Adult Chemical Dependency Program

About our Program

The professionals at Acadiana Addiction Center have provided quality Chemical Dependency Treatment for more than 20 years in the Lafayette area.  Acadiana Addiction Center offers care for male and female adults faced with the challenges of alcoholism and drug dependencies. 

An experienced and appropriately credentialed treatment team includes addictionists, psychiatrists, psychologists, certified substance abuse counselors, psychiatric social workers, psychiatric technicians, occupational therapists, nurses.

The staff has years of personal experience with recovery and treatment of addictions along with treatment for patients afflicted with coexisting psychiatric disorders.  We believe that addiction is a primary drive that must be managed through education, cognitive restructuring, emotive therapies, and the experience of learning to live addiction free.  Each of these processes helps the patient unearth the issues that drive their addiction and learn how to halt the addictive response.   In doing so, they begin to recover from the shame that surrounds their illness, and learn how to relate to self and others in healthier ways.

Before admission to any of the Addiction programs, patients undergo a comprehensive assessment of their physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and family needs to determine the most appropriate level of care. After the assessment, the patient will be placed in the level of care most appropriate for their needs.

 

Experienced and appropriately credentialed treatment team, led by the attending addictionologist or psychiatrist, then develops an individual treatment plan for each patient and meets regularly to review each patient's progress and to update treatment goals.  A clinical case manager, assigned upon admission, works closely with each patient and their families to ensure that the treatment plan is meeting his or her changing needs.

Acadiana Addiction’s chemical dependency treatment program is among the most affordable in the southern United States. It is covered by most insurance plans. It meets American Society for Addiction Medicine criteria and is fully licensed by the State Department of Health and Hospitals.
