Ambulatory Detoxification Program in New Orleans Louisiana

Ambulatory Detoxification Program

Addiction Recovery Resources, Inc.’s Ambulatory Detoxification Program is designed to medically detoxify a patient who is actively engaged in his or her addiction, safely and discreetly, in an outpatient environment. The program includes:

A supervised detoxification process from an ASAM certified doctor
A safe and predictable withdrawal with reasonable comfort
Education about the disease process of addiction
Assessment by a counselor and a nurse with substance abuse expertise to determine the level of treatment that would be most beneficial for the patient after detox
A determination if there is psychiatric co-morbidity that would affect the course of treatment

The Ambulatory Detoxification Program provides a unique service to medically qualified patients that meet the protocol for this level of care. The program is an outpatient service delivered at our site by trained clinicians who provide a medically supervised evaluation and detoxification. The course of treatment is typically three to five days, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The detoxification process is designed to treat the patient’s level of clinical severity and to achieve a safe and comfortable withdrawal from mood-altering drugs (including alcohol) and to effectively facilitate the patient’s transition into ongoing treatment and recovery. Following detoxification, each patient is referred to an appropriate level of care, Residential Treatment Program or Intensive Outpatient Program, depending on specific needs.

The treatment team at Addiction Recovery Resources, Inc. firmly believes that addiction is a chronic and progressive illness that requires treatment. Detoxification and/or maintenance therapy with medications is a perquisite for treatment, not treatment for addiction. To receive Buprenorphine, all patients would be required to be in a treatment program at Addiction Recovery Resources, Inc.

Testimonials

I am an educated professional who developed an opiate addiction after an injury. With my inability to control my addiction, I had fallen into a state of despair, guilt and moral bankruptcy. Through my 5 week residential stay I was able to interact with a group of wonderful staff who are committed to the recovery of others. I can honestly say I feel that I have received a great start for my future and it has taught me how to live life with a new and more positive outlook.
