About Our Lady of the Angels Behavioral Health Unit – Bogalusa
Our Lady of the Angels Hospital is a full service hospital in Bogalusa, Louisiana offering comprehensive medical health services. Among those services are adolescent and adult substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs. Additionally, they treat co-occurring mental health disorders. The hospital accepts most major insurance plans.
The hospital is only three minutes from beautiful Cassidy Park. It’s a serene setting for the adolescent SUD inpatient treatment unit. Treatment here addresses not only substance use but simultaneously identifies and treats mental health disorders so teens can get to the root of their substance use.
The teens are cared for and stabilized in a nurturing and secure environment. The treatment team consists of nurses, social workers, and board certified child and adolescent psychiatrists. There are also pastoral counselors, activity therapists, and other professionals.
One of the things I noticed about the treatment programs here, both adult and adolescent, is the focus on listening. The caregivers want to know each client’s story. They understand that improved emotional health leads to better physical health because the two are directly linked.
