New Day Recovery - Shreveport

They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Shreveport offer one at all.

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Shreveport has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Shreveport may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Shreveport, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask for an assessment before anybody recommends a level of care to you.

For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Coming off the medication early is a common point at which things come apart, so the planned length matters. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.
