About NOLA Detox and Recovery Center
NOLA Detox and Recovery Center offers detox, residential, and outpatient care for substance use disorders (SUD) with evidence-based treatment, southern hospitality, and New Orleans flair. Everyone’s path to recovery is different, and NOLA is equipped to help patients find and commit to theirs. Every treatment plan is personalized to support long-term recovery and reduce relapse risk by addressing both physical dependence and the emotional drivers behind substance misuse.
Make Progress in 4 Phases
Inpatient treatment begins with stabilization, safely managing withdrawal symptoms with around-the-clock nursing care. As patients start to feel better, they move into the preparation phase to learn about the biology of addiction and begin building the tools needed for long-term recovery. The action phase focuses on applying those tools in daily life and supporting others in earlier phases. The final phase, vision, includes a community graduation ceremony and a personalized plan to support the transition forward.
Breathe in Relief on an 8-Acre Campus
NOLA Detox combines a tranquil setting with the comforts of a nice hotel. Shared rooms have queen beds, cable TV, WiFi, and a private bathroom. Community phones are available to keep up with family, friends, and work as needed. Patients enjoy 3 delicious meals daily, and warm chocolate chip cookies with milk every night. Activities include a weekly campfire, live music, volleyball, yoga, arts and crafts, gaming devices, and tabletop games.
Leave with a Hopeful Outlook and Plan

Technology helps with the transition, including care coordination apps, wearable devices, and digital therapeutics.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone
Naltrexone
Buprenorphine
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
