People United of Louisiana

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Ferriday is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ferriday offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Ferriday has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Ferriday.

It is on its own in this part of LA, which makes the waiting list question worth asking early.

It is common, and a program that takes referrals will know exactly what the court expects. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Psychiatric medication and treatment medication can usually be managed together by the same team. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.

Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
