About Vermilion Behavioral Health Systems

If you’re looking for a substance use and mental health disorder treatment facility in Lafayette, Louisiana, you can try Vermillion Behavioral Health Systems. They treat kids, teens, adults, and seniors separately through various inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) programs.

You’ll do assessments and evaluations on arrival. These may include psychological testing, psychiatric, physical health and medical lab evaluations. Based on your results, they’ll recommend live in or part time treatment.

They’ll supervise you through medical detox to make sure you are safe and comfortable. Therapy is based on the 12 Step model. They treat addictions to alcohol, opiates, prescription drugs and synthetic marijuana. They can also help you if you’re addicted to cocaine or meth.

With individual counseling, group and family therapy sessions, you’ll cover topics such as how to develop and use coping skills. They’ll teach you about mental illness and addiction. You’ll get tools and strategies for avoiding relapse and to learn how to cope with healthy alternatives..

What stood out to me is how they split groups into separate tracks for more specific treatment. If your primary issue is substance use, you’ll be placed on the chemical dependency track. Those who come in for mental health only will be treated in a separate group. If you’re experiencing mental health challenges along with addictive behavior, you’ll be in a group with others who have a dual diagnosis.

Before leaving, they’ll make sure you have a plan for aftercare. They’ll draw up your continuing recovery blueprint by observing you closely. This will be adapted as your needs change.

Amenities

WiFi

Some rehab programs offer free Wi-Fi to guests who have full access to their smartphone devices or laptop computers during treatment. While access to these devices may be allowed, the time spent using them is often regulated or restricted so clients can focus on treatment.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

When individuals participate in a young adult program in Louisiana, they typically receive a variety of age-appropriate therapies. Common treatment methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-step groups.

Adult Program

Addiction treatment options in the Bayou State include a rehab adult program in Louisiana. Designed to serve Louisiana men and women over the age of 18, these programs employ a variety of treatment methods to help individuals achieve sobriety.

Alcoholism

Alcohol rehab in Louisiana is the process of recovering from dinking problems through a combination of treatment methods. Most programs incorporate 12-step methods, individual and group counseling, and therapeutic activities.

Men's Rehab

Treatment professionals at men’s rehab in Louisiana understand unique challenges men face while battling addiction. That’s why programs are available that target treatment for men at every level of care.

Women's Rehab

Women enrolled in gender-specific addiction programs have better outcomes than those in mixed-gender programs. That’s why women’s rehab in Louisiana provides treatment specifically for women, to meet their unique needs.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

With high success rates, cognitive behavioral therapy in Louisiana is often incorporated into addiction treatment. These techniques are used in support groups and individual therapy, to help individuals change their thought patterns and encourage ongoing sobriety.

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.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Unhealthy thoughts and beliefs often prevent a person from achieving goals and enjoying a healthier life. Rational emotive behavioral therapy in Louisiana helps identify and replace these thoughts and beliefs, to reduce self-sabotaging behavior such as substance abuse.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

Levels of Care

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.

Inpatient Rehab

Residential or inpatient rehab in Louisiana is the most intensive level of care. It involves living at the rehab facility and receiving 24/7 supervised care. Treatment interventions usually include individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

When you choose a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you participate in scheduled onsite treatment sessions during the day and return home at night. PHPs are often a bridge between inpatient and outpatient drug rehab in Louisiana.

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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a mental health disorder, addiction treatment must look different than standard rehab. The program must address both your mental health and substance abuse disorders. Louisiana dual diagnosis treatment is designed to do just that.
