Premier Alcohol and Drug Rehab and Detox in Louisiana

If you really want to change your life and want to get clean and sober, this is the place! I went in very confused and very sick (still drunk). They kept a close eye on me, especially Miss Opal, to make sure I was going to be okay as I blew a .5 when I came in. Dr. J made sure I was medically safe and comfortable for my detox period and was very attentive to any negative side effects I had from medication.The staff is super friendly and helpful. They teach you how to communicate about your feelings and also how addiction works in the brain. They also do weekend outings to have some fun and blow off some steam. After completing the program I did have a relapse, but BECAUSE of this program and the tools they taught me I was able to dig my heels in the sand and start over. I now have almost 6 months sober, which I never thought was possible in my life! Thank you guys for literally saving my life

Avenues Recovery was an absolute life-changing experience for me! I went in a suicidal, hopeless, helpless shell of a man, praying for a ray of hope. I had absolutely no direction in life and needed nothing short of a miracle. The staff was SO friendly, caring, and genuinely encouraging. They show compassion with their actions and help the fainthearted find hope. It's amazing how much growth can happen in 28 days when awesome people instill loving humanity! I went in a wreck and left with hope, direction, and a full game plan which gives me confidence through attainable goals! I am now in long-term treatment with a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart! I want to thank Dr. J, George, Donna, Mickey,Cassie, Ashley, Rob, Derek, Steve, Anthony, Britt, Amanda, Mr. C, Leana, Latoya, Saudi, Beyonce, Samantha, Erica, Ariel, Flo, Keisha, and Latasha. This all star staff needs recognition and I pray God blesses their kind hearts a hundred times over. Please forgive me if I left out any staff members, because they are all saints. I strongly recommend Avenues to the addicted community!

Townsend stands as an amazing experience for me. I wasn't sure what to expect upon intake, but I quickly realized the friendly and welcoming nature of each staff member. Kenny demonstrated empathy with kindness, while Mickey was the first to greet me and speak to me like a human being – not just a patient. Ms. Donna could not be a better Program Director showing utmost professionalism and fairness at every step. Dr. J is caring and truly listens to her patients' needs! I recommend this facility to anyone looking to embark on the best path their lives can take after addiction. I could not show more gratitude to each tech, nurse, counselor, or medical team member all whom made my stay comfortable and, so far, a complete success in my sobriety journey! Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful place to go, if you are serious about removing all mind altering substances.. They support a 12 step recovery program that actually works if you work it! The food is pretty good and you are guaranteed to gain weight while there.. I stayed for 30 days and am so grateful for the opportunity to have came to the facility and be taught the tools to live a healthy sober life.. They literally give you everything you need to succeed as long as you are willing to listen to the counselors advice/recommendations. They accept Medicaid and private insurance; so no money is no longer an excuse to not get your life together... The techs are so supportive and will literally go to the ends of the earth to make sure you are taken care of.. Most of the employees and counsellors are recovering addicts so they don't judge you or look down on you and know exactly what it feels like to be in your shoes. The rooms are cleaned every day as is the rest of the facility. The community is supportive and every one hopes for success in one another. Would definitely recommend family and friends to go if given the opportunity.

When checking into avenues at Townsend I was reluctant of the hospital setting, however that reservation quickly dissolved when I was formally introduced to the super supportive staff and the accommodations. I've been to other facilities for treatment and none have compared to the level of comfort and care this facility has to offer. From the girls intact office to the techs, nurses, councilors, and even the hospitality staff exemplied above and beyond care and commitment to the treatment process. The clinical director Donna quickly became a confidant and support for me and offers that to all that seek it. I couldn't recommend this treatment center enough for yourself or your loved ones.

Avenues gave me a experience of a life time the staff were nice and attentive. The nurses are very caring. They taught me tools I'm going to use for the rest of my life.
