About Woodlake Addiction Recovery Center
Woodlake Addiction Recovery Center sits on North Lafitte Road in Abbeville, Louisiana, in rural Vermilion Parish about a half-hour drive south of Lafayette. The CARF-accredited facility offers a full continuum of care from medically supervised detoxification through residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient and a distinctive Aftercare for Life program that frames continuing care as a lifelong relationship rather than a discrete discharge step.
Clinically, Woodlake treats drug and alcohol addiction and co-occurring disorders, with cognitive behavioral therapy at the foundation of evidence-based programming. The team builds individualized treatment plans, embeds 12-step recovery principles, integrates family counseling and operates an on-site Integrated Wellness Clinic that addresses the medical and psychiatric needs accompanying chemical dependency. The center frames recovery in spiritual terms while remaining grounded in clinical practice, attracting clients who want both rigor and a faith-friendly culture.
Woodlake explicitly serves a wide population set: veterans, pregnant women, young adults aged 18-25, seniors, men, women, HIV/AIDS-positive clients, court-ordered referrals and Deaf or hard-of-hearing patients with American Sign Language access documented in federal records. The facility also runs a dedicated Professional Recovery Group, family counseling programming and sober living connections through St. Luke’s Healthcare for clients who need structured living after residential treatment.
Reviews repeatedly cite staff members by first name. Counselor and recovery mentor Kevin James, teacher Cory and counselor Cayln are surfaced by clients as central to their experience, alongside a broader counseling and nursing team. Funding includes Medicaid, TRICARE for veterans and qualifying dependents, commercial private insurance and self-pay; the admissions team can be reached at the Abbeville phone line or via admissions@woodlakecenter.com.
