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.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

I had a valuable gold chain stolen by one of the staff members. I noticed it when I received my personal effects prior to checkout. Nobody seemed concerned. Should sue them. I emailed them afterwards but never got a reaponse.

Well, there is always room for improvement. Regardless of what a place may specialize in. I was a patient there. Most people dont understand what the staff is up against daily. In my opinion, they do what is best for the patient. Although there are patients who require alternative measures. The patients mental, and physical well being is always their main concern.

Ocean Hospital in Alexandria La. Was awful !!! Do not send your love ones there. My husband is retired military and he was dirty, unshaved. He was in the same clothes for 4 days. He does not deserve to be treated that way. No one seem to know when the Dr would be there. I never spoke with a social worker the whole time. you get Zero stars. Shame on you!!

My mother was sent there from the nursing home because she said the word suicide. Then they kept her because she was delusional (she was delusional before going over there because she has dementia). They would not let us get her out. DO NOT EVER SEND A LOVED ONE HERE. She went back to the nursing home 10 times worse. There was no communication from the dr. He would not return multiple messages that I left. This was the Alexandria location.

0 out of 0 stars If possible! All I gotta say is... If you are dealing with a y type of PTSD, Depression, Anxiety etc etc from things like stress, childhood trauma, your current situation or anything else, then DO NOT go to these people! They absolutely do not care about you or making sure you get the right treatment! This place is nothing but hateful, selfish, disgusting, rude people who absolutely should NOT be working in such environment around people who are dealing with mental health issues! They themselves have got serious mental issues!

10 out of 10 would not recommend to ANYBODY. For the outpatient groups I was encouraged to open up and be honest but the moment I was they held me there against my will while saying I had a "choice" of going inpatient. Would not let me leave had to go to the hospital in the back of a cop car for the fact I was crying when I opened up about the things making me depressed. Dr changed my medicine a month later STILL HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FILLED!!! Called my insurance the reason was because the directions for use on my PA was not included and my insurance closed out my PA for them not responding back. Now today after 2 weeks of asking to be discharged from the program I got a random zoom link meeting sent to me from an unknown number waited for nearly 2 hours for them to reschedule on me. These people need to get there stuff together. If your sad or depressed don't go because THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU!

Horrible place.. the old grey haired nurse named brenda screamed at me until I signed papers. I asked to leave as soon as I walked in. I was there voluntarily they literally broke the law not letting me leave. I had not signed anything at all. Then they hit me with a huge bill... the place is horribly run down inside where they lock you up..

Two years ago I went to the one in New Orleans. I rate it four stars. It was a very nice pleasant facility. And people there and the staff were very nice. I also have to say the food was excellent.

Was admitted to the lafayette location and it was hell i went in voluntarily and my primary dr ended up pcp me. So a 72 hr stay turned into 1 month. During that time staff were very unprofessional. The drs play mind games with you and yes insurance has a huge play in it the better the policy or policies the longer the stay. And they make up reasons to keep u longer. Its like your walking on eggshells to get out. I had a week added because they say i was to emotional. And they mentally screw with you . My kids drove a 1 hr to come visit me they waited til they got there let me look at them on the security moniter and told me they couldnt visit me so when i broke down from heartbreak looking at my children on a moniter the nurse wrote me up. I talked about their visit for days and not once they say no one under 18 can visit. My stay was so traumatizing i didnt leave my house for months and my depression and anxiety just keep getting worse but i rather lock myself away with my kids then be tortured with the idea i never know when ill go home or see them. So no thanks Oceans ill pass. And i wont refer my worst enemy.
