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!!

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)

University Health Care

TRICARE

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.

Accreditations

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.

UPDATED 2: They followed up with my email and I talked with a patient advocate this morning. I was able to give them some information about the case and hopefully will be able to help. UPDATED: Emailed and awaiting response or would prefer a phone call to the number I left in the email. A family member is there and is about to be released after just 48 hours. They did not talk to any other family members about his mental breaks and bouts of screaming at imaginary people or how he thinks the FBI and CIA are after him. If they do release him after just 48 hours without inquiring about any of his behavior they should be shut down because they are not a real hospital and are not interested in actually treating illnesses in people. Anyone else notice the same responses on review after review. Just cut and pasted as a response. Shows how little they actually care about their patients. They are only in it for the money they get from the people forced there by the courts or police. They don't actually care about helping people get better. Watch I will get the same canned response from this review.

The feedback we receive is very important to us, and we are grateful that you took the time to share this. Thank you.

Needed assistance for a close family member this week who was experiencing suicidal thoughts. I was skeptical when reading reviews however once admitted our family had the best experience. So easy to contact and check on our family member and the counselor Jason kept in touch which us and was very helpful. She was released today and only had good things to say about the staff and facility. She even bragged on the food.

We can’t thank you enough for leaving this review! We’re so grateful that you took some of your valuable time to provide feedback. <br>

This place is the definition of a juvenile detention center. It houses children to teens that have been PEC’d ( short term )for s/h ideations with others that are long term with OJJ and DCFS. This place is not a therapeutic environment At all!! If you’re looking for “SCARED STRAIGHT “ this is the place to be. Key essential staff are Nurse Sam , Nurse Brandy, and SW Tiffany . Oh and the psych doctor will never call the parent or guardian for the record .

Your feedback deeply concerns us, but we appreciate you sharing it. We strive to provide the utmost in excellent care, so if you would be open to sharing more information, please connect with us directly by emailing Feedback@LongleafHospital.com. Thank you.

I was in Longleaf for a week during August of 2023, and I'm 14. I'll be honest here, Longleaf is way better compared to certain mental hospitals. Either way, it could still improve on a WHOLE lot of things. A lot of the staff at Longleaf are very neglectful (Not all of them but most of them). When I was first admitted into Longleaf, I cried like any other person would. I was away from my family, locked in what I felt like was a prison, and I felt hopeless. I had just gone to my room and cried out while hiding under a blanket. There was a certain lady with red hair who comforted me while I was crying, and I really appreciated that. It goes to show how caring and thoughtful some of the staff can be with patients and their own job. On the OTHER hand, some of the staff can be pretty neglectful and horrible. I had switched the TV onto South Park since nobody else was around besides one other guy and I was getting bored. Apparently South Park is prohibited in the facility (Which I hadn't known of). Due to me turning on South Park, they decided to take the remote to the TV. They took the remote to the TV, and didn't even BOTHER change it off of South Park?? I perfectly understand the reasoning of why they took the remote, but the fact that they didn't change the South Park shows how much they really care. During your stay at Longleaf (Or any hospital for that matter), you'll most likely encounter a few people with mental disabilities that are just generally different from other people. Sometimes those people acted out, and fought with other patients. The staff would break up the fights, but they yelled out slurs (The r-word) at the patients. It was honestly really disgusting to see, and I felt really bad for the kid who was just being mentally battered by the staff. I also don't believe privacy is really too protected, especially among the patients. Now I won't rat out who it was, but one of the patients managed to read all of the information about all of the patients (Every patient is asked a series of questions just to obtain information about them). I had told the person who asked me questions that I was bisexual, and then one morning I heard from him that "someone was gay". It was most likely me he was referring to. I personally think that this was just a flaw among one of the staff members, but I believe privacy SHOULD be respected for every single patient. Another thing, but the hospital doesn't help you WHATSOEVER. The only way they do help you is by prescribing your medicine to take. You don't get any sort of therapy while in the hospital, and most of my days were spent just hanging around doing nothing (They do have activities like P.E, drawing, Bingo, etc... Though they only last one hour per day). I was also supposed to be getting a therapist after my stay at Longleaf, but they never gave me one and completely forgot about me. One last thing, but I believe on my 3rd or 4th night a huge fight broke out. During the fight, some girl tried to kill herself by hanging because she was being sent home the day after. When it was morning, I came to realize that the girl was still being sent home. This honestly disgusted me, especially since the parents are to blame for her suicidal thoughts and she nearly KILLED herself because of them. If you're looking towards putting your child in a mental hospital such as Longleaf, I suggest you look for other options. Giving your child a therapist can really benefit far more than a mental hospital if I'm being honest. Being put into a mental hospital can honestly be really traumatizing for a child depending on what hospital you put them into. Longleaf overall isn't an abusive environment, but it isn't a helpful one either. I was here for a week, and you can trust me on this. :D They don't care, and they won't help you.

Worst place in the world for a child. They don’t care about the children safety. It is more like a jail. Constant fights breaking out. The staff at this place are very rude and do not care about anything. Please at all cost do not let anybody send your kid here.

Thank you for sharing this feedback; however, it was disheartening to read. To best understand the concerns, we ask that you please reach out to us directly at Feedback@LongleafHospital.com so that we can gather more information.

I just got out of this place the day before yesterday and it is actually horrible. i’m 16 years old and i was there for attempted suicide. they lied to me multiple times saying that i would be released after my 72 hour hold and i ended up being there for 6 days. not once was there any sort of therapy where i could actually talk to someone and figure out how to help my depression. the only thing they did was prescribe me medicine. the only thing we did all day was sit in the day room. the first day i was there the only thing we did was watch tv and then we got to watch it a little bit after that but they were always lying to us about the remote. one staff told me it was lost then another told me it was broken and then different tech told me that we didn’t even have a remote and that it belonged to one of the other units. so majority of my time there was spent doing absolutely nothing. we did have group and school and times where we would go in the art room or the gym but this was only maybe one or two hours out of the day. the only thing we did in school and the art room was color. and the fights were actually scary. there was one point where me and all the other girls had to go in our rooms because a girl was going crazy in the halls and screaming on the top of her lungs and biting one of the techs. this place isn’t safe at all. coming from a kid who just left here and didn’t get any help at all, don’t. send. your. kid. here.
