If you are looking to make your mental health condition worse than it already is this is the perfect place for you. Upon my departure i was informed that my bag I brought with me was lost. It normally wouldn't be an issue but my carkeys were in the bag. I finally get in contact with someone after 2 days of trying and they informed me that my bag has been found but I'll have to come up with a solution to receive it. I live an hour and a half away and I tried to reiterate to these people that my CARKEYS are in the bag that LONGLEAF lost. I asked if they would like me to walk to get my carkeys because clearly I cannot use my vehicle to come receive the bag that was "lost". The lady of course replied with a condescending attitude "Sir, once again we need you to find a solution to retrieve your bag". Clearly logical thinking is not required to become an employee at Longleaf. Like I said earlier, if you have a mental condition and are looking to worsen it significantly I would recommend you visit for a stay at Longleaf.

My 15 year old daughter is currently here. Getting ahold to her by calling NEVER works, I know that the staff isn't that busy not to answer a phone at all. My daughter said that they held her down numerous times and gave her 4 "calm down" shots all at once(she's 113 lbs.) Their was also a girl there that kept fighting all of the other patients, she was one of the girls that got beat up and a chunk of her hair was pulled out. She said that the staff didn't do anything except watched. She called and asked if I could have her transferred. She called her aunt and her aunt asked to speak with the nurse (Debbie) where Debbie cussed out her out and hung up on her. Her aunt was nice about the question she had but the nurse got rude and hung up. My daughter also said she had to drag her cot in the hallway because sugar ants were crawling around while she was trying to sleep. The visitation room was cold and their were girls in paper gowns with only socks on..in a cold room. Their is also a male(that thinks he's a female) working in the adolescent girls unit. I would not suggest this hospital at all. Very unprofessional, I haven't heard from her doctor at all in the entire 2 weeks she's been there. Their is no area for playing outside at all. It looks like walking through a jail in there. I didn't get to talk to anyone about her conditions before she went into the back. Just the receptionist saying "they will call you". Since then the only time I hear from a nurse is for my ok for them to give her a new medication. Other than that don't even call up there because they won't answer at all. This is Unit A. The nurses also held her down and stripped off her clothing because another girl said she was hiding something, they didn't even find anything on my daughter at all. I wish this place would shut down to prevent more emotional abuse to children. Her aunt asked if they had cameras(that's when the nurse started yelling and cussing and then hung up.) We wanted to see what happened. My daughter has bruises all of her body from this place.

Accepted Insurance

Longleaf Hospital Mental Health & Addiction Treatment – Alexandria works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

BCBS of Louisiana

Managed Health Network (MHN)

TRICARE

University Health Care

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs enable participants to focus on their long-term sobriety through rigorous peer support and ongoing personal growth. They engage in regular, peer-directed 12 step meetings and receive one-on-one mentoring by a self-selected sponsor. Meetings are free, anonymous, and available multiple times a day, 365 days per year in most communities. Though 12 steps of recovery are rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation isn't mandatory. Specialized programs are widely available, including youth and family meetings.

24-Hour Clinical Care

Initial phases of rehab treatment often require 24-hour clinical care in Louisiana. This supervised treatment offers three main benefits. Medical staff can provide medications to treat withdrawal. Clients can also benefit from having 24-hour nursing staff available to treat any other physical symptoms. Lastly, this setting ensures that professionals are constantly available to address any emotional or mental health issues related to the addiction or co-occurring disorders.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab gives clients a chance to focus on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment away from outside distractions, stressors, and addiction triggers. Clients reside at the treatment facility and engage in intensive psychotherapy, which may include individual, group, and family counseling.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients engaged in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) participate in multiple treatment sessions weekly. Typical treatment modalities include individual, group, and family counseling, addiction and recovery education, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and evidence-based holistic therapies. Most intensive outpatient rehabs require clients to engage in a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 treatment hours per week. Many clients enter IOP after stepping down from intensive inpatient care, but some may enroll immediately after completing detox.

Medically Assisted Detox

The first step in the addiction recovery process involves flushing all addictive drugs and alcohol from your body while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, this level of care takes into account that quitting your drug of choice cold turkey can be very dangerous once you've become physically dependent. In a medical detox, your team of medical professionals helps to ensure your safety and comfort. Most people transition to an inpatient treatment or maintenance program upon completion.

Outpatient

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.

Treatments

Alcoholism - also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), alcohol dependence, and alcohol addiction - is a chronic condition that describes a form of problem drinking that causes harm to a person's health and relationships. To treat AUD, alcohol rehab in Louisiana is usually necessary. This typically involves three phases: medical detox to safely withdraw from alcohol, rehabilitation through evidence-based therapies, and support for long-term recovery maintenance.

While each drug rehab in Louisiana offers unique elements, recovery support often follows a similar pattern. Detox is followed by inpatient and/or outpatient care, then aftercare support is provided once the participant completes the initial program.

