Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

24-Hour Clinical Care

Initial phases of rehab treatment often require 24-hour clinical care in Louisiana. This supervised treatment offers three main benefits. Medical staff can provide medications to treat withdrawal. Clients can also benefit from having 24-hour nursing staff available to treat any other physical symptoms. Lastly, this setting ensures that professionals are constantly available to address any emotional or mental health issues related to the addiction or co-occurring disorders.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

If you undergo cognitive behavioral therapy in Louisiana, you may engage in role playing, face your fears, and learn to calm your mind and body. These techniques are designed to help you recognize unhealthy patterns of thinking and to learn healthy ways of coping with challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

When you participate in dialectical behavior therapy, you'll work on recognizing distorted thinking patterns that are guiding your emotions. You'll learn how to change these patterns to eliminate unproductive reactions. This involves developing better coping mechanisms to handle stressful situations.

Group Therapy

People gain great insight into the patterns of behaviors and the triggers that underlie addiction when they participate in group therapy sessions. Your peers will discuss their experiences and strategies they use to manage addictive behaviors, offering you a greater opportunity to learn coping skills that work.

Individual Therapy

Men and women in Louisiana who seek individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment will receive therapy in a focused and supportive environment. Therapists customize interventions to your unique situation. This helps you understand the addictive process and develop coping strategies to help achieve and maintain sobriety.

Trauma Therapy

In Louisiana, trauma therapy helps you explore the impact that a traumatic event has had on your life. You can experience emotional and physical responses if you witness or experience a traumatic event. Your therapist guides you in processing the trauma and then developing coping strategies that improve your quality of life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective therapy for treating trauma that helps your brain reprocess memories and restructure negative beliefs that are associated with traumatic events. This structured approach reduces symptoms and distress while promoting emotional healing and resilience.

Family Therapy

The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding dynamic between family members. Therapists assist families in identifying and changing negative, harmful patterns while improving open and honest communication. This provides a stable foundation for the recovery journey.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy is a holistic therapy that allows you to relearn healthy habits you have lost during active addiction. Therapists help you identify the best foods that will give your body the nutrients it needs for recovery and daily living.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy offers you a holistic approach to drug and alcohol addiction treatment. It integrates activities like hiking, art, and team sports to improve your mental and physical health. These activities give you an emotional outlet, help reduce your stress, and fosters social connections as you rebuild your life and maintain sobriety.

I had a family member in here recently. This was the first time she had been in a hospital for psych problems. It s been several years since she has been normal and thriving, talking about being goal oriented and excite about life. Thank you Brentwood and to the staff on the third floor there for taking such good care of her.

Hello, Britney. So glad to hear this terrific feedback! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Take care.

BEWARE..BEWARE..PLEASE FIND ANOTHER FACILITY FOR YOUR LOVED ONE..Brentwood is not what most people think!! My son was transferred here from a local hospital for overdosing. He was there for 1 full week and they did absolutely NOTHING to help him except kept him doped up so they did not have to deal with him. He's bipolar and needs to be put on medicine to stabilize his moods. They did none of that. We called several times each day trying to get a doctor or someone to return our calls, of course no one ever called! He was moved to another floor in which his visitation times changed, did they ever let us know they had changed, of course not. He had an apple watch stolen between his ride in an ambulance and Brentwood. My guess is that it was stolen there, I saw it with his belongings when he was being transferred. I hope and pray we NEVER have to send another family member here, because they DO NOT CARE about your loved ones. PLEASE DO NOT send your loved ones here, find another facility, even if you have to travel a short distance. It's just not what you think or worth your frustration and stress. They DO NOT get the care or treatment they need here. It's horrible!!

Alexis Iliev-Bryant

Long, but please read: My son spent a couple of weeks here on the kids unit. While most of the staff were really nice, there were a couple you could tell are just here for a paycheck and do the minimum. One day my son was vomiting from 3 am to 5pm; no one bothered notifying me so he can have meds until HE called during his phone time at 5pm. The nurse on duty at 3am claimed she couldn't contact me bec the number on file was to the ER? Mean while no one else from the hospital had an issue contacting me prior or even after...The patient advocate handled the situation professionally and understood my frustration. There was one other nurse who acted like she could care less when I voiced concerns and had an attitude over the phone.Most of the other staff, however, were amazing and went above and beyond. The techs were kind to him during his stay and even talked to him and tried to mentor him a little bit.Nurse Unique discharged us and made sure he was 100% good to go with his meds since we live so far away. She was very kind to us and my son said she was very nice during his stay.6 days later:Came back to add, Dr. Wagner decided to release my son even though he was still experiencing psychosis. His words were, "he's at least better than when he came in so he can go home." My son was there for two weeks. Released even when I voiced my concern to Dr. Wagner and the next day had another episode that was extremely traumatic to my family and my son himself. He had to go back to Brentwood and assigned the same Dr! We are currently waiting for him to be transferred....

I went here about a year ago and it was the W.O.R.S.T. experience of my life!!!!! I was in 2 tower and the highlight of my day was watching Jordan walk through that door to do group therapy, that man deserves all of the raises and praise. Food -10, staff -10, communication between Dr and patients -10. I can NOT stress this enough, DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!!!!!!!!!

Sarah

As a graduate student pursuing research on social policy, I am attentive to how mental health institutions impact individuals, and my own traumatic experiences at this facility have influenced my understanding of the need for reform. Not surprisingly, people are still having similar experiences I did as a teen.
