Our Lady of the Angels Hospital

They provide inpatient hospital and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Bogalusa is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Bogalusa.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Bogalusa.

The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Bogalusa, and there are 2 inside 14 miles.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Bogalusa has 2 other centers to ask.

Family sessions, education evenings and a visiting schedule are the usual shape of it. A household that changes nothing while one person is treated puts that person back into the same week they left. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

Programs are sold in blocks and recovery does not work in them, which is the tension inside this question. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Leave anything valuable at home rather than arguing about it at intake.
