Responsibility House stands as a comprehensive addiction treatment center in Gretna, Louisiana, serving the Greater New Orleans community since 1994. Founded by Mike Martyn, this CARF-accredited facility addresses the complex intersection of substance abuse, chronic homelessness, and mental illness through its residential and outpatient programs located on Stumpf Boulevard.
The recovery center offers three distinct levels of care designed for sustained recovery: residential treatment for immersive rehabilitation, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for structured community-based support, and standard outpatient services. Each program operates within a 3-month framework, providing sufficient time for clients to establish strong recovery foundations while building connections within the local recovery community.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the cornerstone of treatment approaches at Responsibility House, targeting the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to addiction and co-occurring disorders. This therapeutic foundation supports clients in developing practical skills for long-term sobriety while addressing underlying mental health conditions that often accompany substance abuse.
Responsibility House serves a uniquely diverse population including seniors, individuals with HIV/AIDS, trauma survivors, deaf and hard of hearing clients, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and offers sliding scale payment options, making recovery accessible across economic circumstances. For families and individuals seeking a recovery center that understands the complexities of homelessness and dual diagnosis, Responsibility House provides specialized expertise within New Orleans' recovery community.
Residential Treatment and Outpatient Programs

Each program follows a 3-month treatment framework designed to provide adequate time for skill development and recovery stabilization. This timeframe allows clients to engage deeply with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while building lasting connections within their recovery community and developing sustainable sober living practices.
Specialized Populations and Co-occurring Disorders

Treatment Approach and Recovery Philosophy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy serves as the primary therapeutic foundation at Responsibility House, targeting the interconnected patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that perpetuate addiction and related challenges. This approach proves particularly effective for clients dealing with trauma, court-ordered requirements, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
The center's treatment philosophy recognizes that sustainable recovery requires addressing underlying factors such as homelessness, mental illness, and social isolation.
