Drug & Alcohol Detoxification Facilities in Louisiana

The Gulf Coast area of Louisiana has a large number of detox centers. This includes New Orleans, Lake Charles, and everything in between. The central area of the state has almost none, with the exception of Midway just northeast of Alexandria. The northern part of Louisiana has fair detox coverage as well. There are several detox programs in Shreveport and Monroe. There are also several more scattered along the length of I-20.

Once detox is complete, seeking aftercare is often recommended. This can take the form of inpatient, outpatient, or even residential treatment. Louisiana currently has 120 providers offering outpatient treatment, 24 offering inpatient treatment, and 47 offering residential. These residential programs include short term and long term addiction treatment services. Whether you're looking for drug or alcohol rehab, Louisiana has SAMHSA-approved treatment options for you.

In 2020, Mental Health America ranked Louisiana at 41st place for access to mental healthcare. This means that there are not nearly enough mental health services in the state given the prevalence of mental health issues. This is even more of a problem when dealing with dual diagnosis substance abuse and mental health issues. Someone who is struggling with these issues has a much lower chance of recovery unless they get dual diagnosis treatment for both conditions. These types of rehab programs provide many more behavioral therapy treatment options than traditional rehab facilities.

If you or a loved one is struggling with a substance use disorder in Louisiana, then help is available. There are several dozen options for substance abuse treatment throughout the state. These Louisiana drug rehab centers can help you break free from addiction.

Drug Abuse in Louisiana

While Louisiana has long been known as a place to take it easy, there is a significant drug problem in the state. Louisiana is part of a drug trafficking corridor from Central America to Canada. This corridor has seen heavy drug trafficking activity for several decades. The state also acts as a distribution hub for drug trafficking organizations throughout the country. The heavy presence of drugs passing through the state results in large amounts of drugs being available on the street. In February of 2021, there was a drug bust that seized 220 pounds of cocaine in the Port of New Orleans. Back in 2018, a New Orleans court indicted 9 men for trying to smuggle around 7,000 pounds of cocaine through the Gulf of Mexico.

Additionally, in 2016 Louisiana also placed 6th in the country for prescription opioid-involved overdose deaths. More recently in 2018, the CDC reported that Louisiana healthcare providers wrote 79.4 opioid prescriptions for every 100 Louisiana residents. This is significantly higher than the 2018 national average of 51.4 opioid prescriptions for every 100 people. Finally, between 2020 and 2021, overdose deaths in Louisiana increased by over 56 percent. There were over 2,100 overdose deaths in Louisiana during 2020. This is higher than almost any other state in the country.

In addition to fentanyl and opioid overdose issues, Louisiana is also having a severe methamphetamine problem. As of 2017, crystal meth was the drug associated with the most overdose deaths in Louisiana. Near the end of 2020, the New Orleans DEA Field Office made over 400 arrests and seized over 700 pounds of meth in Louisiana. This came after a years-long investigation into crystal meth distribution in the southeast. New Orleans and several other southern cities were identified as major crystal meth trafficking hubs.

Louisiana Addiction & Detox Statistics

  • According to state records, there is an average of 26 people hospitalized from drug and alcohol use per week in Louisiana.
  • From March 2020 to March 2021 there were 2,163 drug overdose deaths in Louisiana.
  • Despite the opioid addiction that has been occurring in Louisiana, alcohol remains the number one most abused substance in the state. In fact, it’s estimated that there are 120,000 Louisiana residents who have abused alcohol over the course of any given year.
  • Underage alcohol consumption remains a major problem in the state of Louisiana. According to surveys, approximately one in every three Louisiana adolescents have used an illicit drug at least once over the course of the past year. Approximately ten percent of Louisiana high school students have also abused painkillers recreationally in the past year.
  • Between tobacco products and marijuana, approximately twenty percent of Louisiana high school students have smoked at least once over the course of the past month.
