How to Choose Treatment in Shreveport

If you’re looking for the best help for you in Shreveport, you have options.You can find strong outpatient programs, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), inpatient programs, and 24/7 crisis support. Same-day detox or same-week residential admission is possible, but spots can be limited — especially for teens and mothers with young children — 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’re looking for highly specialized or luxury rehab amenities, you may need to look outside of Shreveport.

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 Shreveport 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:

• CADA Adult Treatment Center: 318-222-8511

• New Day Recovery – Shreveport: 318-562-6320

• Willis-Knighton Addiction Recovery Center: 318-212-5072

• Behavioral Health Group (BHG) – Shreveport Treatment Center: 318-425-3400

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 Shreveport?

You usually don’t have to travel. Shreveport and the surrounding Northwest Louisiana region (Caddo and Bossier parishes) offer withdrawal management, inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, MAT, telehealth services, and sober living housing. Travel helps if you have specific preferences, such as amenities like luxury rehab, private rooms, or pet-friendly care.

Some ministries offer transitional housing for women in recovery, and many local churches host support groups, recovery coaching, or sponsorships to help people get into treatment.

Good programs to consider include the Council on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse of Northwest Louisiana (CADA) (long-standing nonprofit offering CARF-accredited residential and outpatient programs, with specialized tracks for pregnant women and mothers with children), Active Recovery (provides intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and offers women’s residential care, holistic options, and a non-12-step model), Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – Louisiana Behavioral Health (hospital-based program focused on medically supervised detox and inpatient behavioral health treatment for adults, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions), and Willis-Knighton Addiction Recovery Center (offers hospital-affiliated detox, inpatient stabilization, and outpatient aftercare).

Men can choose between a dedicated men’s residential program and several co-ed rehabs that serve men and women. Eagle Creek Recovery Center is a men-only residential program where clients live in a structured, Christian community that blends faith-based counseling, group therapy, work responsibilities, and mentorship to support long-term recovery. For men who prefer a more clinical or secular setting, CADA and Active Recovery offer co-ed programs with male peers and licensed counselors. What matters most is choosing a program where you feel safe, can connect with staff and peers, and services that match your current needs.

What are the best rehabs for women in Shreveport?

Strong options for women include Active Recovery’s “Retreat for Women” (a residential program on a lakefront property designed exclusively for women, offering licensed counseling, 24/7 nursing, trauma-focused therapy, life-skills classes, and holistic activities like gardening and recreational outings), and CADA’s women’s services (include dedicated slots for pregnant and postpartum women and mothers with young children, often with parenting support, coordination of prenatal or OB care, and the possibility of having children stay with or nearby their mothers during treatment).

For military veterans, Overton Brook VAMC Substance Use Disorder Services is usually the best starting point for addiction treatment. Services can include outpatient counseling, MAT for opioid or alcohol use, and inpatient detox or rehab depending on eligibility and clinical need, with care coordinated through the VA’s mental health system. VA-operated and community programs are available, and access may depend on VA eligibility or Community Care authorization. You can call to ask about trauma-informed care, coordination with VA benefits, and how they manage transitions between residential and outpatient care. 

What are the best Christian or faith-based rehabs in Shreveport?

Consider Eagle Creek Recovery Center, the primary faith-based program in the Shreveport area. Eagle Creek’s men’s residential program emphasizes Christian discipleship, daily devotional practices, worship, and Bible-based teaching alongside counseling, work therapy, and peer support, and is closely connected to Shreveport Community Church. If you prefer a more generalized or multi-faith spiritual approach, look into CADA or Active Recovery, which are not religious programs but can incorporate spirituality if requested (for example, spiritual groups at Active Recovery or church partnerships through CADA). Call to confirm faith-based services and how spirituality is integrated into treatment.

What are the best low-cost or free rehabs in Shreveport?

Good low-cost options to look into include Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic (offers assessment, outpatient addiction treatment, and crisis response for uninsured and low-income residents on a sliding fee scale, often at very low or no cost, and can connect people to detox or residential programs funded by federal block grants), and CADA (accepts Medicaid and uses state and federal funds to cover treatment for people who qualify. Faith-based and community programs, including Eagle Creek Recovery Center and Louisiana Adult & Teen Challenge, may offer long-term, low-cost residential recovery supported by donations and scholarships. Low- or no-cost options can vary based on eligibility and funding. Ask whether you qualify for sliding-fee or other financial help, whether they can provide a referral, and if they are full, whether you can join a waitlist and start bridge care immediately.

What are the best rehabs for co-occurring mental health disorders in Shreveport?

For people with both substance use and mental health conditions (such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder), consider Ochsner LSU Health’s Louisiana Behavioral Health (specifically designed to treat complex behavioral health cases and provides integrated care from psychiatrists, psychologists, and addiction specialists in one setting), and Willis-Knighton’s Addiction Recovery Center (manages co-occurring disorders and provides or offers referrals to ongoing therapy and medication management). If you call, ask if the program treats both conditions at the same time, and if they offer access to psychiatric care along with addiction counseling.

What are the best detox centers in Shreveport?

Good options to consider include Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – Louisiana Behavioral Health and Willis-Knighton’s Addiction Recovery Center. What matters most is choosing a program that can manage your specific withdrawal risks safely and immediately connect you to ongoing rehab after the initial stabilization.

Choosing the Right Rehab
