Addiction treatment is crucial in Metairie due to the significant impact of substance use in our community. Recent data shows that 10.8% of people in the New Orleans-Metairie area struggle with substance use disorders, with illicit drug use rates (15.2%) exceeding the state average. Our community faces higher-than-average rates of binge alcohol use, with 28.6% of residents reporting at least one episode in the past month. These statistics highlight the pressing need for accessible, comprehensive addiction treatment services in our area. Without proper treatment, substance use disorders can severely impact individuals, families, and the entire community.

At Eleanor Health, we’re committed to addressing this urgent public health crisis by providing flexible treatment options that work with your schedule and circumstances. Whether you choose online or in-person care, our team is here to help you access the medical care, counseling, and support needed to achieve and maintain recovery.

Different stages of recovery may require different levels of comprehensive care. Addiction treatment centers offer several options to match your specific needs and circumstances:

Inpatient treatment provides 24/7 medical care in a hospital setting, which is often necessary for alcohol detox or when more intensive support is needed.

Residential treatment offers a structured living environment with full-time therapeutic programming for those who benefit from around-the-clock support.

As an outpatient treatment provider, Eleanor Health offers flexible care that works around your daily life, allowing you to maintain work and family commitments while receiving treatment.

While we specialize in outpatient programs, we understand everyone’s journey is different. If you need a higher level of care first, we’ll help connect you with trusted providers who can support those early stages of recovery.

Your journey to recovery deserves a treatment approach that’s as unique as you are. That’s why our interdisciplinary team combines evidence-based treatment with personalized support to help you heal and grow. Our treatment team works together to provide the tools you need, from individual counseling sessions that address your specific challenges to family therapy that helps rebuild and strengthen relationships.

We use proven therapeutic approaches that help you develop practical life skills, manage stress, and build a stronger foundation for lasting recovery. Whether you choose virtual or in-person care, you’ll have access to both individual therapy sessions and group support, creating a comprehensive care experience that fits your life and goals.

Co-occurring mental health conditions, also known as dual diagnosis, happen when someone experiences both a substance use disorder and mental health concerns at the same time. Research suggests that more than 40% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Common examples include:

• Depression or anxiety alongside alcohol abuse
• PTSD combined with substance abuse
• Bipolar disorder with drug abuse
• Attention deficit disorders with substance abuse

These conditions often influence each other, which is why treating both simultaneously through our integrated approach leads to better outcomes. Many people find that addressing underlying mental health disorders is a crucial part of their recovery journey.

At Eleanor Health, we understand that your recovery process needs to work seamlessly with your daily life. That’s why we’ve created a unique approach that combines both virtual and in-person care. Your treatment team will work with you to develop an individualized care plan that offers the best of both worlds: the personal connection of face-to-face visits and the convenience of online sessions.

This flexible approach not only enhances the quality of care but also makes treatment more accessible and affordable. You can reduce costs by choosing virtual sessions when appropriate, while still maintaining the option for in-person support when you need it most. This combination has proven especially valuable for long-term recovery, allowing you to stay consistently engaged with your treatment plan regardless of life’s challenges.

Your first appointment begins in a comfortable environment with a compassionate care team who will listen to your story without judgment. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment to understand your unique needs and create a personalized treatment plan. This initial consultation includes discussing your treatment options, insurance coverage, and any concerns you may have. Whether you choose online or in-person care, we ensure your experience is completely confidential.

While we don’t provide medical detox programs or residential programs at our facility, our admissions team can help coordinate these services with trusted partners when needed. We work closely with local providers to ensure a smooth transition into our outpatient programs once you’re ready.

Medication management is a crucial component of recovery for many people. In our outpatient setting, you’ll work closely with licensed medical providers who specialize in addiction medicine to find the right medication plan for your needs. We carefully monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and ensure you have the support required to manage physical dependency safely and effectively.

Our team provides comprehensive education about your medications, their benefits, and what to expect during treatment. We coordinate closely with your counselors and peer support specialists to ensure your medication management aligns with your overall recovery goals. This integrated approach helps you focus on healing while maintaining your daily responsibilities.

Long-term recovery requires ongoing support and a strong sense of community. At Eleanor Health, we’ve built a supportive community that stays with you well beyond your initial treatment phase. Our approach includes connecting you with peer support specialists who understand your journey firsthand, regular check-ins with your care team, and opportunities to engage with others in recovery.

We help you build a sustainable recovery plan that evolves with your needs over time. This includes developing strong support networks, identifying and managing triggers, and maintaining healthy relationships. Our supportive community remains accessible even after treatment ends, ensuring you always have a place to turn for encouragement and guidance on your recovery journey.
