Location

Accepted Insurance

Red River Behavioral works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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.
24-hour icon24-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.

Treatments

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.

Programs

Adult program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

I sincerely tried to resist posting negative comments about this facility but I’m of the opinion that they are not at all professionally competent. I’d think twice before sending my loved one to this facility if I were you. They milk insurance and just drug up the pati ... Read More

When a family member was admitted to this amazing facility we were cautious and worried due to our last experience with a ward in the Baton Rouge area. Our worries could not have been eased any more due to the outstanding communication skills of the employees at Red River. They returned calls swiftly and attempted to provide us with answers and options that were specifically fit to my relative s case. While we are located 4 hours away from the institution, the staff eagerly updated us and allowed our family member to communicate with us as well. With other extenuating circumstances in our lives right now, they attempted to make every conversation and transportation as easy as possible. Red River also diagnosed the relative with a third disability that two other behavioral centers over looked. The support that Red River has provided us with has demonstrated the individual empathy the facility has for patients. Compared to the other facility my relative has been to within the past month, Red River cares more about the individual than the potential to increase a rate of patients. We could not be more pleased.

My father entered Red River Behavioral to get his meds regulated for Alzheimers. A few days in, he fell in the shower when the tech turned his head a minute . After two days of complaining with his side I asked them to look at it. They called me back. His hip was okay. I explained it wasn t his hip hurt but his rib area so they xrayed again. He was put in diapers although he was totally continent. I asked them to stop but they didn t. Never were given the same answer any time we asked a question. They never seemed to know what was going on or willing to talk to the family. He got Covid while there. He was over medicated and out cold a good bit. What was suppose to be 10-14 days but was a month when he was taken to ER. Drs there said he was over medicated, severely dehydrated, and had a UTI. I would not recommend RRB for anyone I loved! But I will say for the most part there were two aides that were very good with him!

They reserved a room for my suicidal daughter and when we did intake they wouldn't take her bc she has to take a heart pill every 3 hours 3 times a day. I'm a nurse and pointed out an obvious and workable solution so the house supervisor said all the patients there were functioning adults (hahaha no patient in a psyche hospital in a functioning adult or they wouldn't be there) which implied my 19 yr old daughter who lives alone, has a job, buys her own groceries, etc wasn't a functioning adult (She literally took a jab at someone who was at rock bottom) and my daughter is still crying and questioning her self worth even more bc of that house supervisor was so unprofessional. There were many other things said and we left...needless to say, momma bear is about to shut them down. I know all the people to call to report them too.

This review is for another facility. I am sorry for your experience, and I hope your daughter received help for her serious mental health issues. However this review is not for this facility. Red River Behavioral Center in Bossier City, LA serves only geriatric patients over 50 years of age.

My mother was admitted for medication adjustment in Feb. She did her two weeks, and is doing quite well.The problems I had was she has dementia and has to be reminded to do things, such as brush teeth, put in or take out hearing aids. She has rechargeable hearing aids, and they where not charged while there, even though I provided charger. So one of them was lost. She had only had them 2 weeks.So if you place a love one there, keep hearing aids, as they are not responsible if lost.

My dad walked into this facility with a walker. When we visited, he was often in wet clothes and very drugged and disheveled looking.Ten days later he was hospitalized with three broken bones in his leg & ankle, even though he had been wheelchair bound since the day he entered. We never could get an explanation as to what happened and his dementia prevented him from telling us. This would be the last place on earth I would place a loved one. Nobody seemed to care and even after his hospitalization, there was no follow up at all to even ask how he was doing.

The Drs. and staff are excellent. However the cna staff could be more sensitive to the patient's need for respect. Hats off to those who made the entire experience very pleasant: Vance, Tyrone, DeVonte,Judy, Toya and Zelda.
