PHASE I

Stabilization

Detox, rest, and recovery are the first steps of stabilization. Access 24-hour nursing care and The Gold Standard of addiction medicine to help you feel better. We encourage you to participate in clinical therapy services and meet your community of peers.

PHASE II

Preparation

Preparation is designed to help you begin your recovery journey through education and comprehensive clinical therapy services. As you begin to feel better, you will learn the biology of addition and start building your toolbox of recovery resources.

PHASE III

Action

Action is the core principle of effective and sustained recovery. This is the phase where you will start mentoring patients in earlier phases. As you put one foot in front of the other, this is where you will begin to practice the principles of recovery in all of your affairs.

PHASE IV

Vision

The Vision phase aims to give you a hopeful outlook through a personalized plan to guide your life in recovery. After a community graduation ceremony,  you will leave NOLA Detox with an individualized post-treatment plan which typically includes intensive outpatient services.

Why Our Treatment Works

Addiction treatment does not conform to a cookie-cutter approach. Everyone’s path to recovery is different, and we’re equipped to help our patients find and commit to theirs.

Once a patient is admitted, the NOLA Detox treatment plan ensures they have the time needed for recovery, with an attentive team of experts caring for them and all the comforts of a nice hotel.

Modern Treatment

By using medication-assisted treatment, we’re able to offer detox methods that are more comfortable for patients.

Medicine helps stabilize and put the brain into repair and transformation mode. Our medical treatments are based on neurobiological studies and designed to repair the long-term effects of drug use. Our aim is to guide each patient to wellness, not just sobriety.

We use progressive treatment modalities, including pharmaceuticals or non-pharmaceuticals that meet each patient’s needs, such as long-term injectables, like Sublocade and Vivitrol, as well as medication like Suboxone, which help patients meet their long-term recovery goals.

Our therapy practices are also evidence-based, following Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles.

The Biology of Addiction

During the initial phases of treatment, we also discuss the science of addiction with patients, helping them understand this illness and the key to recovery.

Post-Treatment Care

Before patients leave NOLA Detox, they are given individualized post-treatment plans to help them continue their life in recovery. We use technology to help with the transition, including care coordination apps, wearable devices, and digital therapeutics. Each patient is given a guide for after-care programs and services customized to their needs.

Our team of licensed professionals provides the best addiction care available in New Orleans, focused on evidence-based supplements and holistic treatment.

HOW DOES INPATIENT DETOX WORK?

Inpatient detox at NOLA Detox & Recovery Center provides a safe, supportive environment where you can begin your recovery under 24-hour medical supervision.

The process starts with clearing substances from your system while carefully managing withdrawal symptoms to keep you as comfortable as possible. As your body begins to heal, you’ll also have access to evidence-based therapies, including individual and group counseling, to start addressing the emotional and behavioral aspects of addiction. If needed, our team may incorporate medication management to support both your physical and mental well-being.

Throughout your stay, you’ll be surrounded by a compassionate team and a community focused on helping you take the first meaningful steps toward lasting recovery.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DETOX AND REHAB?

Detox and rehab are two distinct but connected steps in the recovery process.

Detox is the first phase, focused on safely managing withdrawal symptoms and helping your body clear substances with the support of medical care. It’s about stabilization — resting, recovering, and starting to feel physically better. Rehab, on the other hand, goes deeper. It involves therapy, education, and structured support to address the emotional, behavioral, and psychological aspects of addiction.

While detox prepares you for recovery, rehab helps you build the tools and strategies needed to maintain it.

WHAT TYPES OF SUBSTANCE ADDICTIONS DOES NOLA DETOX TREAT?

At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, we treat a wide range of substance addictions along with co-occurring mental health disorders.

We help individuals struggling with opioid addiction, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription pain pills, as well as alcohol, marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids, stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamines, and sedatives such as benzodiazepines and muscle relaxers. We also treat addictions involving psychedelics and hallucinogens like LSD, MDMA, and ketamine.

Because addiction often doesn’t exist in isolation, we also address underlying mental health conditions like anxiety and depression to support long-term healing and recovery.

WHAT ARE THE PHASES OF INPATIENT TREATMENT AT NOLA DETOX?

Inpatient treatment begins with stabilization, helping you rest, recover, and safely manage withdrawal symptoms with around-the-clock nursing care. During this time, you’re encouraged to begin clinical therapy and connect with a supportive community of peers.

As you start to feel better, you’ll move into the preparation phase, where you’ll learn about the biology of addiction and begin building the tools needed for long-term recovery. The next phase, action, focuses on applying those tools in your daily life and supporting others in earlier stages of treatment.

In the final phase, vision, you’ll work with the team to create a personalized post-treatment plan, which often includes intensive outpatient services to support your transition forward.

HOW MUCH DOES INPATIENT REHAB COST?

The cost of inpatient rehab can vary widely depending on factors like the length of stay and the level of care needed.

At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, we accept most major insurance plans, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Coverage levels vary depending on your specific plan and provider, so we recommend contacting our admissions team for a personalized insurance verification and cost estimate.

If you don’t have insurance, we’re committed to helping you explore private payment plans to make treatment accessible. Our goal is to ensure that cost doesn’t become a barrier to your recovery.

WHEN IS RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT NECESSARY?

Residential treatment is often necessary when substance use has reached a point where outpatient care is no longer enough.

If you’re experiencing frequent relapses, struggling to stay sober in your current environment, or dealing with intense withdrawal symptoms, a structured residential setting can provide the support you need. It’s also recommended for those with co-occurring mental health conditions, unstable home situations, or a history of unsuccessful treatment attempts.

At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, residential treatment gives you the time, space, and expert care needed to focus fully on healing, without the distractions or triggers of everyday life.

IS RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CONSIDERED INPATIENT?

Yes, residential treatment is considered inpatient care. It means you live at the facility full-time and receive 24/7 support from a team of medical and clinical professionals.

At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, this setting allows us to provide a safe, structured environment where you can focus fully on healing through therapy, peer support, and ongoing medical care.

WHAT IF I AM SLIGHTLY ADDICTED BUT STILL WANT HELP?

If you feel even slightly addicted and want help, that’s a valid and important reason to reach out. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to benefit from treatment.

Early intervention can make a big difference, whether you’re using more than you’d like, having trouble cutting back, or just feeling concerned about your relationship with substances. Getting support now can help you regain control and prevent things from getting worse.

There’s no threshold you need to meet to deserve help. If you’re asking the question, it’s worth exploring your options.

DOES REHAB CURE ADDICTION?

Rehab doesn’t cure addiction, but it gives you the tools, support, and structure needed to manage it.

Addiction is a chronic condition, which means it requires ongoing care and commitment, much like diabetes or high blood pressure. Rehab helps you understand the root causes of your substance use, build healthier habits, and develop strategies to prevent relapse.

Recovery is a lifelong process, and while there’s no quick fix, treatment can set a strong foundation for lasting change.

WHAT IS LIVING IN A TREATMENT CENTER LIKE?

Living in a treatment center means stepping into a structured, supportive environment where your days are focused on healing — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, we combine expert medical and clinical care with the warmth of Southern hospitality. That means you’ll be surrounded by compassionate staff, comfortable accommodations, and a sense of community that helps you feel at home.

Each day includes a balance of therapy sessions, wellness activities, and time to rest and reflect, all in a setting designed to make you feel safe, respected, and supported as you work toward recovery.
