New Day Recovery - West Monroe

They provide inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient and detox, which is the whole of what this address in West Monroe is set up for.

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 West Monroe offer one at all.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 4 named here.

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

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The nearest alternative is in Monroe, 2.0 miles away, if the age is the thing that rules this one out.

Spanish is one of 2 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, which is a wider range than most of West Monroe.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
