About Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center Lake Charles
Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center Lake Charles is a licensed intensive outpatient program serving adults, men, women, and young adults across southwest Louisiana.
The center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions using 12-step recovery principles, group therapy, CBT, EMDR and relapse-prevention education.
Rooted in the disease model of addiction, Palmetto offers compassionate, structured care that helps clients build lasting recovery while staying connected to work, school and family.
Addiction Treatment with Coping skills and 12-Step Education
The Lake Charles location specializes in intensive outpatient programming (IOP), offered as both a step-down option after residential care and a standalone path for clients ready to begin treatment while living at home.
A dedicated IOP Director oversees the program, ensuring location specific clinical attention.
Sessions meet Monday through Wednesday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., combining group therapy, emotional-stress coping skills and 12-step education.
Rather than a fixed length of stay, discharge is guided by each client's progress and the recommendations of their counselor and physician, allowing care to flex with real recovery needs.
Affordable Dual Diagnosis and Relapse Prevention Support
Palmetto Lake Charles also supports clients facing co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction.
Through evidence based modalities like CBT and EMDR paired with relapse prevention strategies, the team helps clients address underlying issues that fuel substance use and develop tools to maintain long-term sobriety.
Palmetto works with most major insurance providers, including private insurance and self-pay options, and offers no-cost assessments to prospective clients.
