They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, New Orleans has the nearest beds, under a mile away.
Is a diagnosis handled at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health as well?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in New Orleans that is the part that varies.
Can my family come?
Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask how often the family sessions meet and whether they happen in person.
Who answers the phone?
Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.
