Questions people ask about Southeast Louisiana VA HCS

What kind of care does Southeast Louisiana VA HCS provide?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Slidell has 4 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Southeast Louisiana VA HCS offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Slidell, about a mile away.

Is there a program at Southeast Louisiana VA HCS for people like me?

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 10 named here.

Can you stay overnight at Southeast Louisiana VA HCS?

They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Slidell offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.

Which languages does Southeast Louisiana VA HCS offer treatment in?

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Slidell are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Does Southeast Louisiana VA HCS treat older adults?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Slidell.

Does a relapse mean it failed?

A previous attempt is information rather than a mark against you. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask what the aftercare looks like, because its absence is a common gap.

Is there a waiting list?

Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
