<p><strong>ABOUT CHOICES OF LOUISIANA, INC.</strong></p> <p>With locations in Alexandria, LaPlace, and Northshore, Louisiana, Choices of Louisiana, Inc. runs three of the Pelican State's <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">10 opioid treatment programs</a>. The centers are private outpatient facilities that help adults aged 18 and older recover from a <strong>year or longer of opioid dependency</strong> though medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The facility utilizes either <strong>Suboxone</strong> (available at <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">40 facilities</a> in Louisiana) or <strong>methadone</strong> (available at <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">10 facilities</a> in Louisiana).</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>On arrival, clients should be in a <strong>state of mild withdrawal from opioids</strong>, provide evidence that they can pay for treatment, and addicted to opioids for at least one year. Exceptions to the duration of addiction are made for pregnant women, people with a history of relapse, and those involved in the criminal justice system. The ultimate goal is to move toward a drug-free lifestyle, if this is possible for the client.</p> <p>As well as receiving medications, clients participate in <strong>individual, group, and family counseling,</strong> including treatment for any <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring mental health disorders</a>. The center's therapeutic philosophy is client-centered and draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and reality therapy. </p> <p>During treatment, there will also be an opportunity to discuss matters such as relapse prevention, legal issues, and <strong>securing basic necessities such as food and housing.</strong> Clients might also be advised to attend 12-step fellowships such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings, though this isn't a requirement. There is also a <strong>dedicated treatment track for pregnant women,</strong> which addresses the health needs of both the mother and the baby.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The organization employs a multidisciplinary staff of certified, licensed, and <strong>registered addiction counselors</strong>, state-licensed psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and other qualified professionals.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com hasn't yet polled any Choices alumni, but the organization currently has <strong>mixed feedback on secondary sites</strong>, with an average rating of 4.5 stars based on 11 reviews on Facebook (where Choices can curate its own page), plus two one-star ratings, two two-star ratings, a four-star rating, and two five-star ratings spread between Google, YellowPages.com, and CiteHealth.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a></small> </p> <p>The negative reviewers repeatedly cited <strong>high prices and rude staff.</strong> "They are the most expensive clinic. All of the people who work there look down upon you. I can't wait to transfer away from this place," one anonymous reviewer wrote on CiteHealth. But the positive reviewers repeatedly described the program as <strong>life-saving</strong> and particularly praised the <strong>caring staff.</strong> "Amazing staff, helped me tremendously. I love love love my counselor she really cares. Life-changing and realistic expectations," Carrie wrote in a representative review on Facebook.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date, a loved one writing anonymously, would strongly recommend treatment at Choices. "Day by day programs to enable the patient to make small steps in his recovery," they wrote, also praising the doctors and staff and giving the center five stars for its holistic offerings, family participation, counseling options, and ability to treat co-occurring disorders.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Choices accepts some insurance, though the facility's website does not specify which companies. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center four out of five stars for its affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/ChoicesOfLouisiana/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/ChoicesOfLouisiana/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=choices+of+louisiana+laplace+la&oq=Choices+of+Louisiana+laplace+la&aqs=chrome.0.0l2.1942j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x8620cdf5a2008b9b:0x55db584738fd9e3e,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yellowpages.com/hammond-la/mip/choices-of-louisiana-at-northshore-467071568?lid=467071568" target="_blank">https://www.yellowpages.com/hammond-la/mip/choices-of-louisiana-at-northshore-467071568?lid=467071568</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> <a href="https://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/louisiana/cities/laplace/choices-of-louisiana-inc#reviews" target="_blank">https://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/louisiana/cities/laplace/choices-of-louisiana-inc#reviews</a></small></p>
