About Slidell Behavioral Health Clinic
Slidell Behavioral Health Clinic provides assessment and treatment services for folks experiencing substance use in Slidell, Louisiana. They’re part of the Florida Parishes Human Services Authority (FPHSA). FPHSA provides personalized addiction recovery services for residents of the five Florida Parishes north of Lake Pontchartrain. This includes Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington.
Slidell Behavioral Health Clinic supports folks from the east side of St. Tammany Parish. The city is near the intersection of three major interstates including I-10, I-12 and I-59. This makes it easy to access by folks from New Orleans, Baton Rouge or Gulfport. Carey Street where the facility sits is in a local neighborhood near Olde Towne Slidell. It’s easy to get to the rest of the city and its amenities from here.
This facility offers intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and general outpatient treatment for substance use disorder. Their program prioritizes intravenous drug users and pregnant women seeking addiction recovery services.
You can receive MAT as part of either program or as a standalone therapy. MAT combines FDA approved meds and behavioral therapy to treat opioid or alcohol addiction. The MAT program includes Suboxone, Suboclade and Vivitrol which ease withdrawal symptoms and help control cravings. This enables you to respond better to behavioral therapy and avoid relapse. FPHSA also hands out Narcan to help stop overdoses which can also be helpful for clients and their loved ones.
What stands out about Slidell is that they offer counseling to address problem gambling. The program is run by certified compulsive gambling counselors. When people struggle with substance use disorder it’s not uncommon to have other addictions present also. Being able to address that at the same time can help you get your life on track more quickly. The professionals at the Clinic can also help you stop using tobacco.
Additional outpatient services include peer support and case management services. Case management involves care coordination and links to community resources like safe housing and jobs.
