Avenues Recovery Center of New Orleans

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Metairie has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 4 of the 8 centers near Metairie offer one at all.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Metairie.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across New Orleans and Kenner.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men, adult women, pain management and past trauma.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Metairie differ on it.

It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

A short list: id, insurance, medications, clothes, and the phone numbers you would not want to lose. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
