Recovery Support
Recovery support is provided in various settings. Recovery support services help people enter into and navigate systems of care, remove barriers to recovery, stay engaged in the recovery process, and live full lives in communities of their choice.

Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, Peer Support Specialists assist individuals and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the potential of relapse.
Regional Recovery Hubs
Regional Recovery Hubs serve as drop-in sites, with a dedicated team of Peer Support Specialists, recovery coaches, public education, prevention efforts, and advocacy, all in a relaxed and non-medical setting. Visitors can benefit from a broad array of services, regardless of where they are in their recovery journey, from individual peer mentoring, to group meetings, to referrals for treatment and/or recovery support services. Locations are currently in Baton Rouge, Covington, Morgan City, New Orleans and Shreveport.
Faith-Based Support
Faith-based organizations play an important role in not only providing support to individuals about options to begin opioid recovery but also in helping educate their congregations about the danger of opioids. Building a partnership with faith-based organizations can help give individuals who are seeking help the best possible outcomes on their road to recovery.
Rather than using prescription painkillers to treat pain, consider an approach that can help get you feeling better without the risk that comes with the use of opioids. These options have fewer side effects and can provide the same level of relief from pain. Learn More
