Capital Area Recovery Program (CARP) is a short-term, co-ed residential treatment program for adults facing substance use challenges and co-occurring disorders throughout Louisiana’s East Baton Rouge Parish. The residential facility is nestled on Wooddale Boulevard in North Baton Rouge, about three miles north of BREC’s Riverfront Plaza and the Magnolia Mound Plantation House. It’s a structured, peaceful and supportive yet interactive setting that encourages personal reflection, accountability and peer connection.
CARP is a program of Capital Area Human Services (CAHS), a trusted leader in substance use treatment that’s been serving the broader Capital Region of Louisiana since 1996. It is highly affordable with coverages accepted through Medicaid, Medicare and many private health insurance plans. They support individuals from diverse backgrounds and unique circumstances, including those with trauma histories and justice-involved clients.
Social Detoxification & Evidence-Based Therapy
Recovery at CARP begins with social detox following a biopsychosocial intake assessment. During this non-medical detox, you’ll receive 24/7 supervision and expert care in a nurturing setting to help you safely manage withdrawal symptoms. Once stabilized, you’ll transition to the main residential program.
This involves daily structured therapeutic support that draws from proven methods like CBT to promote emotional regulation and strengthen coping and relapse prevention skills. Therapy groups address stress and anger management, parenting challenges and the emotional impact of past trauma through specialized trauma therapy. Specialized therapeutic support for justice-involved residents addresses criminal patterns of thinking while promoting prosocial behavior.
Medication-Supported Recovery & Psychiatric Care
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be part of your individualized care plan if you’re facing primary opioid use disorder. This involves using FDA-approved medications like Suboxone to ease withdrawal symptoms and lower the risk of relapse. If you’re also dealing with underlying nicotine dependence, medications such as Chantix may be prescribed to support smoking cessation.
Psychiatric medication management is integrated into the broader treatment to help you manage co-occurring mental health conditions and support emotional stability. Screening and referral support are provided for those navigating problematic gambling behaviors. Wraparound services include tailored discharge planning, job placement and assistance with finding stable housing.
Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
-
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
