About Northeast Delta Human Services Authority Ruston Behavioral Health Clinic
If you or a loved one is struggling with the impact of substance use disorder, the Ruston Behavioral Health Clinic can help you find the treatment services that best meet your needs. It’s located in a quiet corner of Ruston, Louisiana. Local landmarks include Ruston Sports Complex and Greenwood Park, which might be good fits to unwind between counseling sessions. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted.
A multidisciplinary team of addiction counselors, physicians, family therapists, case managers, and social workers work with clients to create a treatment plan that addresses the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction. Referrals are provided to mental health counseling, psychiatric services, and medication management programs if required.
The Ruston Behavioral Health Clinic offers several levels of outpatient care that vary in their level of intensity. The more intensive the level of treatment, the more support and structure a client receives, to help them adhere to their care program until they can take more accountability in their recovery. No matter which track you take, your program takes place in their comfortable surroundings. It’s a clinical office, but the color scheme is neutral with natural accents to help you relax.
In outpatient addiction treatment, clients receive individual and group counseling to address the root causes of their substance use and work on developing healthy coping strategies. They also partner with a gambling addiction service provider to help clients who are struggling with compulsive gambling behaviors.
Extensive peer support services are also available at Ruton Behavioral Health Clinic. These include the Child Adolescent Response Team, the Women’s Gender-Specific Intensive Outpatient Treatment program, the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program, and the Women’s Gender Specific Continuing Care Program.
In counseling, evidence-based therapeutic approaches ensure clients get the most out of their treatment. These include cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing which help clients change their harmful behaviors and attitudes surrounding drug use and reinforce their motivations for change.
Living in Balance is another approach used, which is a practical substance use treatment curriculum that helps clients address lifestyle issues that may have been neglected due to their addiction.
