What a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in Louisiana Means to Your Struggling Loved One

By on May 6, 2025 in Addiction Treatment, Blog

Located in the heart of Acadiana, Victory Addiction Recovery Center is one of the most affordable, accessible drug and alcohol treatment programs in Louisiana. We want to help you and your loved one get treatment.

The reality is that drug and alcohol addiction take the lives of thousands of people every year. Our state is no different. In fact, Louisiana ranked second highest in the country in those who drink excessively, representing 1.02 million people in 2021. Additionally, it ranked fourth in the number of people who engage in illicit drug use, at 15.1%.

You want to protect your loved one. We offer the tools and resources to make it possible within our drug and alcohol treatment center.

What Happens When Your Loved One Suffers From Addiction

For many family members, recognizing the signs of addiction is not simple. It is often a very fine line, initially, to learn what a person is engaging in a “fun” recreational experience and when they are in trouble for dependency. If you see any of the following signs of addiction and dependency in your loved one, we recommend contacting us:

  • Withdrawal from activities and people they once enjoyed
  • Focus on using that substance on a nearly constant basis
  • Need for constant financial support or running into trouble with the law frequently
  • Finding it difficult to focus on work, school, or other commitments
  • Hiding their substance use or how much they are using

If your loved one has tried to stop using substances and has not been able to do so, or they are continuously battling health complications, it may be time to request help through our medical detox program. Detox takes a few days to weeks to navigate. During this time, your family member will have a medical team available to help if there are any complications or concerns. They are safe with us, and we can help them ease away from substances in an environment where we can provide emergency care if necessary.

Residential Treatment for Your Loved One

Our inpatient residential treatment program can be an excellent resource for family members battling addiction. It can be scary to think that your family member may be in a treatment center for 30 days. However, our home-like environment is a welcome place where they can focus solely on their own well-being. You will not be out of reach of them, as we have family days, and they can reach out to you at various times of inactivity.

In treatment, your loved one will work on themselves through a wide range of treatment programs and therapies, all of which are science-based, highly effective, and proven to be beneficial to addiction recovery. Some of those services include:

  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Experiential therapy
  • Holistic care

This is an environment where individuals can learn, grow, and enhance their overall quality of life. Most importantly, they are safe throughout the process and are gaining the incredible resources necessary to support long-term healing.

Outpatient Services at Victory

Not everyone needs or can utilize our inpatient treatment program, and that is where our range of outpatient services is effective. Outpatient care is also the next step for those who have undergone residential care, as it allows our team to provide the support you need as you navigate your real-world struggles and challenges. Our outpatient treatment services include:

  • Intensive outpatient program: You’ll spend about 15 hours a week in treatment and be able to go home each day to your family. This program provides you with the resources you need to navigate long-term recovery.
  • Continuing care: Our clients also spend time working on building their futures with us over the long term. In our continuing care program, you will work to recover, rebuild, and redefine your future, knowing that help is by your side throughout this process. We are here when times become challenging.

Support Designed for Your Loved One’s Needs

Many people face unique needs and challenges that lead them to or worsen their substance use disorder. We offer specialized programs to address these needs, such as:
