Addiction Recovery Resources is committed to supporting individuals in their journey towards recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. We believe that true recovery can only be achieved when individuals are given the opportunity to reintegrate into their community environment. Our Louisiana-based residential rehab facility offers a network of positive support and a continuum of care designed to meet the needs of patients at every stage of the disease. We believe that family participation is essential to recovery, and our goal is to promote the wellness of non-addicted family members. We firmly believe that recovery is possible for all addicts and alcoholics, as well as for the people who love them.
ABOUT ADDICTION RECOVERY RESOURCES, INC.
Addiction Recovery Resources, Inc. (AAR) is a private addiction treatment organization with facilities in Metairie and Harvey, Louisiana. Our New Orleans-area location provides ambulatory detox, a residential program, intensive outpatient treatment, and transitional sober living services for individuals struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. We also offer medication assisted treatment services. AAR prides itself on having a highly credentialed medical staff and emphasizes education and family involvement in our programs.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At Addiction Recovery Resources, our treatment is based on a 12-step model and incorporates a family systems model of therapy. We begin with a free initial assessment process that allows us to develop individualized treatment plans for each client.
Our medically assisted detox services are provided on an outpatient basis over a three- to five-day period. This process complements physical recovery with addiction education and referrals to continuing care.
Our residential program consists of two phases: education and application. In the 30-day education phase, we focus on understanding substance use disorders and developing basic life skills. The additional two months of treatment in the application phase address issues such as trauma, grief, conflict resolution, and nutrition. This period also serves as a transition phase, preparing clients for ongoing recovery outside of rehab. During the application phase, residents are expected to work, attend school, or participate in volunteer activities.
In addition to individual and group therapy, our treatment plans incorporate experiential and expressive therapies, spiritual work, multi-family group sessions, and supervised drug testing. All graduates of our program are eligible for up to one year of continuing care.
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) uses the same treatment modalities as the residential program and meets four evenings a week for eight weeks. It is important to note that the client’s significant other is expected to attend all IOP sessions.
Throughout all our programs, clients attend 12-step meetings and engage with the local recovery community. We also offer treatment for sex and gambling addictions, in addition to chemical dependency treatment.
