About Victory Addiction Recovery Center
Victory Addiction Recovery Center is deeply rooted in Lafayette, Louisiana, and has served Acadiana for 13 years with more than 5,000 admissions, including 232 healthcare professionals treated through its dedicated Professionals Program. The facility maintains a 4.8-star Google rating and a satellite outpatient location in Metairie, giving clients access to a broad continuum of care across south Louisiana.
Clinical services begin with medically supervised detoxification, where 24/7 medical staff manage withdrawal symptoms safely. From there, clients transition to a residential inpatient program structured around individualized recovery plans. Step-down options include an evening-friendly intensive outpatient program (IOP) designed to fit alongside work and family responsibilities, and family therapy that brings loved ones into the recovery process. The clinical model is built on evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, with 12-step recovery integrated into the program as alumni and outside speakers share their experience with current clients.
Victory has specialized tracks for Veterans and for working professionals — nurses, executives, and business owners — who benefit from discreet, focused programming. The center serves deaf and hard-of-hearing clients with American Sign Language support, and is positioned to treat dual diagnosis cases involving both substance use and mental health conditions. TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay are accepted.
The leadership team is led by CEO Kerri Cunningham (LCSW, LAC), Clinical Director Rachel Broussard (LCSW), and Medical Director Scott D. Mayers, MD. Continuing care, alumni services, weekly alumni groups, monthly events, and a dedicated recovery app extend support long after discharge. The center is accredited by The Joint Commission.
