Doctors Hospital's Addictive Disease Unit, located at 1130 Louisiana Avenue in Shreveport, LA, provides comprehensive substance abuse treatment and detoxification services to individuals and families struggling with addiction. The facility specializes in serving patients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, as well as seniors and older adults who require specialized, age-appropriate care. As a hospital-based treatment center, Doctors Hospital combines medical expertise with addiction medicine to ensure safe, evidence-based recovery.
Doctors Hospital offers multiple levels of care designed to meet each patient's unique needs and clinical requirements. Detoxification services provide medically supervised withdrawal management, helping patients safely discontinue substance use under professional care. Inpatient or hospitalization care is ideal for individuals with severe addiction, medical complications, or those requiring 24/7 monitoring and therapeutic support. Partial hospitalization or day treatment programs offer intensive outpatient services for patients who have completed inpatient care or those who do not require round-the-clock monitoring. All programs address dual diagnosis cases, meaning clinicians treat addiction alongside co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or trauma—providing integrated care that targets the root causes of substance use.
Doctors Hospital accepts Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and self-payment options, ensuring treatment is accessible regardless of your insurance status. If you have private insurance, coverage for addiction treatment is protected under the Mental Health Parity Act, which requires insurers to cover substance use disorder treatment with the same benefits as other medical conditions. Cost should never be a barrier to recovery—our admissions team can verify your coverage, explain your benefits, and discuss affordable payment plans if needed.
