Acadiana Recovery Center Treatment Programs

About Us
Referrals & Admission
The Treatment Programs department provides hope and healing
for individuals, families, and communities endeavoring to recover
from alcoholism and drug addiction as well as mental health
issues.
Referral for admission into the residential program is usually
obtained via another substance abuse clinic, hospital or other
health care provider. Admissions are normally taken Monday
thru Friday between the hours of 8 AM and 3 PM, Monday
through Friday and are taken from a waiting list maintained by
the admission clerk. In some cases admissions can be completed
outside of the regular hours.
Acadiana Recovery Center Treatment program is operated by the
Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office. It is a licensed and accredited
residential and outpatient treatment program. Our funding comes
through a state contract between the Acadiana Area Human
Services District and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office.
We offer integrated residential/inpatient alcohol and drug
dependency and mental health treatment to adult men and
women. We also provide a six month halfway house (REHAB),
outpatient alcohol and drug dependency treatment and aftercare.
We also provide outpatient children and adolescent alcohol and
drug dependency and mental health treatment through our
Milestones and Functional Family Therapy Programs.
The Center operates twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
We serve the Acadiana Area Human Services District which covers
Lafayette and seven surrounding parishes. Approximately 85-90
percent of all admissions into the residential unit are people from
within this eight parish area.
Accreditation and Licensing

accredited by CARF International, the

Program Cost and Fee Policies
Cost for the residential program is based on a sliding fee scale.
The scale is in proportion with income and the number of
dependents. No client will be denied services from this facility
due to his/ her inability to pay. We also bill patients through
Medicare, Medicaid or private pay. Cost for outpatient is an
initial enrollment fee of $50 and drug screening fees of $10 per
week. Aftercare is also offered to graduates.
Our admissions clerk should be contacted by the referring
agency. After a screening has been completed and the client is
determined to be appropriate and eligible, a date for admission is
scheduled. All candidates must be 18 years old or older and have
a primary diagnosis of alcohol and/or other drug addiction as set
forth in the DSM-5. For the referral of persons incarcerated in
LPCC contact the site supervisor at 337.236.5475

Providing Comprehensive Behavioral Health and Treatment Services that Best Fit the Needs of the Client
Correctional Center
Upon arriving to the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center all
offenders are screened during the booking process for signs of
mental illness or the need for behavioral health services. If an
offender is determined to be in need of services at that time or
during later screenings, trained master’s level clinicians conduct a
thorough behavioral health evaluation to determine the level of
intervention or need of medical referral. Offenders may request
behavioral health services at any time. Family members may also
request an assessment. A variety of treatment group options are
offered in LPCC they include:
Behavior, Emotions, and Thinking (B.E.T.) A 12-week program
designed to help offenders learn new skills to regulate behavior,
emotions, and thinking.
Grief and Loss counseling is designed to help offenders work
through personal losses such as death, divorce, loss of children,
abuse, or any other grief related issues.
Helping Offenders Parent Effectively (HOPE) program is conducted
in cooperation with The Family Tree. It is a 12-week parenting
program that includes bi-monthly contact visits with children ages
3-14. This program addresses parenting issues such as discipline,
behavior patterns, communication skills, age-appropriate
interaction, and how to spend quality time with children.
Residential
Outpatient
The Acadiana Recovery Center is a residential treatment program
for adult men and women who suffer from chemical dependence.
It is licensed under the Department of Health and Hospitals.
Customary referral procedure for admission is facilitated through
assessments done by outpatient clinics, hospitals, and detox
facilities. Approximately 85-90 percent of admissions are people
from within the city of Lafayette and outlying eight parish area.
Managed care requires that basic admission criteria be met:
candidates 18 years or older (males and females); have a primary
diagnosis of alcohol and/or drug addiction, as set in the DSM-5;
and meet a six dimension assessment appropriate to residential
(3.5) level of care treatment.
In this as in all programs Acadiana Recovery Center staff meets
and exceeds the highest standards of their respective professional
disciplines and offers sensitive, insightful and constructive
treatment for the chemically dependent client.
The Acadiana Recovery Center Outpatient Services Program is a
three month substance abuse program that meets four times a
week. The program is structured, regimented, and operates on a
Twelve Step Recovery Model. Each step of the program has both
specific and unique tasks geared towards the individual client’s
needs.
Clients are required to attend Twelve Step Recovery meetings and
begin a recovery based lifestyle including abstinence, and working
with a sponsor to build a recovery network. Clients must attend
group therapy sessions, individual counseling, substance abuse
education, and agree to periodic drug screening. Clients completing
the program are invited to continue in the Aftercare program.
The Acadiana Recovery Center Outpatient Services Program is
available to any person who has a drug or alcohol problem,
requiring treatment in an outpatient setting or requiring a
continuum of care upon completing Inpatient treatment.
The program is located at the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office
Community Corrections Campus located at 100 Poydras Street in
Lafayette.
In Phase I a client is transferred to the REHAB Program; where the
client will undergo intensive treatment and counseling for the
first thirty days. This includes job readiness training, substance
abuse treatment, and behavior modification.
In Phase II the client gains employment, and continues to
participate in an individual therapy plan determined by his/her
situation and needs.
Phase III begins after a minimum of ninety days during which the
client must have remained employed and have met the majority
of the goals in his/her individualized treatment plan.
In Phase IV if the client has met all requirements and personal
objectives, the client is assigned a discharge plan which could
include continued treatment. If the client is an offender he may
be eligible for transition into housing in the community through
the Alternative Sentencing Program, Oxford House etc.
The Rehab program staff meets and exceeds the highest
standards of their respective professional disciplines and offers
sensitive, insightful and constructive treatment for the chemically
dependent client.
Knowledge is the Effect (Project KITE) is a substance abuse
treatment program available to incarcerated offenders. KITE
participants meet twice a week for 14 weeks utilizing the
evidence-based Criminal and Addictive Thinking curriculum
through The Hazeldon Foundation. Once completed, graduates
will be able to participate in an on-going relapse prevention
group.
The disease of addiction has
recognizable signs and symptoms.
The mission of the Treatment Programs department is to provide
assessment and intervention to the offender population as well as
the general public. Offenders may be referred to diversionary
programs, as appropriate. These programs are designed to target
maladaptive behavior. It is the long-term goal of the staff to
stabilize the individual and also assist with a healthy transition
into society.
Our intensive outpatient program is called Rehab. It is licensed
under the Department of Health and Hospitals. It is structured
off of a five phase program evidenced based modified
therapeutic community.
In Phase V the client has met and accomplished all the program
requirements of treatment and counseling outlined in his/her
discharge plan.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an open-ended self-help program
designed to help offenders understand negative behavior
patterns and to take personal responsibility for their actions.
Community volunteers facilitate weekly male and female groups.
