An outpatient program for individuals requiring detoxification from substances with many of the benefits of inpatient detoxification but in a less-restrictive, cost-effective environment.

This is facilitated by nurses and physicians. Our doctors are fellowship trained and Board Certified Physicians that specialize in the treatment of addiction. Individuals requiring detoxification from substances and brain stabilization have access to many of the benefits of inpatient detoxification but in a less-restrictive, cost-effective environment. Alchemy Addiction’s specialized service is provided at our locations near you, Arabi, Metairie, and Slidell.
Once admitted to this level of care the client is seen by a nurse and physician who assesses and treats them with withdrawal prevention/detox and mood/brain stabilizing medications. They are routinely monitored by our medical professionals as indicated by their specific withdrawal prevention/detox or mood/brain stabilization needs. Our medical staff is equip to address co- occurring psychiatric diagnosis. Patients can start to heal from the comfort of their own home. The integration into Alchemy Addiction’s IOP program also begins concurrently.
The intent and design of this type of treatment are to create “The Alchemy of Addiction Treatment”- the transformation from active addiction, into stabilized integration and participation in our IOP program. This is “Where Transformation Begins”, where the suffering from active addiction ends, and where the fullness of recovery begins- ” A Transformation of the Mind, Body and Spirit.” “This is the Easier, Softer Way”.
