Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic

Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic is an outpatient addiction and mental health clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana that's operated by the Northwest Louisiana Human Services District.

It offers outpatient and intensive outpatient care, medication assisted treatment, counseling and integrated care for co occurring disorders.

Since it's a public safety net clinic and not a private rehab it shapes who can get in and how they pay for treatment.

Welcoming Everyone for Recovery

As a district run public clinic I like Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic accepts everyone regardless of ability to pay with a sliding fee schedule based on income and family size.

It also takes Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, self pay and most commercial insurance. It's also CARF accredited across its behavioral health clinics.

For someone in Shreveport without insurance or with limited income this removes the most common barrier to treatment entirely.

The center isn't concerned with fancy amenities other facilities may offer. It's goal is to serve you with the necessary tools to overcome addiction and mental health challenges.

Priority Admission for Pregnant and Injecting Drug Users

The clinic gives priority admission to pregnant injecting users first then injecting drug users and pregnant substance abusers.

This service offers helps for a group of people who often aren't served in other clinics. Eligible people in these groups can be fast tracked into enrollment rather than waiting on a list.

They have on site nursing services that include HIV, STD and pregnancy testing delivered with behavioral health treatment, so high risk patients can address medical and substance use needs in one visit.

For a pregnant woman who uses drugs in Northwest Louisiana that combination of fast access and integrated medical care is genuinely uncommon among general outpatient settings.
