About

About Longbranch Recovery Center

Longbranch Recovery & Wellness operates a full continuum of addiction and mental health care across the greater New Orleans region. The flagship campus sits on Highway 36 in Abita Springs, where medical detox and residential treatment unfold on a quiet, wooded Northshore property designed to feel more like a retreat than a clinic. Intensive Outpatient Programs run five nights a week from satellite locations in Covington and Metairie, allowing clients to keep work and family commitments while continuing structured care.

The clinical model is built around what Longbranch calls a 360-degree approach: evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and 12-Step Integration combine with mindfulness, yoga, family workshops, and nutrition prepared by a private chef. Dual-diagnosis care addresses trauma and underlying mental health issues alongside substance use rather than treating addiction in isolation. Programs are designed for men, women, active-duty military, professionals, and entire family systems.

Veterans receive dedicated care through the N.O.R.A. (No One Recovers Alone) House, an extended-care residence offering substance use and mental health treatment for those who have served. The center is in-network with TRICARE and accepts most major private insurance plans, with self-pay and sliding-scale options for clients without coverage. Joint Commission accreditation and CARF certification anchor the facility’s quality assurance program.

Discharge is the beginning, not the end. Longbranch offers long-term case management, a Next Steps program for graduates of residential or IOP care, ViviHealth-platform relapse monitoring, and ongoing family programming. Admissions answer 24/7 at 504-399-5383, and the team provides free insurance verification before intake.
