About Townsend Treatment Center
Townsend Treatment Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is now closed. They boasted an innovative treatment model for alcohol and drug addiction that included outpatient medical detox and stabilization, along with medication assisted treatment (MAT). They were located in a residential area that offered access to local parks.
Holistic Approach to Overall Wellness
I liked that they offered a holistic approach to your overall wellness, including cognitive testing and ongoing chronic disease management. This helped address some of the triggers that could cause a relapse.
They provided a day and evening intensive outpatient treatment programs to accommodate your schedule and ensure that you received the treatment needed while still being able to meet some of your school and work responsibilities.
Customized Programming Could Include Genetic Testing
You received an initial assessment that helped determine the level of care required. Your customized program might include individual and group therapy sessions, participation in weekly family therapy, or medications that help biologically stabilize your brain chemistry.
Substance abuse education services helped you understand how your brain changes with chronic drug or alcohol use and genetic testing could identify medications that would be most helpful to treat your mental health conditions. They worked with many of the state’s insurance providers and contracted with another organization to take care of medical billing.
