Victory Addiction Recovery Center

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lafayette has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

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 Lafayette offer one at all.

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 Lafayette may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

They prescribe naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Lafayette, not all of them do.

They offer a program for veterans, 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 Lafayette has 8 other centers to ask.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. If a place pressures you to commit on the call, that is information.

Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Calling several places on the same day is the normal approach rather than an impatient one. Ask what is available this week, not just what the program is.
