Step-by-Step Program from Stabilization to Recovery

The residential program offers a phased approach to treatment. Clients begin with stabilization, which focuses on rest, safety, and adjusting to a new environment. The next phase centers on education and clinical therapy, where participants learn more about substance use, mental health, and relapse prevention. In the action phase, clients begin applying recovery skills and may mentor others who are earlier in the program. The final phase includes discharge planning and developing a personalized aftercare plan to support long-term recovery.

Spacious, Luxury Campus

This facility is located on an 8-acre campus in New Orleans and offers both private and shared rooms with queen-sized beds and access to private bathrooms. Clients participate in daily schedules that include therapy, meals prepared by an in-house chef, and activities like yoga, walking, and group support. The setting includes green space, walking trails, indoor and outdoor seating, and quiet areas designed to reduce stress and support rest. Laundry is handled by staff, and the facility offers transportation assistance when needed.

A Culture of Connection and Continued Support

This facility prioritizes connection and building the recovery community. The program includes peer support, group therapy, and on-campus activities that promote shared experience through campfires, live music, and wellness practices. Alumni engagement is also a core part of the center’s approach, with ongoing opportunities for graduates and families to stay involved. Events include crawfish boils, sober safe spaces at Mardi Gras, sports games, and seasonal celebration. These gatherings are designed to help clients stay connected to recovery and reduce isolation after leaving the program.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
