Active Recovery - Bossier City

Values-Based Recovery in a Community Setting

Active Recovery – Bossier City delivers a structured outpatient program built around its Ten Core Concepts, which include empathy, responsibility, gratitude, and integrity. This non-12-step approach guides clients through up to three phases of treatment, offering a consistent framework for self-reflection and behavioral change. To reduce barriers to treatment, the facility offers transportation assistance, referrals to social services, and peer mentoring. Located near public transit routes and major roadways, the clinic is accessible to clients across Bossier Parish and surrounding areas.

Flexible, Evidence-Based Treatment Model

Programming includes individual counseling, group therapy, and educational sessions, all grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. Clients can choose from morning, afternoon, or evening groups, making it easier to maintain work or family obligations. Specialized tracks are available for anger management, DUI/DWI, and sober parenting, many of which meet court requirements and are delivered in gender-specific formats for increased safety and relevance.

Medication and Recovery Coordination

Clients who would benefit from medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can receive oral or injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol) through the program. While the facility does not prescribe buprenorphine onsite, clients currently taking Subutex or Suboxone can continue care with external coordination. Referrals for detox are available when needed.

Specialized Services for Justice-Involved and Trauma-Affected Clients

Active Recovery – Bossier City offers targeted services for people involved in the legal system, including court-approved batterers intervention programs and support for those affected by intimate partner violence. Programs are trauma-informed and designed to foster accountability without shame, with separate group formats for men and women. These offerings may be especially valuable for individuals navigating legal obligations while also seeking personal and emotional healing.
