Find Out If Care Is Covered
Getting Into Treatment Shouldn't Be Hard
Addiction is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. If you’re ready to take that step — or someone you love is — we want to make it as simple as possible. NOLA Detox offers same-day admissions, accepts most major insurance plans, and provides free transportation from communities across South Louisiana.
Call or text us anytime: 504-446-1111. We’re available 24/7.
The NOLA Detox Difference
How we stack up against a typical detox center.
| What we compare | NOLA Detox | Typical Detox Center |
|---|---|---|
| Who Runs Your Care |
Yes.
A board-certified psychiatrist (MD) sees every patient. Real doctors and nurses on site, around the clock.
|
Limited.
Often nurse-run, with a doctor only on call or stopping in for quick rounds.
|
| Food And Comfort |
Yes.
Three chef-quality meals a day from local spots like Copeland's, plus regular crawfish boils, BBQs, and cookouts.
|
Limited.
Cafeteria trays on a set menu. Basic coffee or a vending machine at best.
|
| Levels Of Care |
Yes.
Every step in one place, from detox through aftercare. You stay with the same team, up to a full year.

Usually one step, like detox only. Then you start over somewhere new.

Rubber twin sized mattresses, dormitory-style bathrooms, no phones and no tv.

|
Limited.
Less affordable pricing, narrower insurance acceptance, and limited transportation assistance.
|

Yes.
Local food, music, and culture are built into treatment, so you learn how to enjoy life sober right here at home.

A clinic-only setting with little local flavor or fun built into the day.

| Mental Health Support |
Yes.
We treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more right alongside addiction, all under one roof.

Many treat the addiction only and send you elsewhere for mental health help.

How Admissions Works
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you call. Our admissions team handles the details so you can focus on getting here.
Step 1 — Call or Text Us
Reach us any time of day or night at 504-446-1111. One of our admissions coordinators will pick up. No automated systems, no long hold times — just a real person ready to help.
Step 2 — We Verify Your Insurance
Give us your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits on the spot. Most calls take just a few minutes. If you’re uninsured or underinsured, ask us about private pay options and treatment scholarships — our goal is to remove financial barriers, not add them.
Step 3 — We Build Your Treatment Plan
Based on what you share with us, our clinical team will recommend the right level of care — detox, inpatient, outpatient, or a combination. Every plan is individualized. No one gets a cookie-cutter approach here.
Step 4 — We Can Help With Transportation
NOLA Detox provides transportation assistance from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Metairie, Houma, and surrounding communities to our New Orleans and Slidell campuses. Just ask when you call.
Step 5 — Arrive and Begin
Same-day admission is available. When you arrive, our team will welcome you, complete your intake assessment, and get you settled. You don’t have to have everything with you. You just have to show up.
Treatment Scholarships
Our goal is to remove financial barriers so patients can receive the care they need. Treatment scholarships are sometimes available. Please contact us for more information and to discuss your options.
