    Levels of Care Offered

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Inpatient, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Inpatient Treatment Program

    The inpatient rehab at East Jefferson General Hospital Behavioral Health promises an intense and effective treatment. Inpatient rehabs are particularly recommended for those with a severe addiction to drugs. Detoxing at a rehab center ensures that the patient receives 24-hour medical supervision to ensure the best possible chance of recovery. Medical staff is readily available to intervene in case of withdrawal symptoms or other complications. This is not the case with outpatient treatment, where patients may be discharged after the detoxification process is complete.

    Inpatient facilities provide residential and holistic treatment, with access to experienced medical professionals and rehab specialists. This ensures the best possible recovery and is recommended for patients with severe addiction seeking drug treatment.

    Therapies & Programs

    Group Therapy

    A person looking for drug recovery should know that group therapy is an essential tool. Group therapy provides accountability and friendship to people with addiction. It is recommended as a lifetime treatment habit. Group therapy occurs in a group setting as opposed to a one-on-one setting. It benefits patients by providing a feeling of support and letting them know they are not alone. Patients at East Jefferson General Hospital Behavioral Health also learn to build trust and understanding and gain perspective through discussions.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that is focused on changing negative ways of thinking that contribute to addictive behavior.

    Cognitive behavioral therapy is beneficial for:

    • People who are seeking to overcome addictive behavior
    • Those who struggle with addictive behavior and mental illness
    • People who have a genetic history of addiction in their family
    • Those who don’t want to depend on medications
    • Those who need a more practical treatment approach

    Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)

    Thinking about nutrition is an odd thing when you’re strung out. You are probably so low physically that all you want to do is sleep, eat comfort food and get high again. It’s hard to imagine having enough energy to care about what kind of food you are eating but think about it. Your body has gone through some severe physical stress, so it is vital to give it the building blocks it needs to recover. It’s equally important to remember that malnutrition can affect your mood and energy level, which affects your desire to get sober.

    If you’re eating right, you’ll have more energy for productive activities, such as going to meetings or being with other sober people in Metairie, Louisiana. You’ll have more strength to fight cravings, and you won’t be so low that they are overwhelming. You will think clearly enough to make sober decisions. Finally, good nutrition helps keep your body strong against the familiar ravages of drug use–tuberculosis, hepatitis, abscesses, infections, etc.—as well as the physical symptoms of withdrawal.

    Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)

    Nicotine replacement therapy can help addicts reduce or eliminate their cravings for nicotine. By replacing the harmful substances in tobacco with less potent chemicals, most smokers can gradually wean themselves off cigarettes without experiencing intense cravings.

    During these sessions, a therapist will work with the addict to gradually reduce their dependence on nicotine by controlling how much they smoke and providing appropriate breaks between cigarettes. Using this type of therapy in combination with other strategies can help smokers learn how to quit smoking for good and avoid relapse.

    Patient Experience

    Experiential Therapy at East Jefferson General Hospital Behavioral Health

    Experiential therapy is a type of therapy that has been found to be effective in the treatment of substance abuse. It is a “hands-on” approach, which can involve anything from acting to rock climbing. The individual must trust the therapist for this therapy to work. This therapy helps individuals revisit and heal from past traumas and has been used in various behavioral and eating disorders.
