Louisiana Medicaid Detox Center Opens in Lake Charles

An exciting and much needed new addition to the region’s mental health care system has recently opened in Lake Charles. New Steps Detox Addiction Treatment Center is dedicated to expanding access to care across Southwest Louisiana and offers programs for clients receiving Medicaid. 

The facility is staffed with addiction professionals and includes medically supervised detox and recovery treatment. 

Addiction Recovery in Southwest Louisiana

The center is near the heart of Lake Charles and easily accessible to the Acadiana region. They’re open and ready to assist clients throughout the Scott, Broussard, Opelousas and New Iberia communities and surrounding locations.  

The team strives to remove treatment barriers by accepting major health insurance plans as well as Medicaid. They are focused on personalized care that addresses each person’s recovery story. 

Offering MAT and Extended Care

The staff at New Medical Detox Center considers it an honor to work with guests and help them overcome addiction through compassionate and comprehensive treatment. 

Clinic owner Roy Viger mentioned how expanding to the Southwest Louisiana region allows them to serve and support more people. The goal is to help as many people as possible regain control of their lives with lasting sobriety. 

Treatment emphasizes the diverse needs of residents and offers specialized care for veterans. The program recognizes the unique challenges their clients face with addiction.

Their medication assisted treatment (MAT) services combine FDA approved addiction recovery medications with counseling and therapy sessions to work through traumas and find the root causes of substance use. It aims to provide stabilization and a strong foundation for recovery. This helps clients to remain comfortable and safe as they withdraw from substances and advance in their recovery.

Aftercare planning is a vital part of the program and helps veterans have a blueprint for successful sobriety with continued recovery support. 

Simple, Fast Enrollment

Those requesting treatment only need to make a phone call. Enrollment is simple and private. The team will conduct an in-person evaluation within 24 hours to help them determine a care plan that targets the person’s emotional, mental, and medical needs and goals. 

Medically supervised detox is a critical first step in overcoming alcohol, opioid, and benzodiazepine addiction. With Medicaid coverage now available in Lake Charles, more people in Louisiana can begin recovery with the support and safety they need.
