About Avenues Recovery Center

Avenues Recovery Center at Metairie sits at 4933 Wabash Street in Metairie, Louisiana, in Jefferson Parish just outside New Orleans. The facility is one of 18 Avenues Recovery locations across the country and operates as a community-based addiction treatment program built around a continuum of care that begins with medical detox and ends with long-term alumni support. SAMHSA’s findtreatment.gov confirms the program’s location, services, and TRICARE acceptance.

Levels of care at the Metairie campus include medical detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient counseling. The program treats adults across age groups including young adults (18-25) and older adults, and serves men, women, and military service members and veterans through a dedicated Military & Veterans track. Co-occurring mental health conditions, including trauma and PTSD, are addressed in dual-diagnosis programming alongside primary substance use treatment.

Clinically, Avenues emphasizes evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and group and individual counseling, layered on top of a recovery-community model the program calls ‘community-based treatment.’ The Metairie location is part of Avenues’ published outcomes work; the program states that 92% of active alumni are sober after one year, and that the average length of stay is approximately 60 days.

Payment options include Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, self-pay, and sliding-scale arrangements. Avenues is accredited by The Joint Commission and is LegitScript-certified. The Metairie campus can be reached at (504) 322-1651 or through Avenues’ national line at 888-683-0333.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

Avenues Recovery Center provides medically supervised detox with 24-hour medical monitoring for alcohol withdrawal, opioid withdrawal, and other substance dependencies. The medical detox program utilizes established withdrawal protocols to manage symptoms safely while patients transition from active substance use to recovery. Medical staff oversee the entire detox process, adjusting treatment protocols based on individual withdrawal severity and medical needs.

The facility's medical detox services address complex cases including patients with co-occurring disorders who require specialized withdrawal management. Medical supervision continues throughout the detox timeline, with staff trained to recognize and treat withdrawal complications. Patients can transition directly from medical detox into residential treatment programs at the same Metairie location, ensuring continuity of care.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-occurring Disorder Treatment

Medical detox at Avenues Recovery Center includes specialized protocols for patients with dual diagnosis conditions, addressing both substance withdrawal and mental health symptoms simultaneously. The treatment team manages detox for individuals with trauma histories, PTSD, and other co-occurring disorders that can complicate the withdrawal process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy begins during the detox phase to address underlying mental health conditions.

This dual diagnosis approach recognizes that many patients entering medical detox have underlying psychiatric conditions requiring concurrent treatment. The facility's experience with trauma and PTSD cases allows medical staff to provide specialized withdrawal management for patients whose mental health conditions intersect with their substance use disorders.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options

Avenues Recovery Center accepts multiple insurance plans for medical detox services, including Medicaid, TRICARE, and private insurance carriers. The facility offers sliding scale payment options and accepts self-pay arrangements for patients without insurance coverage. Veterans can utilize TRICARE benefits for both medical detox and continuing residential treatment programs.

Financial counselors work with patients and families to verify insurance benefits for medical detox and determine coverage for extended treatment programs. The acceptance of Medicaid expands access to medical detox services for low-income individuals who might otherwise face barriers to medically supervised withdrawal management.
