Acadiana CARES Residential Halfway House

Acadiana CARES provides a full continuum of addiction treatment through residential treatment, outpatient programs, and intensive outpatient (IOP) services. This range of care levels allows individuals to progress through different stages of recovery while maintaining connection to the same treatment team and recovery community.

The residential treatment program offers intensive support for those beginning their recovery journey, while outpatient and IOP services provide ongoing care for individuals transitioning back to daily life. This stepped approach helps build sustainable recovery habits and maintains therapeutic relationships across different phases of treatment.

The recovery center addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions, recognizing that many people in recovery face multiple health challenges. Acadiana CARES treats trauma and PTSD alongside substance abuse, providing integrated care that addresses root causes of addiction.

Medical conditions including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C receive specialized attention, with primary care services and pharmacy access available on-site. This comprehensive health approach ensures that physical health needs don't become barriers to sustained recovery.

Beyond traditional addiction treatment, Acadiana CARES offers housing assistance, recognizing that stable sober living arrangements are crucial for long-term recovery success. Transportation assistance removes practical barriers that might prevent people from accessing ongoing care and community support.

The center provides medication assistance, financial assistance, and food bank services, addressing social determinants of health that impact recovery outcomes. These wraparound services create a foundation for stability while individuals focus on building their recovery community connections.

Acadiana CARES serves men, women, and LGBTQ individuals, creating an inclusive environment where all people can find peer support and community connection. The center's experience with diverse populations, including HIV/AIDS support, brings cultural competency to the recovery process.

Payment options including Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, and sliding scale fees make recovery accessible regardless of financial circumstances. The CARF accreditation demonstrates commitment to quality standards that support long-term recovery outcomes and community trust.
