About Longleaf Hospital Mental Health & Addiction Treatment – Alexandria
Longleaf Hospital Mental Health and Addiction Treatment is an inpatient facility providing services for substance use disorder recovery and behavioral issues. The center, located on the southern bank of the Red River in Alexandria, Louisiana, has 139 beds and accepts all major insurance plans, including Mississippi Medicaid, Medicare and Tricare for military families.
Specialized Care for Diverse Local Population
Addiction and mental health issues affect individuals from all walks of life. However, the clinic recognizes that treatment must be tailored for a person’s background to augment its success possibilities. That’s why this center offers specialized programs for teens ages 12 to 17, others for adults, and even dedicated support for veterans and their unique challenges.
Comfort and Clear Communication are Prioritized
While each patient experience is unique, while reading reviews from past clients, I appreciate how they highlight the staff’s compassionate nature and how they keep families informed about their loved one’s progress. The clinic even goes the extra mile by preparing food that is adequate for children’s tastes, so they feel closer to home while accessing care.

I revisit this review occasionally, and I notice new ones that are sad. This place should be shut down, people deserve so much better.
*****Most, if not all the 5-star ratings are by employees.*****
Went to the hospital in Lafayette for an anxiety attack and was given two shots. I was completely out of it. I signed paperwork I don't even remember. Got to longleaf and it was awful. Flies everywhere vomit that was never cleaned and blood on the bathroom walls. The staff is absolutely useless. The first night there I had sleep paralysis and after trying to press the call button for the nurse I found out that the call buttons didn't work, and the staff had never heard of sleep paralysis and had to Google it. There is no therapy there just a deck of playing cards and coloring books. They keep you doped up and twist your words around to keep you confused. They never contacted my therapist or psychiatrist, which they should have. They had two separate sexual incidents while I was there that the techs did not report, but rather bragged and joked about them. I told my work that I was out of town for a family emergency and was told by my Dr. that I was childish for telling them that and that prolonged my stay for 2 more days. I would not send my dog there and will be following up with social services. Don't go there.
Don't go here if at all possible. Most of the techs have the worst attitudes and don't have any compassion. They just want to make the money and go home without a care in the world for those who need the most care. This place will make you worse until you get the right medicine that lets you tolerate their ill attitudes and unwillingness to help. I'm pregnant and that meant absolutely NOTHING to them when I would ask for something to eat for morning sickness even after the NP put an order in for it. It was horrible. They really need 0 stars. On the positive side, there was ONE nurse that made me feel cared for and had compassion. Her namee is Constance and she is a doll. That's the only 5 star comment I can make about this place. Also I did not go into this place out of my mind either so I wasn't blind to the mistreatment. Some go in with psychosis and don't realize how badly they are treated until them come to and see it. I was fully aware of everything I assure you.
Admissions is rude. I was told that I have to have a severe case for going in to be treated or that I have to have physical wounds on my body in order to go for depression and that they have to be new or bleeding. Worst place EVER !

Accepted Insurance
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 AddictionSpecialized 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 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.
