About

About New Vision

New Vision at LaSalle General Hospital is a hospital-embedded inpatient withdrawal management and medical detox program in Jena, Louisiana, operated by SpecialCare Hospital Management — a national network of hospital-based detox programs spanning 36 states and three Canadian provinces. The Jena site brings inpatient detox capacity to LaSalle General Hospital, allowing the local community to access medical stabilization for substance use disorders without traveling to a distant facility.

New Vision’s model focuses specifically on short-stay inpatient withdrawal management for adults with drug, opioid, alcohol, and benzodiazepine use disorders. Patients receive medical monitoring, withdrawal symptom management, and coordinated discharge planning that connects them to longer-term rehabilitation when ongoing residential or outpatient care is appropriate. The program publishes specific guidance on benzodiazepine detox — a high-risk withdrawal that benefits from inpatient oversight — and provides explicit LGBTQ+ affirming care.

Veterans are welcomed and well represented in New Vision’s patient population, with prominent testimonials from Veteran clients across the network. The Jena program accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state-funded coverage, and self-pay, making it accessible to a broad range of adults in central Louisiana and surrounding rural parishes.

New Vision is a BayMark Health Services company. SpecialCare’s executive team includes President & CEO Anthony J. Torrente, Medical Director Scott Erickson, MD, Vice President of Clinical Services Matthew Walters, MSN, RN-BC, FIAAN, and Vice President of Operations Robin Denicola, M.S., CAP, SAP, BCBA. The Jena program is the entry point for many central Louisiana residents who need medically supervised detox before stepping into longer-term recovery care.
