SERVICES:

This program averages more than 350 substance abuse assessments per year for Iberville residents referred by the court, probation and parole, social services, and employers. Iberville Parish also has one of the highest rates of voluntary referrals in the seven parishes served by the Capital Area Human Services District. 

During a typical week, almost 100 Iberville residents will receive services at the Iberville Parish Substance Abuse Center. These services include:

• Free addiction assessment and evaluation screenings,
• Intensive Outpatient treatment (nine hours of therapy per week),
• Moderate Intensive Outpatient treatment (four hours of therapy per week),
• Non Intensive treatment (one and a half-hours of treatment per week),
• Individual therapy,
• After Care therapy, and
• Support (NA/AA) groups.

More than 25 clients in an average week would be facing incarceration if not participating in this program.  The success of the Iberville Parish Substance Abuse Center has led to it being used as the model for treatment centers in other parishes.
