About Choices of Louisiana – Alexandria
Choices of Louisiana is an outpatient program for opioid use disorder located in Alexandria, Louisiana, on the south bank of the Red River. They are CARF accredited and LegitScript certified and accept Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances. They also have a self pay option. Many of their locations are a part of the VA Community Care Network.
They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone and buprenorphine in three phases. The induction phase is the initial dose, during which you’ll work with medical providers to find the right dose for you. The second phase is stabilization, when the cravings and withdrawal symptoms start to fade. This is when you can start to focus on living a healthier lifestyle. In the third or maintenance phase, you’re able to dose on your own at home, freeing you up from daily treatment center visits.
In addition they provide individual and group counseling, as well as case management to help you plan your treatment and connect to community resources. Medical checkups and assessments are available, and they work with local physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists to offer referrals and ensure your continuity of care. There’s also assistance with transportation and housing. Clients receive support for life after treatment.