Mental Health And Substance Abuse

Opioid Addiction

Specialized substance abuse treatment programs in Louisiana can address addiction and any co-occurring mental health disorders. These programs offer a range of care options, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. Expert clinicians utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused therapy to address substance abuse and promote mental health. Other recovery supports include 12-Step meetings, skills workshops, psychoeducation, and an aftercare plan to enhance your chances of long-term recovery.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding dynamic between family members. Therapists assist families in identifying and changing negative, harmful patterns while improving open and honest communication. This provides a stable foundation for the recovery journey.

People gain great insight into the patterns of behaviors and the triggers that underlie addiction when they participate in group therapy sessions. Your peers will discuss their experiences and strategies they use to manage addictive behaviors, offering you a greater opportunity to learn coping skills that work.

If you are struggling with motivation to change, motivational interviewing is designed to help. This method typically involves one or two sessions with a therapist. The technique helps you understand your motivations and empowers you to make changes to reach your goals.

These people just don't care at all. Had no routine, and no therapy. The food was so disgusting. The techs played rap with cuss words in it please don't send your loved ones here

Taylor Damron

During my stay, I suffered multiple seizures (four in total) which were serious and frightening medical events. Despite my clear and urgent attempts to seek help, describing symptoms including involuntary head movements and loss of bodily control, my seizures were dismissed by medical staff. Instead of receiving appropriate medical attention, I was told that my symptoms were related to “blood pressure issues,” which I know was not accurate based on my experience and history. At one point, I was forced to crawl out of my room and scream for medical help due to the severity of the episode, but was met with harsh and dismissive treatment by the night staff, who ordered me to “get in your bed now” rather than providing the urgent care I needed. My seizures were not properly documented in my medical records, and the neglect and lack of proper monitoring put my health and safety at great risk. I believe this represents a significant failure of care, professional negligence, and a violation of the trust patients place in Longleaf Hospital. This experience has caused me lasting trauma and distress, and I share it now with the hope that the facility will review and improve its protocols for managing patients undergoing detoxification, especially those with complex medical needs.

If you wanna see sunlight or get “fresh air” , you’ll have to go outside with the smokers for one of the 7 daily smoke breaks. A small courtyard with a prison high wall and two patches of turf grass. It was a constant fight to get anything I needed from med nurses but we all cowered in fear of them keeping us there longer than necessary. They do not care about food allergies and I personally witnessed a patient remind again and again to both cafeteria staff and the shift nurses about her allergies and on her last day there watched the cafeteria lady tell her that she never recieved word nor was it on her dietary restrictions paperwork. The beds are so uncomfortable I experienced Sciatica. Some techs and most nurses are great, but just one or two ruin the vibe for the whole shift. The food is terrible and unseasoned which I understand for dietary restrictions but never understood why they would interrupt interns group activities in one day room when we could easily have willing participants in the day room connected to the drs room. Out of fear of not being able to pay my bill with my limited PTO, I had my mother contact my company and had a 15 day time limit to get some paperwork filled out for a work release to be filled out by my psych after I was discharged only my appointment was set for the day before the deadline and it was obviously missed. I was discharged on the 3rd and I still cannot return to work. Even though group is not required they will turn the phones off. The items I would have washed while there almost always came back smellier. There’s two tvs and incomplete puzzles and crayons to mess with if you get bored. I was lucky enough to have family drive me up a paperback book and a unit patient who shared her coloring books and markers. Several patients had little to no spare clothes and the paper scrubs handed out would not hold up and leave some exposed. We would have to beg and plead to use the gymnasium and I missed group . They keep the day rooms extremely cold ( I am always hot) and will not allow blankets in them for reasons . All in all for my first experience I was told it was tame and better than other places but they could definitely improve.

My daughter is being admitted today from another hospital due to suicide attempt.. after reading the reviews, I am terrified. She needs help, not punishment. Any other options available in Louisiana?? I'll pay out of pocket!

My son has been a patient here at least three times. Never in my life have I experienced such a lack of care or progress in healing They keep the patients long enough to get that little bit of insurance money then kick them to the curb to continue to be addicts AND/OR mentally unstable persons who don’t take their meds. (with no recourse) Trust me when I say- ALL THEY WANT IS THE MONEY and they have zero concern for the actual well being of their patients. I actually had one of the medical professionals hang up on me. What’s even more sad is I don’t know where else to go? There has got to be a better solution. Mental health is real and it matters!!

Keep your loved ones far away from this place. They took someone during a non-psychotic manic episode, pumped her full of STRONG meds, and put her into major psychosis. If you’re a family member and want to know what’s happening with your loved one (say, your wife, or the mother of your child), good luck getting anyone to speak with you. I will say, the nurses and some other staff try to assist as much as they can. But you won’t get anything useful from a Doctor. Other than they’re pumping your loved one full of meds and we’ll see how that goes. But hey, if you have good insurance, they will keep someone in there almost 3 weeks, well past the 15 days.

We appreciate your willingness to provide this feedback, although it's unsettling to read. As our goal is to provide clinically excellent care, we would appreciate being given an opportunity to learn more about the circumstances that led to this review.
