About Us
YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY
Treatment for New Orleans By New Orleanians.
NOLA Detox and Recovery Center was built on a simple belief: people in the middle of one of the hardest moments of their lives deserve more than clinical indifference. They deserve genuine care, real comfort, and a team that shows up for them — every single day.
Founded by Chris Copeland and Dan Forman, NOLA Detox draws on something most treatment centers don’t have: firsthand knowledge of what addiction does to a person, and what it takes to come back from it. Both founders come from backgrounds in entertainment and hospitality, and both have been personally touched by addiction. That experience didn’t just shape their empathy — it shaped every decision about how this place was built.
Through every phase of treatment, the NOLA Detox Family is here to guide patients through their path to recovery. We’ve recruited a strong team of professionals with specializations in medical care, therapy, nursing, and more to provide the highest level of quality treatment for our patients.

What makes NOLA Detox different
NOLA Detox Team is committed to bringing a world-class recovery option to New Orleans with medication-assisted treatment, a comforting atmosphere, and true Southern hospitality.
FEEL BETTER FASTER
That’s not a marketing slogan.
It’s the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
At NOLA Detox, we use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and evidence-based clinical care to reduce the physical discomfort of detox and stabilization as much as medically possible. We believe that when patients feel physically supported from day one, they’re able to engage more deeply in the work of recovery — and that better engagement leads to better outcomes.
Our approach combines the most current advances in therapeutic science and medical intervention with an environment that actually feels like a place you’d want to be. Because healing shouldn’t feel like punishment.
SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
New Orleans has a culture built on warmth, community, and taking care of people. That’s not something we just talk about at NOLA Detox — it’s something we live.
Our founders built their careers in hospitality before turning that expertise toward something that matters more. The result is a recovery environment that’s thoughtfully designed, attentive to comfort, and staffed by people who genuinely care about the individuals in their care — not just the condition they’re treating.
From our campuses in New Orleans and Slidell to our sober living residences, every space at NOLA Detox is designed to help you feel safe, seen, and supported.
