Drug & alcohol rehab centers in Shreveport, LA

Our listings are built to help you compare rehab centers in Shreveport on the factors that matter most when choosing care: level of care, treatment specialties, payment and insurance options, and accreditation. We prioritize facilities that hold independent accreditation from the Joint Commission or CARF, maintain active state licensing, and provide clear, verifiable information about the services they offer.

We do not accept payment in exchange for a higher position in our results. Facilities are organized to surface complete, accurate, and useful information first, so you can weigh your options side by side.

Listings are reviewed and updated regularly, but details like bed availability, accepted insurance plans, and program offerings can change. We recommend calling any facility directly to confirm current details before making a decision.

Shreveport is the seat of Caddo Parish and the anchor of the Ark-La-Tex region in northwest Louisiana, with a parish population of roughly 252,000. There are 26 rehab facilities in and around the city, spanning medical detox, residential inpatient care, and outpatient services.

Many local programs also treat co-occurring mental health conditions, reflecting how often substance use and conditions like depression or anxiety appear together. You can compare additional programs across the state through the Louisiana rehab directory.

Behavioral health in the region is coordinated in large part by the Northwest Louisiana Human Services District, the state Local Governmental Entity that manages publicly funded mental health and addiction services for Caddo and eight surrounding parishes.

Longstanding local providers include the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse of Northwest Louisiana (CADA), a CARF-accredited nonprofit offering residential and outpatient care with dedicated tracks for pregnant women and mothers with children,

Hospital-affiliated programs at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport and Willis-Knighton round out the available treatment options. Together these organizations give the city a mix of nonprofit, public, and hospital-based addiction treatment options.

Two overlapping trends shape the substance use picture in Shreveport. Opioids, increasingly driven by fentanyl, remain a serious concern. Caddo Parish recorded about 70 opioid-involved deaths between 2019 and 2023, part of a statewide total of 1,083 opioid-involved deaths in 2023 alone.

At the same time, providers and harm reduction workers in the area report that methamphetamine is among the most common substances they encounter, a pattern that distinguishes northwest Louisiana from parts of the state where opioids dominate.

Anyone weighing options for opioid use disorder should ask prospective programs about medication-assisted treatment specifically.

Caddo Parish received more than $3.6 million in opioid litigation settlement funds through late 2024, money the parish and its partners are directing toward prevention and response efforts.

For families, the practical takeaway is that both public and nonprofit help exists locally, and that the first step is usually a screening or assessment to match a person with the right level of care.

The cost of rehab in Shreveport depends on the level of care, program length, and whether treatment is covered by insurance. Because facility-level pricing in the city is not published in a standardized way, the most reliable reference point is the statewide average for Louisiana.

These figures reflect the full cost of care before insurance, Medicaid, or financial assistance is applied, and most people pay far less than the sticker price once coverage is factored in.

Shreveport sits in a lower-cost region of the state than metro New Orleans, so local out-of-pocket costs are often at or below these statewide averages. The single biggest factor in what a person actually pays is insurance.

Verifying your benefits before admission is the most effective way to control costs. Many local programs will check coverage for you at no charge. Learn more about using insurance for rehab before you commit to a program.

Of the 26 facilities in the Shreveport area, most accept some combination of self-payment, private insurance, and public coverage. Nineteen accept self-pay or cash, 18 accept private health insurance, and several programs accept public programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

A handful of programs also offer sliding-scale fees, financing, or financial assistance for those who qualify.

The right payment path depends on your coverage and financial situation. The sections below break down the most common options available to Shreveport residents.

Shreveport offers a full continuum of care, from medically supervised detox through residential inpatient treatment and outpatient services. Local facilities include 13 detox programs, 17 inpatient programs, 21 outpatient clinics, and 11 that treat co-occurring disorders.

Medical detox is often the first step for people who are physically dependent on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. Supervised medical detox manages withdrawal safely and prepares a person for ongoing treatment. Detox alone is not a complete treatment; it works best as an entry point into further care.

Inpatient and residential programs provide 24-hour structured care, typically over 28 to 90 days. Residential treatment is well suited to people with severe substance use disorders or unstable home environments, offering a stable setting removed from everyday triggers.

Outpatient care, including intensive outpatient programs, lets people live at home while attending scheduled treatment. Outpatient rehab ranges from several sessions a week to weekly check-ins, making it a common step-down from residential care or an option for those with work and family obligations.

Dual diagnosis programs treat substance use and mental health conditions together. Because conditions like co-occurring depression frequently accompany addiction, integrated treatment tends to produce more durable results than addressing either condition alone.

For people leaving a residential program, rehab aftercare such as sober living or continuing outpatient support helps protect early recovery. Several local programs also offer medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders.

Beyond standard levels of care, many Shreveport-area facilities offer programs tailored to specific populations or substances.

These specialized tracks address the distinct needs of groups like women, veterans, and young adults, as well as the two substances most reflected in local treatment demand: alcohol and opioids.

Seventeen local programs focus on alcohol use disorder, the most commonly treated substance in the area, and seven offer dedicated care for opioid use disorder.

Four programs serve veterans and military families, a meaningful option given the Barksdale Air Force Base community nearby; see our rehab resources for veterans and military.

Three programs describe themselves as LGBTQ+ affirming, and 12 offer young adult tracks that address young adult and college student substance use. Women's programs, including CADA's tracks for pregnant women and mothers with dependent children, are available at eight facilities.

Cost should not be the reason someone in Shreveport goes without help. A network of public agencies, nonprofits, and harm reduction programs offers free or low-cost support, from crisis lines to publicly funded treatment. The resources below are organized by the kind of help they provide.

Substance use in Caddo Parish reflects both the national opioid crisis and a regional methamphetamine problem that local providers describe as widespread. The figures below draw on parish, state, and federal data to sketch the local picture.

Statewide, Louisiana has seen encouraging recent movement: drug overdose deaths fell about 30.8% from 2023 to 2024, the lowest count since 2020, with declines consistent across drug types and demographic groups, according to the Louisiana Opioid Surveillance Program (2025).

Even so, the state's age-adjusted rate of roughly 36 drug-involved deaths per 100,000 residents in 2024 remained high, and 23 parishes exceeded that rate.

Fentanyl continues to drive the majority of opioid deaths regionally, which is why access to naloxone and fentanyl test strips is a public health priority in the Shreveport area.
