About

About Ness Center

Ness Center is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 23699 Quail Lane in Mandeville, Louisiana, within Saint Tammany Parish. The center treats alcohol addiction and opioid addiction alongside co-occurring disorders such as trauma/PTSD, anxiety, and depression, positioning it as a resource for individuals who need both withdrawal management and mental health support under one roof.

The facility’s continuum of care begins with medical detox — the critical first phase for individuals dependent on alcohol or opioids who require supervised withdrawal management before moving forward in treatment. Following detox, clients can step into residential treatment for more immersive support, or transition into an outpatient program or intensive outpatient program (IOP) as clinical needs evolve. This structured progression across four distinct levels of care allows treatment intensity to be matched to where a person actually is in their recovery, rather than defaulting to a single program type.

Therapeutic methods at Ness Center include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family counseling. The facility also maintains a daycare center on-site — a practical feature that removes a significant logistical barrier for parents seeking treatment. Services are delivered in English, and the center operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Ness Center serves a broad range of populations: men, women, adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, veterans, pregnant women, postpartum women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance — making access to medical detox and treatment realistic across a wide range of financial situations.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management at Ness Center

For individuals dependent on alcohol or opioids, medically supervised detox is the necessary first step before any other treatment can be effective. Ness Center provides medical detox as the entry point of its care continuum, allowing clients in Mandeville and the broader Saint Tammany Parish area to begin withdrawal management in a clinical setting rather than attempting to detox without professional oversight.

After completing detox, clients at Ness Center can move directly into residential treatment or, depending on clinical need, into an outpatient or intensive outpatient program. This built-in progression means the transition between levels of care happens within the same CARF-accredited organization — reducing the disruption that often derails treatment when patients are transferred between unrelated facilities.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Intensive Outpatient

Ness Center operates four levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, standard outpatient, and intensive outpatient (IOP). Each level serves a different phase and intensity of need. Medical detox addresses the acute physiological risks of withdrawal from alcohol or opioids. Residential treatment provides structured, immersive support for those who need a higher level of care beyond detox. The outpatient and IOP tracks allow clients to continue treatment while managing daily responsibilities.

The availability of IOP is particularly relevant for individuals transitioning out of residential treatment who need continued clinical structure without full-time inpatient status. Family counseling is among the therapeutic methods offered, which can be valuable at any stage of the continuum.

Who Ness Center Serves

The populations served at Ness Center span a wider range than most single-site treatment facilities. In addition to general adult programming for men and women, the center specifically serves adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, veterans, pregnant women, postpartum women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. TRICARE is accepted, making Ness Center a concrete option for active-duty military personnel and veterans navigating addiction treatment.

The on-site daycare center is a distinguishing feature for parents — particularly mothers in postpartum or pregnancy-related treatment — who might otherwise face the impossible choice between childcare and seeking detox or residential care. This operational detail reflects the facility's attention to the real-world obstacles that prevent people from entering treatment.

Payment Options for Detox and Treatment at Ness Center

Financial barriers are one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid seeking detox. Ness Center accepts a broad range of payment sources: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, self-pay/cash, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance. This range means that individuals across most financial situations — including those on government insurance or with limited income — have a realistic path to accessing medical detox and subsequent levels of care.
