Questions people ask about BHG New Orleans Westbank Treatment Ctr

Which levels of care does BHG New Orleans Westbank Treatment Ctr have?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and New Orleans is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Does BHG New Orleans Westbank Treatment Ctr offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Gretna, about a mile away.

Is treatment available in Spanish at BHG New Orleans Westbank Treatment Ctr?

Yes, they treat people in Spanish. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Gretna has 8 other centers to ask the same of.

Does BHG New Orleans Westbank Treatment Ctr treat people who are pregnant?

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Gretna may not have a second place set up for it.

Does BHG New Orleans Westbank Treatment Ctr offer appointments by video?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Gretna differ on it.

What is there in Gretna that costs nothing?

Gretna has 16 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Do I have to stop my prescriptions?

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

What if this is not the first time?

A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. Programs will usually ask what happened last time, and the answer shapes what they offer. Nothing about calling again is unusual. Intake lines hear it daily.
