About East Jefferson General Hospital – Metairie
The East Jefferson General Hospital has been providing care for over 50 years in Metairie, Louisiana. This location offers social worker services that can connect you with substance use disorder treatment (which this network provides at other locations). They help families and individuals of all ages. This location accepts many insurance providers including Medicare and Medicaid.
Social workers do more than just provide referrals to care. At this location they can provide counseling as well, helping to address needs in the short term while you wait to join a treatment plan. They serve an important role by preventing a gap in care.
Social workers can also help you plan and coordinate your care (including aftercare). They also provide assessments that can help you zero in on just what type of care will serve you best.
Another way these social services can help is by introducing you to relevant support groups. Such groups are an excellent addition to a treatment plan because they help fill social needs, add structure to your day and give you the insight of others who are also in treatment. Their help can be a useful tool in between sessions or an ongoing part of aftercare.
