About West Jefferson Behavioral Medicine Center – Marrero
West Jefferson Behavioral Medicine Center has merged with Oceans Behavioral Hospital and offers several services that address the mental health and addiction needs of the community in Marrero, Louisiana. This is a suburban community on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, just outside New Orleans. The center offers residential and outpatient treatment including treatment for dual diagnosis disorders. They accept most health insurance providers in the area and will help verify your coverage before beginning treatment.
Their addiction treatment services acknowledge that your program cannot be one size fits all. They create a personalized program to meet your needs based on a comprehensive assessment and evaluation. Their medical staff focus on therapies that address both substance use disorders and any associated mental health conditions you may be experiencing like depression or anxiety.
When two conditions occur simultaneously, this is called a co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis treatment requires specialized, integrated care to ensure a greater rate of success.
Their treatment is available in an outpatient format that allows you to return home in the evening. This provides flexibility for you to continue some of your responsibilities at work or school.
They also provide residential care where you have the opportunity to step away from life stressors that trigger addiction and spend time exclusively on recovery in a comfortable home-like setting. Additionally, you can expect medical monitoring during drug detoxification.
They have two levels of outpatient programs, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) that provides four to five hours of therapy and treatment each day and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that offers more support than traditional outpatient therapy but less than inpatient care. Your program typically includes up to three hours of treatment for up to four days per week.
Your care is administered by a team of board certified psychiatrists and clinicians who work together to ensure you get the best treatment possible. They recognize that substance use disorders are not a moral failing or a choice but instead have been triggered by a mental health condition or an environmental condition. They use various treatment modalities to address the whole person and do not treat you as a constellation of symptoms.
