Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center has been providing assistance to individuals recovering from addiction for over 20 years. Our team of dedicated professionals possesses a combined experience of more than 250 years in successfully breaking the cycle of this debilitating chronic disease. We firmly believe that recovery must encompass the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of an individual’s life. From the very beginning, our program is specifically designed to address all three of these essential areas. Our facilities and staff create an environment that promotes the development of essential living skills, the cultivation of non-addictive coping mechanisms, the identification and resolution of character defects, the fostering of a selfless way of life, and the adoption of a spiritual outlook.
ABOUT PALMETTO ADDICTION RECOVERY CENTER
Located on 70 picturesque rural acres in the northeastern part of Louisiana and surrounded by a serene lake, Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center offers residential and intensive outpatient treatment options for adult men and women combating substance abuse problems. Our facility also welcomes individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders and provides on-site medically monitored detoxification services.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Our comprehensive assessments are conducted by our entire staff and encompass evaluations of a client’s behavior, sense of responsibility, and emotional and spiritual development. The majority of our clients require about 90 days to complete all phases of treatment. Following their residential stay, many clients transition into our intensive outpatient program (IOP).
Our treatment approach adheres to the 12-Step therapeutic community model. Clients are expected to collaborate in regular group sessions to solve problems in a drug-free environment, participate in individual counseling, engage in family therapy, attend daily 12-step meetings, and partake in addiction education classes. We also offer medication management services.
We have developed a specialized treatment track tailored to professionals, such as medical workers, attorneys, judges, social workers, and licensed professional counselors. This track explores topics such as work addiction, caregiving, caretaking, ethics, career adjustment issues, and self-image.
For loved ones, we have a family program that encompasses counseling, education, and a two-day family workshop. Additionally, we have a relapse track for individuals who struggle with maintaining their recovery. This track involves extensive work to identify and explore triggers.
