Hospital Detox

Co-occurring disorder care is a central focus at Baton Rouge Behavioral Hospital, where adults receive integrated treatment for substance use and mental health conditions in a 47-bed hospital setting staffed by psychiatrists, nurses and therapists.

Hospital-level detox options include buprenorphine and naltrexone-assisted protocols for clients who need medically supervised stabilization.

Treatment draws on approaches such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, the Matrix Model and 12-step facilitation.

Sessions work to address trauma, mood symptoms and behavioral patterns driving substance use.

Relapse prevention planning and case management help build a sustainable path forward.

This higher-acuity level of support is well suited for clients whose addiction is deeply tied to serious mental illness or trauma.
