About Longbranch Recovery and Wellness
Longbranch Recovery and Wellness began operations in 2017 and is run by Longbranch Healthcare, a leading inpatient treatment provider in Louisiana. The center offers residential care in a fully restored historic hotel building. Typically, treatment at Longbranch Recovery and Wellness lasts between 30 and 90 days. Master’s-level clinicians provide services for both men and women dealing with substance use disorders along with co-occurring mental health conditions. Before admission, prospective clients must complete an assessment; if detox is required, they are referred to Covington Behavioral prior to entering Longbranch Recovery and Wellness. The treatment approach combines the 12-step philosophy with SMART Recovery. Clients with dual diagnoses can also receive medication management, along with daily 1:1 therapy. Therapies may include The Minnesota Model, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), experiential therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). Longbranch Recovery and Wellness is accredited by the Joint Commission and works with most major insurance plans.
The residential program at Longbranch Recovery and Wellness is designed to serve up to 32 clients within the Historic Longbranch Hotel. The Abita Springs area is calm and restorative, creating a private setting for recovery. The space is thoughtfully arranged to highlight classic Southern character. Living arrangements include spacious shared bedrooms with private en suite bathrooms. Additional features include a dedicated yoga center, a pool, a coffee bar, and an on-site restaurant within the historic property. Comfortable common areas offer well-appointed seating, a flat-screen TV with local cable, a wrap-around balcony and porch, Japanese gardens, and an activity center. The program is co-ed, but men and women are separated into gender-specific floors.
