Amazing place, saved my life. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with addiction
I spent a little over three weeks at Palmetto. Those three weeks were the most important of my life thus far, and I'll never be the same. For all of their faults, at its core, there are some truly amazing aspects to the experience they offer so long as you truly want to make a change in your life.
The most powerful part of the experience for me was the small groups. I was very lucky to have the counselor that I did for the majority of my time there, as every counselor seems to have a very different approach. My counselor was very much a fire and brimstone type of person who was quick to call me and others out on being dishonest with ourselves, which I believe to be the cornerstone of personal growth (being forced to face our self-inflicted faults).
In small group, I watched a man lay his entire life out on a piece of paper and esentially present all that he is and all that he has experienced in his time on this planet to us. Through that exercise, we all watched this guy come to the realisation that he had lost sight of all of the great things he'd done in his life, and spent years soley identifying himself by a few small bumps in the road he'd experienced. He seemed to realise how pigeon-holed he'd become in his way of thinking and how blind he'd been to the man he really is and became overwhelmed with emotion. It was like you could literally see the pain evaporting from this guy. And through that experience, and many other similar experiences, I was forced to take stock of my own life and see where I'd lost sight of the big picture, and it was through that process that I found what I desperately needed from this place.
There's so much good there, and so much potential. But still, there were things that were just flat out not right. One man showed up after drinking over a 5th a day for months, and needed to be in a monitered bed detoxing, but instead was forced by a very grandiose and uncaring staff member named Liz to particiapte in morning exercises. During these exercises he collapsed to the ground and could have busted his head open.
Another man came in with a similar situation and was essentially tossed into a room and left to detox with limited supervision while pumped full of Librium. He got up to use the restroom and actually did fall down and busted his head open and had to be taken to the hospital.
I watched two counselors publicly verbally attack a man for falling asleep during meetings when that man was in the process of getting tested for narcolepsy. And not only that, but was also very visibly having a rough time in life and a rough time adjusting to the program and it was blatantly obvious that there was absolutely no benefit to publicly attacking this gentleman and the whole exchange left both him and me very, very deeply bothered.
There is a reoccuring theme amongst staff there, who have clearly had one-too-many run ins with a certain flavor of rude drug addict, that they allowed those exchanges to effect the way they view and treat all individuals in the program. It seemed to turn into it's own version of the stanford prison experiement where certain staff members forgot that they were there to help a population that desperately needed and wanted that help, and instead took any opportunity to attack and shame and shit on them through some kind of misguided attempt at tough love. And it's not to be said that there isn't a time when an individual absolutely needs a more stern approach to get through to them, but there is a time when that is beneficial and a time when it is absolutely detrimental.
But at the end of the day, I am roughly 38 days sober, and even for all its faults, I do not think I would be here without the help of Palmetto. It gave me a distraction free environment inwhich to paint a pefect mental picture of what I want in life and how to get it. I met some amazing people and found a sense of community, likely for the first time in my life.
I typed this more for personal closure than anything else, but best of luck to anyone seeking help.
Palmetto has been a blessing to my family!!

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.
Financing your treatment can make treatment more accessible. You'll work with your care provider to set up payment plans, including interest rates and repayment timelines. Financing options vary widely and not all programs offer them, so be sure to get the full details before enrolling in treatment. If you have insurance or other benefits, financing may help you cover your remaining out of pocket expenses.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
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.
Palmetto's Intensive Outpatient Program for Chemical Dependency subscribes to the theory of addiction as a chronic, progressive and potentially fatal disease. The disease has biological, psychological and social repercussions for the individual and the family. Their program is used as either a primary treatment modality or transitional treatment modality following a residential stay. The length of the program is based on the patient's individual needs and the assessments from the counselor and patient's physician. The Intensive Outpatient Program for Chemical Dependency provides intensive treatment for clients with substance abuse problems or a combination of substance abuse and co-occurring psychological disorders.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The medical staff reviews each individual case in order to assess a suitable detox protocol. Care is given to each patient to help ensure a safe, therapeutic transition from active substance abuse.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
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.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
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.
When you participate in dialectical behavior therapy, you'll work on recognizing distorted thinking patterns that are guiding your emotions. You'll learn how to change these patterns to eliminate unproductive reactions. This involves developing better coping mechanisms to handle stressful situations.
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.
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.
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 relationships play a vital role in the recovery process. Palmetto's Continuous Family Counseling Program is committed to enhancing and strengthening family relationships for the individual in treatment as well as for family members.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingIf 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.
In Louisiana, trauma therapy helps you explore the impact that a traumatic event has had on your life. You can experience emotional and physical responses if you witness or experience a traumatic event. Your therapist guides you in processing the trauma and then developing coping strategies that improve your quality of life.
