Our Programs
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is a powerful tool used by our addiction medicine staff to treat patients suffering from addiction to alcohol and opioids. The medications used at Positive Direction Recovery Resources are safe for the vast majority of people, are FDA-approved, and, when used in conjunction with Intensive Outpatient (IOP) as well as other levels of care Positive Direction offers, recovery can finally be sustainable. It is our belief that “cookie-cutter” treatment is not for everyone, and for those who have tried everything else, MAT offers an alternative treatment opportunity for a sustained and healthy recovery from addiction.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Positive Direction Recovery Resources offers an IOP program that is for adults with alcohol and or drug addiction disorders. The IOP comprehensive curriculum is 8-12-weeks. The program is based upon cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivation enhancement therapy, and family systems theory. IOP patients have access to not only the IOP group, but also Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), Relapse Prevention/After Care groups and many behavioral health treatment options including: Anger Management, Life Skills, Parenting Enhancement and various other social support groups.

Positive Direction is on the forefront of MAT housing in South Louisiana, offering one of the first MAT houses in the whole state.
