Edgefield Recovery Center

Edgefield Recovery Center is a detox and residential program for men and women struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, as well as co-occurring disorders. Edgefield is based on the 12-Step model and follows a therapeutic community model. They emphasize the autonomy of clients over their treatment recovery and employ therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT).

The center offers medical detox, residential care, and intensive outpatient treatment. During the on-site detox, clients are treated for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual symptoms of withdrawal and are supervised by 24-hour medical staff. Residential and intensive outpatient treatment consists of individual and group therapy, community 12-Step meetings, nutritional and addiction education, life skills training, and aftercare planning. A family program is also offered to promote healing for the client as well as their family members. Therapeutic goals within the program include reconnecting with the true self, addressing self-delusion, and promoting community over the isolating effects of the disease. Additionally, skills within the program prevent relapse and contribute to a successful re-entry into family, employment, and society.

Edgefield Recovery is located in a historic, renovated manor in the Louisiana countryside. Clients can enjoy the 27 acres of beautiful greenery, a pecan orchard, and a bayou that swings through the back of the property. The manor can have up to 70 clients and offers shared bedrooms, as well as a communal kitchen and lounge space. The center is a blackout facility, meaning it does not allow personal cell phone or laptop use. Edgefield accepts private insurance, third-party payers, and Medicaid. It is Joint Commission accredited.
