Woodlake Addiction Recovery Center (Abbeville)

Woodlake is a modern drug and alcohol recovery center in Abbeville, Louisiana. They provide several levels of care rooted in the 12 step model for men and women at various stages of addiction. This is a residential setting with home like amenities and a relaxed atmosphere.

Their program structure follows four phases that clients progress through as they complete the program. Woodlake provides a full continuum of care and treatment services during this program.

Clients with severe addiction symptoms may be required to enter detox before receiving treatment, but it may also be entered voluntarily. Clients in detox stay onsite and receive 24 hour care and observation from the medical staff to ensure they are safe and comfortable during what can prove to be a difficult and painful process. Clients may then transition from detox to another care program.

Inpatient care gives clients a safe and secure place to live on campus for the duration of their treatment. While under 24 hour monitoring from staff, a client’s needs are met so they can put their energy into their treatment program. Treatment revolves around individual and group therapy, 12 step programs, life skills training, and other educational opportunities.

The inpatient program includes specialized care for working professionals from high stress occupations. This group meets once a week.

PHP is a form of outpatient therapy where clients come to the facility on a regular schedule to receive highly structured care. Clients in this program continue to live at home but receive the same types of care they would in the inpatient program. PHP is sometimes used as a transitional step for those leaving inpatient care who are entering the intensive outpatient program (IOP) or returning to their daily lives.

IOP is designed for both people who are entering a recovery program for the first time, who have relapsed, or who have completed the inpatient program. Clients continue to live at home and live their everyday lives. Clients receive the same care as the inpatient program, emphasizing group therapy, education, and activities.
