About St. Christopher’s Addiction Wellness Center – Baton Rouge
St. Christopher’s Addiction Wellness Center is an addiction rehabilitation facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The center opened in 1998 with the vision of offering affordable addiction treatment. They have a residential treatment program for men along with outpatient treatment services available to men and women. They view substance use disorders as a sickness of the body, mind and spirit. The medical staff uses a combination of therapies and 12 Step treatment to help patients build a solid emotional and physical foundation for long term recovery. In addition to these services, St. Christopher’s Addiction Wellness Center also offers a family program and an aftercare program.
One thing I really like about this facility is its wellness center. It features a variety of equipment for patients to use for exercise. This can help reduce stress, which can help patients feel less desire to use substances. The wellness center also has a biosound therapy chair that helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms.
When men participate in the residential program, staff members will help them with practicing physical fitness and making healthy food choices. Clients can also expect to receive 24 hour nursing services and peer to peer support from trained sober coaches.
The intensive outpatient program is ideal for college students, adults and individuals who no longer need residential treatment. The services provided in the intensive outpatient program include individual counseling sessions, group processes, family therapy and 12 Step meetings.
In the family program, family members can attend educational groups that provide videos and lectures on topics related to addiction. Group family therapy sessions are conducted on a weekly basis to help improve the relationship between the client and their family.
