Who We Are

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

You're carrying more than the substance use itself. In Covington, where so many people cross the Causeway into New Orleans or Metairie every day for work, the exhaustion of that commute can leave little room to face what's really going on underneath, the shame, the fear of letting people down, the quiet sense that everyone around you has it together. Counseling means facing all of that, not just the substance itself.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, you'll work with counselors who understand your life as it actually is. We address mental health and substance use together, without reducing you to a diagnosis or a case file. Your recovery happens in a calm, respectful space grounded in what matters most to you, one day at a time.

What We Help With

  • Alcohol, drug, and polysubstance use
  • Cravings, triggers, and relapse prevention
  • Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma
  • Codependency and unstable relationship patterns
  • Justice involvement and re-entry stress
  • Life transitions and identity rebuilding

Why Clients Choose IRT

Recovery Support Built Around Covington, Not a System

Living in Covington means many of us work demanding jobs in nearby industrial corridors or long commutes that blur work and home life. Addiction counseling matters here because recovery isn't just about stopping substance use - it's about rebuilding your footing when work stress, family strain, and exhaustion have worn you down. A counselor who understands your world can help you find steadier ground.

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 sessions are about understanding your whole situation - your life, your patterns, what brought you here. We listen and ask questions. Goals can start small, even when you're uncertain. There's no requirement to have everything figured out before you begin. You just need to show up.

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 Covington Clients

We serve clients throughout Covington and the surrounding area, including Abita Springs, Folsom, Mandeville, and Slidell. Whether you're looking for in-person addiction counseling at our Metairie office or prefer to meet online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, we work with you to find what fits your schedule and comfort level. Getting help should be straightforward, and we're here to make it happen.

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 Covington and thinking about counseling, uncertainty is exactly where people start. A first conversation is just that - a chance to see if we're the right fit for what you need. We'll be honest if we're not, and we'll point you toward resources that work better. You're in control here.
