About Sanctuary Louisiana

This private 40-bed men’s recovery center helps adults overcome alcoholism, drug addiction, and co-occurring mental health disorders. With a mission to heal the mind, body, and spirit, the center offers residential, intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient care in a structured environment. Clients referred by the courts may begin with treatment and transition into sober living homes. Job assistance, court support, and long-term planning help clients reintegrate into society with purpose.
Treatment follows the 12-step model, combining evidence-based and values-based approaches like moral reconation therapy (MRT). Each person receives an individualized plan that includes one-on-one and group counseling, drug education, family therapy, and life skills training. Evening IOP tracks allow clients to work while getting care. The center also promotes healing by addressing emotional and social needs through relapse prevention, coping skills, and education.
Clients live in dorm-style housing or sober living homes with 6-10 men per house. A house manager supports structure and accountability, while weekly meetings and attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) support groups foster peer connection and recovery. Family gatherings are held at Whispering Pines Retreat, a peaceful outdoor space with ponds, pavilions, and shaded decks. Transportation to court, work, and medical appointments is available, and all clients receive regular drug testing to help maintain accountability.

Private for-profit organization. Primary focus: substance use treatment, transitional housing, halfway house, or sober home.
