Who We Are

You're Not a Label. You're a Person Who Deserves a Plan.

Looking for addiction counseling usually means you're carrying more than the substance itself: fear about relapse, shame, grief, and the quiet exhaustion of holding work, family, and your own survival together. Here in Chalmette, where the Mississippi River shapes the pace of life and community runs deep, that weight can feel especially lonely. You've likely tried harder than most to keep things steady. At Integrative Recovery Therapies, addiction counseling is calm and respectful, grounded in how your actual days unfold. We address mental health and substance use together because they move together in your life. You won't be treated like a label or case file, but like someone whose recovery matters and whose story makes sense.

Why Clients Choose IRT

Recovery Support Built Around Chalmette, Not a System

Living in Chalmette means working hard in industries like oil, gas, and shipping that come with real physical and emotional demands. Addiction counseling matters here because it meets people where they are - acknowledging the stress of the work, the long hours, and what people reach for to cope. A good counselor understands your world and helps you find steadier ground without judgment.

Human-First, Not a Case File

You are spoken to as a peer, not a problem. We do not use shame as a motivator.

Integrated Care

We address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships alongside use, because separating them misses what keeps the cycle going.

Direct but Not Harsh

Accountability without shame. Steady honesty paired with real compassion, in the same conversation.

Insurance-Friendly Access

Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial plans accepted.

How It Works

Your First Steps in Addiction Counseling

Your first few sessions aren't about having all the answers. A counselor will listen to your whole story - not just substance use, but what's happening in your life, your relationships, your health. You can set goals whenever you're ready, even if you don't feel completely certain yet. There's no rush to figure everything out before you begin.

01

Reach Out

A real member of our team, often one of our founders, responds personally to understand what's going on.

02

Clear, Respectful Assessment

We talk about use patterns, triggers, prior treatment, mental health, and what you want your life to look like.

03

Goals That Match Your Stage

Abstinence, harm reduction, or rebuilding stability after a setback, we're transparent about what we recommend and why.

04

Relapse Prevention, Ongoing

A practical plan for the urge and for the setback, plus reinforcement of what's already working.

Common Questions

Questions From Chalmette Clients

Integrative Recovery Therapies serves clients throughout Chalmette, LA and the surrounding communities including Arabi, Meraux, Violet, and the greater New Orleans area. Whether you prefer to meet with a counselor in person at our Metairie office or work with us online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, we offer addiction counseling that fits your life. We understand that everyone's situation is different, so we make both options available to help you get the support you need.

Yes. We work with Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance plans. Our team will verify your specific benefits before your first session, and we're transparent about costs from the start.

No. Many clients feel split, part of them wants relief and part of them fears what recovery will require. We use Motivational Interviewing to explore that ambivalence without pressure or power struggles, and build honest momentum from wherever you're starting.

We currently are unable to offer support for schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For most co-occurring concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders alongside substance use, we treat them together.

You Don't Have to Do This Alone.

If you're in Chalmette and wondering whether to reach out, uncertainty is exactly where this work begins.
