How to Choose Treatment in Monroe

If you’re looking for the best help for you in Monroe, you have options. You can find strong outpatient and residential programs, 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. 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 Monroe.

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 Monroe 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:

• New Day Recovery (West Monroe): 318-900-7133

• Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center: 318-728-2970

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 Monroe?

You usually don’t have to travel. Monroe and nearby communities offer medical detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), MAT, telehealth counseling, and sober living homes. Travel helps if you have specific preferences, such as amenities like luxury rehab, private rooms, or pet-friendly care. 

Paying for Addiction Treatment in Monroe

How much does rehab cost in Monroe?

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 Monroe?

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 Monroe?

Yes — you can find free or low-cost programs in Monroe. 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.

• NEDHSA – Monroe Behavioral Health Clinic: State-funded outpatient substance use disorder and mental health services for all ages, with sliding-scale available.

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

• State-funded services: The Louisiana Office of Behavioral Health contracts with providers to offer free or low-cost rehab for eligible residents — ask any program about funded beds or sliding-fee options.

• Community and faith-based organizations: Examples include Oxford Houses and Adult & Teen Challenge campuses in North Louisiana, offering long-term, low-cost, faith-based treatment services.

• 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.

Best Rehabs in Monroe

What does “best” mean?

“Best” means best-for-you — care that matches your level of need, works with your insurance and budget, and fits your life (location, schedule, family). 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.

Facilities are included based on licensing, accreditations (when noted), years in operation, and endorsements from trusted local organizations. Always verify current availability and coverage. This is not a definitive ranking.

What are the best rehabs in Monroe?

Notable rehabs to consider are New Day Recovery (West Monroe) and Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center, both of which offer detox, inpatient and outpatient programs, evidence-based counseling, and MAT. Pecan Haven Addiction Recovery Center is a residential program with detox and IOP services that accepts Louisiana Medicaid. 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 low-cost rehabs in Monroe?

Good free or low-cost options include Rayville Recovery and LaArk Recovery. Both provide 24-hour residential care with detox, will accept or help you enroll in Medicaid, and maintain state partnerships for funded slots. Spots can be tight, so ask about eligibility, sliding-fee assistance, and immediate bridge options if beds are full.

What are the best rehabs for co-occurring disorders in Monroe?

Good rehabs for co-occurring disorders are New Day Recovery and Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center, which integrate mental health services across levels of addiction care, with psychiatric evaluation, trauma-informed groups, and medication management as needed. Both programs tailor plans for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other conditions alongside substance use treatment. Lower-cost programs like LaArk and Rayville Recovery also support co-occurring disorders but may have fewer specialty resources. Before you choose, make sure the program offers integrated mental health care and coordinates aftercare with local therapists or clinics.

Choosing the Right Rehab

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

Call Opioid Help LA (1-855-229-6848) or NEDHSA (318-362-3339). Ask to speak with an intake coordinator or certified peer support specialist and be ready to share your location, insurance status, and preferred level of care (e.g., detox, residential, IOP). 

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

Ask the facility to confirm its Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) license or look it up in the state’s Behavioral Health Service Provider listings. 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.
