Residential rehab in Metairie, Louisiana

3 list Medicaid on their records: Avenues Recovery Center at Metairie, Longbranch Recovery and Wellness and Alchemy Addiction Recovery. Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: if your card names a health plan, the program has to be in that plan's network.

3 accept private insurance, 1 Medicare and 3 TRICARE. The plans named most on their own websites: TRICARE (2), Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana (1) and Optum (1). A program that doesn't name your plan may still take it: call the number on your insurance card and ask whether the program is in network for residential treatment, whether you need prior authorization, and what you'll pay.

Cima Find Care doesn't list prices: what you pay depends on your insurance, the program and how long you need care. Of these 3 programs, 3 take cash or self-pay and 2 have a sliding-scale fee set by income. Before you start, ask the program to check your benefits and to put the daily or weekly price in writing.

Stays are set by how you're doing, not by a fixed calendar. FindTreatment.gov sorts residential programs into short-term (30 days or fewer) and long-term (more than 30 days). Insurance often approves a few days at a time and reviews your progress, so ask the program what's typical with your plan.

A photo ID and your insurance or Medicaid card; your medicines in their original bottles, with a list of doses; your doctors' names and numbers; comfortable clothes for about a week and toiletries without alcohol in them; and the number of someone who can help at home. Each program has its own list, and some limit phones, vapes and outside food, so ask admissions before you go.

In an emergency, call 911. In a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988, any time. SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357, is free, confidential and open all day, every day, and can refer you to treatment.
