Our Process

The Nola Detox Difference

In our IOP program, patients can continue to work, live at home, and sleep in their own beds at night while receiving the most innovative medical and clinical interventions to treat addiction. This is increasingly important since the spread of opioid usage has permeated all socioeconomic statuses, and we see more people with jobs or in school actively using substances. This is our way of democratizing addiction care so that everyone who needs it can access it.

After IOP

After completing an IOP treatment plan, patients should expect a continuum of care plans to support and promote their recovery. These involve follow-up visits, support group meetings, referrals to other healthcare providers, and family therapy sessions.

What to Expect in IOP

Our IOP programs combine individual therapy, medically assisted treatment under the care of a physician, group therapy settings, educational workshops, and coping skills education to allow our patients to meet supportive peers and maintain sobriety. Patients participate in 3 month programs with three-hour day and night classes offered four days a week. Please call us so that we can build a treatment plan for you.

Is IOP Right For You?

While IOP programs might be the most ideal rehabilitation choice, this type of treatment is not suited for everyone. An IOP may be most beneficial for your recovery if:

You’re transitioning out of a residential treatment program
Traditional inpatient treatments aren’t working
Work or family obligations make it difficult to stay away from home for an extended period

Frequently Asked Questions

WILL I RECEIVE MEDICATION AT NOLA DETOX IOP?

We have medical providers available if you wish to speak with them about medication options. We do not keep any medications on site, but we do offer prescriptions for medications if appropriate.

ARE IOP AND PHP PROGRAMS THE SAME THING?

Partial hospitalization programs, abbreviated ‘PHP,’ require a part-time inpatient stay, whereas IOP programs do not require an inpatient placement.

IS IOP COVERED BY INSURANCE?

To determine if an IOP program is covered by your insurance, give us a call at 504-446-1111. We will check your insurance policy for you. We accept most insurance plans at NOLA Detox IOP.

IS IOP A FORM OF REHAB?

Since IOPs are substance abuse and disorder rehabilitation programs, they are considered a form of rehab that is more intensive than traditional outpatient programs.

IS VIRTUAL IOP EFFECTIVE?

Virtual IOP programs can be just as beneficial as in-person rehabilitation and are a safe alternative to direct personal contact. These programs should be considered when a physical facility is not located near the patient’s home, or reliable transportation is not available.

CAN I DO REHAB AT HOME?

Rehabilitation in your home environment is a primary focus of the IOP. Successful rehabilitation from your home largely depends on strong family support and a professional healthcare team.

HOW MUCH DOES OUTPATIENT TREATMENT COST?

The cost of outpatient treatment can vary based on factors like the type of program, duration, and services provided. At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, we accept most major insurance plans, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. For those without insurance, we offer private payment plans to make treatment more accessible. Our admissions team can help you understand your coverage and explore payment options tailored to your needs.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND OUTPATIENT TREATMENT?

The main difference between residential and outpatient treatment is where and how you receive care. In residential treatment, you live full-time at the facility and receive 24/7 support in a structured environment. This setup is ideal if you need distance from daily triggers, close monitoring, or intensive care. Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, allows you to live at home and attend scheduled therapy sessions throughout the week. It offers more flexibility and is often a good fit for those with a stable living situation and strong support system. Both approaches can be effective. It ultimately depends on your needs, goals, and where you are in your recovery journey.

DO I NEED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT?

You might benefit from outpatient treatment if you’re looking for support while still maintaining your daily responsibilities at home, work, or school. It’s a great option if you’ve already completed inpatient treatment or if your substance use is less severe but still impacting your life. Outpatient care gives you access to structured therapy, peer support, and expert guidance without requiring a full-time stay. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, our team can help you assess your needs and recommend the best path forward.

WHAT IS OUTPATIENT ADDICTION TREATMENT LIKE?

Outpatient addiction treatment at NOLA Detox & Recovery Center offers structured support without the need to stay overnight.

You’ll attend three-hour therapy sessions four days a week, with options in both the daytime and evening to fit your schedule. Treatment includes group therapy, individual counseling, education about addiction and recovery, and support for co-occurring mental health conditions.

It’s a focused, flexible program designed to help you build coping skills, stay accountable, and maintain progress while continuing to live at home and manage your daily life.
