About BHG New Orleans Westbank

Behavioral Health Group (BHG) is a leading provider of outpatient addiction treatment services, collaborating with referral partners to support individuals in their recovery from opioid use. Grounded in evidence-based practices, BHG’s multidisciplinary team integrates medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and wraparound services— tailored to each patient’s unique goals and recovery pathway.
Operating 114 treatment centers across 22 states, BHG is the largest Joint Commission-accredited outpatient treatment network in the U.S. This reach allows the organization to implement consistent best practices across its locations, serving over 43,000 patients daily. Reported outcomes show that 92% of patients experience improved quality of life and mental health, 83% report decreased substance use, and 45% secure employment within their first year of treatment.
BHG is among the 4.2% of treatment providers nationally that offer all three FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, paired with counseling and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) at select sites. Its whole-person approach aims to support treatment retention, reduce opioid use, minimize risk behaviors, and promote long-term recovery.

How do I start treatment at BHG New Orleans Westbank?
Call the facility directly at (504) 347-1120 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
