NOLA Detox and Recovery Center Opens its Doors to Patients

Beds available now as the facility accepts patients  

NEW ORLEANS (August 12, 2021) — Today NOLA Detox and Recovery Center (NOLA Detox), a residential addiction treatment facility in Algiers, announced it has officially opened its doors to patients.  

“This moment has been a long time coming, but we are thrilled to finally say we have beds available now,” says Dan Forman, founder and chief executive officer of NOLA Detox. “The public health crisis occurring across our city and state is detrimental to current and future generations. NOLA Detox is providing real, meaningful solutions to the people of New Orleans.”

Initially opening with 36 beds and planning for further expansion in the coming years, NOLA Detox was formed as a direct response to the worsening addiction crisis across the state. Led by an expert team and backed by the latest advancements in addiction treatment, NOLA Detox offers patients a modern and effective 30-day program for both alcohol and substance abuse.

Recent data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that Louisiana continues to be the state most impacted by this public health crisis. Reports from the CDC also show that, historically, New Orleans has been disproportionally affected, with overdose rates four to six times higher than the rest of the state. Leaders across the state are taking note, with Governor John Bel Edwards recently declaring July 28 as Opioid Crisis Awareness Day in Louisiana.   

“Oftentimes when someone is ready to receive treatment, they are met with barriers such as lack of available beds or treatment options nearby,” says Chris Copeland, founder and chief operating officer of NOLA Detox. “At NOLA Detox, those who want help can get help. We can also promise that they’ll be greeted with the highest standard of care and amenities.”

NOLA Detox prides itself on providing patients with an environment to effectively start their road to recovery. The center will offer patients an array of best-in-class offerings including expert clinical leadership and partnerships with local universities, TVs and queen pillow-top beds in every room, deluxe catered food, AA immersion, family programs, field trips and cultural outings.

NOLA Detox provides accessible treatment for patients with Louisiana Medicaid and commercial insurances for both alcohol and substance abuse. Those seeking treatment for either themselves or a loved one can find more information at www.noladetox.com.
