Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis treatment in Louisiana addresses both your mental health and your recovery needs. A dual diagnosis program uses evidence-based approaches to help you overcome both your mental health concerns and substance use. This may include mental health medication, counseling, and more.
Drug Rehab
If your life has been negatively impacted by substance use disorder, a drug rehab in Louisiana can help. Drug rehab may include detox, inpatient treatment, and/or outpatient care. You’ll learn the roots of addiction and learn how to build a substance-free life.

Levels of Care

1
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient treatment in Louisiana is led by professionals who provide several hours of treatment per week. Outpatient treatment sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing a specific issue, sharing wins and challenges, education about specific topics, or developing life skills.
2
Aftercare Support
Aftercare in Louisiana can provide encouragement, support, and accountability as you move from treatment into lifelong recovery. Aftercare may include connections to 12-step and other support groups, housing and employment resources, community recovery centers, and more.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
If you’re struggling with substance use in Louisiana, you may not realize how connected your thoughts and actions are. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help increase your awareness. During treatment, you’ll examine common thought distortions, identify learned negative behaviors, and learn the skills necessary to consciously choose a different reaction to each situation.
Family Therapy
Family therapy in Louisiana is generally led by a professional who facilitates family members sharing their experiences and emotions. Family members learn how to play a positive role in supporting your recovery. Family therapy is only one element of rehab treatment, along with activities, peer support, individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
Individual Therapy
Overcoming substance use is easier if you’re not alone. During individual therapy in Louisiana, you’ll have a professional ally who will help you see things in a new way. Individual therapy is a normal part of evidence-based treatment programs and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both. Topics include processing past events that may have contributed to substance use, learning new life skills, and relapse prevention strategies.
