Questions people ask about Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/East Jefferson

What levels of care does Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/East Jefferson offer?

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

Does Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/East Jefferson offer a detox?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Metairie is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

Is there a residential program at Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/East Jefferson?

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Metairie has the nearest beds, 1.7 miles away.

Does Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/East Jefferson treat mental health as well?

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adolescents and past trauma.

Who are the programs at Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/East Jefferson built for?

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Metairie has 8 other centers to ask.

What is there in Metairie that costs nothing?

Metairie has 22 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

What will I actually pay?

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. County behavioral health departments fund treatment directly in many places, and that route is invisible from a search. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.

Is medication part of treatment?

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. The objection that it swaps one drug for another misses the mechanism: a stable prescribed dose does not produce a high and does not escalate.
