed.
We built the program around a straightforward observation: adults who arrive at treatment having been pressured into it disengage, and adults who choose it stay. Every client at The Grove is here voluntarily, and the treatment plan is written with them rather than handed to them.
Our clinical team addresses trauma and substance use in the same treatment plan, because the two are rarely separable. That approach shapes group composition, session structure, and the pace we set for each client.
Start treatment at The Grove Estate
Call 765-204-1188 to start treatment at The Grove Estate. The admissions team answers 24 hours a day. Admission requires a phone assessment, insurance verification, and a scheduled arrival date, and the assessment is confidential.
The phone assessment establishes substance use history, medical history, and current medications. Insurance verification returns the client’s out-of-network benefit before arrival, so cost is known before admission rather than after it.
Admission and the first days of treatment follow a fixed sequence:
- The clinical team completes the initial assessment.
- A medical provider performs a physical examination and Dr. Schneider completes a psychiatric evaluation.
- The clinical team writes an individualized treatment plan from both evaluations.
- The client enters the 24-hour structured residential program.
- Dr. Schneider conducts psychiatric rounds weekly and adjusts the treatment plan.
- The family program begins alongside the client’s treatment.
- Wellness and recreational therapy are integrated into the weekly schedule.
The full sequence is documented on the Admission Process page.
The Grove Estate is a luxury drug and alcohol rehab in Indiana. Adults arrive voluntarily, and leave with a plan built with them rather than for them.
