About Longleaf Hospital – Alexandria
You can find Longleaf Hospital in the Louisiana city of Alexandria. This is a behavioral health facility that treats adults for mental health conditions and substance use disorder(SUD) on an inpatient basis.

You will be given a full assessment when you come in to determine a treatment plan. You will have group and individual therapy sessions and they also offer family sessions as needed.
The treatment program follows a 12-step model focusing on admitting that you are powerless against substances and encouraging you to accept a higher power and make amends.
