About FPHSA Slidell Behavioral Health Clinic

Established in 2003, the Florida Parishes Human Services Authority (FPHSA) works to improve well-being and quality of life for residents across the Florida Parishes region of Louisiana. Located in Slidell, they empower individuals to lead meaningful and productive lives by delivering evidence based substance use recovery and mental health support tailored for long term success.

They can even help you navigate problematic gambling behaviors impacting your financial health with a focus on restoring balance and promoting responsible decision-making.

Affordable Addiction Treatment

FPHSA is legislatively funded, receiving both State General Funds and Federal Block Grant funds to support its operations. This simply means you can get quality care with little or no out of pocket cost which I think is instrumental in helping people of all economic backgrounds.

They operate five outpatient addiction treatment clinics across the Florida Parishes region, including one in Slidell that serves residents on the east side of St. Tammany Parish. This facility is located on Carey Street just over a mile northwest of Heritage Park and the Olde Towne Slidell Historic District.

Treating Opioid Addiction, Tobacco Use and Problem Gambling

Services span medication-assisted treatment (MAT) alongside standard outpatient and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Pregnant women and intravenous drug users benefit from priority support to ensure timely access to care when it’s needed most. Support is also available for individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions.

Broader services include tobacco cessation for those struggling to quit smoking and counseling for individuals facing gambling issues. Both services may be free.

I think it’s important to note that as part of their commitment to reducing opioid overdose deaths, FPHSA distributes Narcan (naloxone) across its facilities.

Integrated and Medication-Supported Opioid Use Recovery

FPHSA adopts an integrated approach to opioid use recovery involving MAT, outpatient therapy and case management. You’ll be prescribed Suboxone, Sublocade or Vivitrol as part of your personalized recovery plan following detailed screening and intake assessment. These medications ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, granting you the clarity needed to continue healing via therapeutic support.

You can access support through standard outpatient care or step into an IOP if you need more structured help to address the emotional issues fueling your opioid dependence. These programs include evening sessions that fit into your daily routine, enabling you to balance recovery with work, school and other daily responsibilities.

They even provide health needs assessments, care coordination and peer support to help you stay engaged and motivated throughout your recovery journey. A case manager will assist you in navigating personal needs from securing stable housing and employment to accessing medical care, education and transportation by connecting you with local community resources. This ensures you have the foundational support needed to focus fully on your recovery and long-term stability.

Opioid Treatment

During opioid rehab in Louisiana, you’ll participate in evidence-based protocols that use medications, recovery support, and follow-up care designed to address withdrawal issues and prevent relapse. You’ll form new healthy habits and learn how to abstain from opioid and avoid negative consequences of dependence.

Drug Rehab

While each drug rehab in Louisiana offers unique elements, recovery support often follows a similar pattern. Detox is followed by inpatient and/or outpatient care, then aftercare support is provided once the participant completes the initial program.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

A typical Louisiana outpatient rehab offers a less-intensive treatment option. It is a good fit for those who have a moderate addiction and need accountability and ongoing relapse prevention support. Treatment includes therapy and support groups, and may continue to weeks or months, based on the individual’s needs.

Detox & MAT

Detox in Louisiana rids your body of addictive substances. Over a period of about a week, you’ll receive 24/7 care to slowly and safely cleanse your body. This often includes receiving medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Professional support makes interventions more powerful and effective. Intervention specialists help family members plan and facilitate interventions, then follow-up with the necessary resources to develop a treatment plan and transition to admittance to drug rehab in Louisiana.
