Outpatient rehab in Shreveport, Louisiana

16 list Medicaid on their records: Active Recovery, New Day Recovery, Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic, Uprising Addiction Center, BHG Shreveport Treatment Center and 11 more. 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.

13 accept private insurance, 8 Medicare and 8 TRICARE. The plans named most on their own websites: Aetna (5), Cigna (4), Humana (4) and UnitedHealthcare (4). 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 outpatient 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 17 programs, 15 take cash or self-pay, 5 have a sliding-scale fee set by income, 6 list state or federal funding for substance use treatment, which can pay for people without insurance and 1 says it takes no payment at all. Before you start, ask the program to check your benefits and to put the daily or weekly price in writing.

As long as it helps: often weekly for a few months, then less often. You and your counselor set the plan and look at it again as you go.

A photo ID, your insurance or Medicaid card, a list of your medicines and doses, and your doctors' names and numbers. The first visit is mostly an assessment and paperwork, so it can take longer than a regular session.

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.
