Levels of care
- Outpatient
- Outpatient care lets people keep jobs, classes, and family duties while they get help. For many in Louisiana, nothing in daily life has to pause.
- Aftercare support
- Staying connected after a program ends is the heart of aftercare, with support that follows a person into daily life.
- Co-occurring disorders
- If just one condition gets attention, the other can undo progress and hold recovery back. That is why care in Louisiana keeps both the substance use disorder and the mental health condition in view.
