Questions people ask about Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/West Jefferson
What levels of care does Jefferson Parish Human Services - Authority/West Jefferson offer?

What is there in Marrero that costs nothing?
Marrero has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is 30 days enough?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
What if I have no insurance?
In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
What if this is not the first time?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
