Louisiana rehab at a glance

There are 167 licensed drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Louisiana in our directory, across 65 cities. 48 offer residential (inpatient) rehab, 54 offer detox and 140 provide medication-assisted treatment, based on SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov data updated October 2026.

Paying for rehab in Louisiana

Most people pay for rehab with health insurance. 129 facilities in Louisiana accept private insurance and 143 accept Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid)). Under the Affordable Care Act and federal parity law, most plans must cover addiction treatment much like other medical care, though deductibles, prior authorization and network rules apply.

Without insurance, 59 programs report state or SAMHSA block-grant funding for people who qualify, and 54 offer sliding-scale fees based on income. What you pay depends mostly on the level of care: outpatient programs cost far less than residential rehab or medically managed detox.

Finding addiction treatment in Louisiana

Treatment options in Louisiana range from outpatient counseling a few hours a week to medically supervised detox and 24-hour residential programs. Of the 167 facilities listed here, 54 offer detox, 48 provide residential (inpatient) treatment, 140 offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and 6 are federally certified opioid treatment programs that dispense methadone.

The right level of care depends on how severe the substance use is, whether withdrawal could be dangerous, other health conditions and the support you have at home. A clinical assessment, often free over the phone, is the usual first step.

Paying for rehab in Louisiana

143 facilities in Louisiana report accepting Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid)) and 129 accept private health insurance. Under the Affordable Care Act and federal parity law, most health plans must cover substance use disorder treatment on terms comparable to other medical care, though prior authorization and network rules apply.

If you have no insurance, 59 programs in Louisiana report government or SAMHSA block-grant funding, which can pay for treatment for people who qualify. Many others offer sliding-scale fees based on income.

Public addiction services in Louisiana

The Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health oversees publicly funded substance use treatment in Louisiana. Visit the agency.

Louisiana has expanded Medicaid, so adults with incomes up to about 138% of the federal poverty level can qualify for Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid), which covers addiction treatment.

Involuntary addiction treatment in Louisiana

In Louisiana, the law allows a court to order involuntary treatment for a substance use disorder in limited circumstances, usually when the person is a danger to themselves or others or cannot care for themselves. An order can last inpatient treatment for up to 45 days for alcohol use or up to 180 days for other drug use. Laws and procedures change, so contact the local court clerk or an attorney before filing.

Crisis and free help

If you or someone else is in danger, call 911. For a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357, is free, confidential and open 24/7 for treatment referrals.

Frequently asked questions

How many rehab centers are in Louisiana?

Our directory lists 167 licensed substance use treatment facilities in Louisiana, based on SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov data.

Does Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid) cover addiction treatment?

Yes. Medicaid programs cover substance use disorder treatment, and 143 facilities in Louisiana report accepting Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid). Covered services and provider networks vary by plan, so confirm with the program before admission.

Is there free rehab in Louisiana?

59 programs in Louisiana report state or federal (SAMHSA block grant) funding, which can cover treatment for people without insurance who qualify. Call (833) 589-6933 or SAMHSA's helpline at 1-800-662-4357 for help finding a low-cost option.

Can you force someone into rehab in Louisiana?

In Louisiana, the law allows a court to order involuntary treatment for a substance use disorder in limited circumstances, usually when the person is a danger to themselves or others or cannot care for themselves. An order can last inpatient treatment for up to 45 days for alcohol use or up to 180 days for other drug use.

How many drug and alcohol rehab centers are in Louisiana?

Our directory lists 167 licensed substance use treatment facilities in Louisiana, based on SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov data (updated October 2026). Listings include outpatient, residential, detox and medication-assisted treatment programs.

Are there detox centers in Louisiana?

Yes. 54 programs in Louisiana offer detoxification (medically supervised withdrawal) services. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous, so medical supervision is strongly recommended.

Which rehabs in Louisiana accept Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid)?

143 facilities in Louisiana report accepting Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid)). Coverage depends on your plan and the program's network, so confirm before admission.

Do rehabs in Louisiana take private insurance?

129 facilities in Louisiana accept private health insurance. Benefits vary by plan (deductibles, prior authorization, in- vs. out-of-network). Call (833) 589-6933 for a free insurance check.

Is there inpatient rehab in Louisiana?

48 facilities in Louisiana offer residential (inpatient) treatment, where you live on site 24/7 while in care. Learn more about inpatient rehab.

Can I get medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in Louisiana?

Yes. 140 programs in Louisiana use FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. See our guide to MAT.

How long is an average stay in rehab?

Residential programs commonly run 28 to 30 days, with longer stays of 60 to 90 days for more severe addiction, and detox alone usually takes 3 to 10 days. The National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that most people need at least three months of treatment, across all levels of care, to significantly reduce or stop drug use, and that longer treatment is linked to better outcomes. 48 facilities in Louisiana offer residential care.

Who pays for rehab in Louisiana?

Most people use private health insurance, Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana (Medicaid)), Medicare or TRICARE, which are required to cover substance use treatment. People without insurance may qualify for state- or SAMHSA-funded programs (59 in Louisiana report this funding) or sliding-scale fees. Call (833) 589-6933 for a free benefits check.

How much does rehab cost in Louisiana?

Cost depends mainly on the level of care and your coverage. Outpatient counseling is the least expensive; intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization cost more; residential rehab and medically managed detox cost the most because they include 24-hour care. With insurance, your share is set by your deductible, copays and out-of-pocket maximum, so verify benefits with the program before admission.

Can I go to rehab in a different state?

Yes. Many people travel for treatment, for example to put distance between themselves and triggers or to reach a specialized program. Check whether your plan covers out-of-state or out-of-network care first: Medicaid generally covers only in-state providers, while many private plans have national networks.
