Getting to Our Facility from Metairie

Our goal is to make access to care easy for everyone. That is why we provide free, coordinated transportation services for individuals traveling from Metairie directly to our campuses. 

Those in crisis, who don’t have a car, or just need stress-free transportation, can work with our admissions team to arrange for safe regional pickup options. 

If you don’t want to use our services, you can easily reach either our New Orleans or Slidell campuses from Metairie.

Driving to Our New Orleans Residential Campus

Our primary residential and inpatient medical facility is located in an expansive, scenic setting at 4201 Woodland Drive, New Orleans, LA 70131. Getting here from Metairie means taking I-10 East toward downtown New Orleans. Then, navigate onto the US-90 Business East across the Crescent City Connection bridge toward the Westbank. From there, it’s a short drive off General De Gaulle Drive East, about 25 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic across the river.

Our Comprehensive Levels of Care 

At NOLA Detox, we separate ourselves from other, regional clinics by providing a full, continuous spectrum of addiction care under a single clinical team. This means that clients don’t have to complete a single tier of treatment and then relocate to a new provider. Instead, clients can transition seamlessly through every stage of recovery up to a full year with our highly trained staff. 

Medical Detox

For many clients, the first stage of care involves detox, and for those struggling with addictions to substances like alcohol or opioids, this can extend to medication-assisted treatment.

At our facilities, we provide 24-hour supervision during this withdrawal phase, with board-certified physicians and psychiatric nurses available to provide medication-assisted treatment where necessary. This type of care includes FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol to safely minimize painful withdrawal symptoms and help clients reduce the cravings they experience, not just during their initial withdrawal but during the rest of their recovery.

From there, clients transition into an inpatient or residential treatment program. For those using FDA-approved medications, this is a necessary step that includes access to individual and group therapy at either our Slidell or New Orleans location.

During our residential programs, clients can step away from local triggers in the Metairie area and from stresses in their home or work lives, and focus entirely on recovery. This provides daily therapy schedules, peer group therapy sessions, holistic opportunities, meals from local restaurants, milk and cookies at night, and fun cookouts.

After inpatient care or for those with mild to moderate symptoms, our levels of outpatient treatment make it possible to step down into flexible care that accommodates other personal or professional obligations. Residents in Metairie who, for example, need to get back to work can utilize our outpatient programs with a short commute to our New Orleans campus, getting treatment multiple times per week.

Those clients struggling with a co-occurring mental health disorder like depression, anxiety, or PTSD can participate in our dual diagnosis mental health treatment program. We provide specialized programs for those struggling with substance use disorders and mental health disorders at the same time. 

This is a critical level of care for clients, providing access to coping skills, trigger management, and even medications to better control or balance symptoms associated with overall mental health. This ensures that the symptoms that may otherwise spark a relapse can be diminished.

Once clients graduate our programs, they can transition into our alumni network, an opportunity for ongoing support including routine wellness check-ins, sober gatherings like our sober gathering area at Mardi gras, and ongoing peer accountability.

Why Metairie Residents Choose NOLA Detox

Clients who are looking for drug rehab in Metairie consistently go beyond the immediate city limits and choose our facility because the travel across the river provides a physical boundary for many, they get access to an all-in-one team, and they can enjoy inclusive and dignified care.

Accessibility

We have a residential treatment center in New Orleans as well as an outpatient location, and just recently opened our new Slidell facility with inpatient and outpatient services on the same campus. Those looking for care in Metairie can access our free transportation to the Slidell campus and our main New Orleans residential campus.

While there is a commute associated with getting to our facilities, that commute can provide physical distance between individuals in recovery and their local social circles, substance networks, and everyday stressors. That said, our facility is still close enough for families to easily participate in programs like family therapy or support sessions.

All-In-One Team

Many local Metairie programs provide only standalone detox services, meaning a client must start over with a new facility and therapist for subsequent rehabilitation phases. NOLA Detox lets you stay with the exact same trusted clinical staff for up to a full year of continuous growth.

Inclusivity

At NOLA Detox, we stand out for our firm commitment to treating every client with unconditional dignity. We provide a fully inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly clinical environment where individuals from all walks of life can heal safely without fear of judgment.

Our goal is to connect clients who are ready for care to the right program, right away.

We offer same-day admissions and are available 24/7. If you are ready to verify your insurance, call our team today.
