About the Facility

Beacon Behavioral Hospital, in Lacombe, Louisiana, provides comprehensive mental healthcare services for adults, including specialized programming for clients with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. They offer inpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient (OP), and aftercare programming, including dedicated services for seniors.

Beacon Behavioral, LLC is Louisiana’s premier full-service Mental Health Program. Our highly-trained, caring therapy staff provides comprehensive and confidential treatment to those suffering from depression and other mood disorders, changes in behavior, psychosis and major declines in functioning.

CO-OCCURRING PROGRAMMING AT INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM:

At times, patients may have a substance abuse or dependence diagnosis along with a mental health diagnosis. They may have self-medicated their symptoms with alcohol or drugs, making it difficult to determine if the addiction or mental health issue presented itself first. We refer to this as a co-occurring condition.

An untreated mental health condition will make a person more vulnerable to substance abuse. Likewise, relapse will worsen a mental health condition. Our co-occurring treatment team includes psychiatrists and knowledgeable counseling staff who can help patients manage their mental health and substance abuse simultaneously.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program can address co-occurring issues in a comfortable, supportive setting with a focus on the following:

Attainment of cognitive and behavioral skills needed to manage symptoms and to develop new social supports
Identification of behavior and attitude changes necessary to achieve and maintain successful recovery, including how to effectively manage relapse
Education of participants regarding the factors that may have led to the episode
Drug and alcohol education

Inpatient addiction treatment relies heavily on mental health services that are designed to help simultaneously address both the addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Inpatient facilities offer 24-hour access to mental health clinicians and medical or clinical staff. Treatment plans usually include individual and group counseling, addiction and relapse prevention education, and coping skills training. Additional offerings that benefit mental health include family therapy, recreational therapies, yoga, and mindfulness training may be available.

Clients enrolled in outpatient rehab typically need less intensive supervision and support than those in inpatient care. Clients may continue to work and attend school while participating in addiction counseling and recovery education during the evening, night, or weekend. Clients also often enter intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment immediately upon exiting residential care, which provides them with high-level step-down support as they reintegrate into their homes and communities.

bed-front iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
