How to Choose Treatment in Mandeville

If you’re looking for the best help for you in Mandeville, you have options. You can find strong outpatient care, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), and 24/7 crisis support. Same-day detox or residential admission is possible, but spots can be limited — especially for pregnant or postpartum people and teens — so it helps to call ahead. If you’re on Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid), you’ll likely work with the Florida Parishes Human Services Authority (FPHSA), the regional authority helping Northshore residents connect to care. Most private insurance plans are accepted, and if you don’t have insurance, there are free or very low-cost programs available. If you want culturally specific, specialized, or luxury residential programs, you may need to look outside of Mandeville.

How do I choose the right level of care?

Start with an independent assessment from a clinician who specializes in substance use problems and isn’t employed by a treatment center. They can help you choose between treatment options like outpatient, inpatient, withdrawal management (detox), and medications used alongside therapy. Learn more about choosing the right rehab for your needs, and use the filters in this directory to find the closest facility by level of care. 

When you call a program, ask how they decide your length of stay, how they involve you in your treatment plan, and whether they can adjust care based on your progress instead of a fixed timeline.

Can I start withdrawal management (detox) in Mandeville today?

Yes — help can start today. Call a 24/7 clinic to begin medication for withdrawal and stabilization, request an urgent outpatient evaluation, or access inpatient treatment. Call first to confirm space:

• Avenues Recovery Center (Covington): 985-465-5555

If you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

If you’re being treated for opioid or alcohol use, ask whether they offer or support MAT, whether you can start quickly, and how they’ll help you continue MAT after you leave detox or residential care. If they’re full, ask for bridge care (telehealth, interim medications, groups) so you can start right away.

Do I need to travel for rehab, or is care available in Mandeville?

You usually don’t have to travel. Mandeville and surrounding St. Tammany Parish offer detox, inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), MAT, telehealth counseling, and sober living. Travel helps if you have specific preferences, such as amenities like luxury rehab, private rooms, or pet-friendly care.

Paying for Addiction Treatment in Mandeville

How much does rehab cost in Mandeville?

Rehab prices can look overwhelming, but most people pay far less once insurance or financial aid is applied. Before you start treatment, ask for a written estimate, whether the program is in-network for your plan (and if prior authorization is required), and ask about sliding-scale fees or financial help. Learn more about the cost of rehab. 

What private insurers provide in-network coverage in Mandeville?

Many major plans include in-network options — commonly Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and others. Always confirm network status, prior authorization, and copays with your plan and the facility.

Are there free rehab programs in Mandeville?

Yes — you can find free or low-cost programs in Mandeville. If you don’t have insurance or resources, you can still get care through government-funded providers and nonprofit organizations. Start by dialing 2-1-1 for referrals, or use the Free, Sliding Scale Fee, and Payment Assistance filter options on this directory to find no-cost and low-cost options. If you do have insurance, your plan may cover some or even the full cost of treatment — you’ll need to call the facility to confirm.

• Florida Parishes Human Services Authority (FPHSA): Regional authority for the Northshore, offering sliding-fee care for uninsured or under-insured residents.

• 2-1-1 Louisiana: Dial 2-1-1 for referrals to low- or no-cost treatment, transportation, shelters, and other supports.

• Parish or community programs: The Safe Haven campus coordinates behavioral health care and may offer sliding-scale substance use counseling and referrals.

• Nonprofit and faith-based options: Examples like Bridge House / Grace House (New Orleans) and Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center (New Orleans) offer free or low-cost long-term programs.

• Emergency stabilization: If you’re in a crisis (such as life-threatening withdrawal or intoxication), call 911 or go to the nearest ER. Care will be provided regardless of ability to pay (you may receive a bill later for hospital or ambulance services; financial-assistance programs are available through many local hospitals).

Keep in mind there are many free non-clinical peer support and counseling resources available as well.

What does “best” mean?

Start by listing what you need and what your plan covers, then choose an option you can start now and stick with. The programs below are examples of options that may be a good fit depending on your needs — explore them to see which might be right for you.

What are the best rehabs in the Mandeville area?

Notable rehabs to consider are Avenues Recovery Center at Covington (offers hospital-based detox and residential treatment with 24/7 nursing, physician oversight, on-site MAT, and psychiatric support) and Longbranch Recovery & Wellness (Abita Springs) (provides medical detox, residential programs, outpatient, and aftercare). Before you choose, call to make sure there are current openings, the level of care offered, and in-network coverage for your insurance plan. Ask for a written estimate and bridge care if beds are full.

What are the best rehab programs for veterans in Mandeville?

Notable options for veterans include Longbranch Recovery & Wellness (Abita Springs) (offers veteran-specific programming with trauma-focused therapies, peer support, and staff experienced with service-related trauma) and Avenues Recovery Center at Covington (participates in the VA Community Care Network, allowing eligible veterans to use VA benefits). You can call to ask about trauma-informed care, coordination with VA benefits, and how they manage transitions between residential and outpatient care.

Good IOPs to look into are Longbranch Recovery & Wellness (Abita Springs) (structured IOP, relapse-prevention groups, and evening scheduling) and Truth 180° (runs IOP for adults and adolescents using group, individual, and family therapy). Before you choose, confirm if the program fits your schedule.

Choosing the Right Rehab

Who can help me choose the best rehab in Mandeville right now?

Start with 2-1-1 Louisiana for 24/7 referrals and contact Florida Parishes Human Services (FPHSA) during business hours for assessments and navigation. You can also ask to speak with a certified peer support specialist through FPHSA or local nonprofits. When you call, say: “I’m in Mandeville and need [detox/outpatient/residential]; I have [Medicaid/Medicare/Blue Cross/etc.]. Are there openings this week?”

How can I check if a Mandeville rehab is licensed (and accredited)?

Before you choose, ask the program if they are licensed by the Louisiana Department of Health – Office of Behavioral Health. Also ask whether they hold national accreditation (e.g., The Joint Commission or CARF). Accreditation isn’t required, but it’s a useful extra quality signal. Learn more about accreditation and other indicators of quality care.
