Questions people ask about Ochsner Addictive Behavior Unit

What treatment does Ochsner Addictive Behavior Unit offer?

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in New Orleans is set up for.

What does Ochsner Addictive Behavior Unit detox from?

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 2 places near New Orleans that do it.

Is Ochsner Addictive Behavior Unit an option for someone over 65?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of New Orleans.

Is there anything in New Orleans besides paid treatment?

New Orleans has 61 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Who are the programs at Ochsner Addictive Behavior Unit built for?

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and New Orleans has 8 other centers to ask.

Can I bring my own medication?

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

Will my treatment be kept private?

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.

Is there a bed available now?

It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. The longest lists sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.
