Staff
Our experienced and appropriately credentialed multidisciplinary treatment team includes addictionologists, psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, certified substance abuse counselors, psychiatric social workers, substance abuse technicians, certified recreation therapist and dietician. Many of the staff are recovering themselves, and have both a personal and professional commitment to helping persons with addictive problems. Experienced and compassionate, Acadiana Addiction Center staff work together as an interdisciplinary team to assist each patient and their family members through the treatment process.
We believe that addiction is a primary problem 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. Through these courses of action the patient can begin the process of recovery from the shame that surrounds their illness, and learn how to relate to self and others in healthier ways.
