Who We Are

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

You know what it feels like to carry this alone. The shame, the fear of starting over, the exhaustion of holding it together while working along the Harvey Canal industrial corridor or managing a household that's learned not to ask questions. Addiction counseling means looking at all of it, not just the substance, and that's what makes it feel both terrifying and like relief might actually be possible.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, you'll work with counselors who understand that your mental health and substance use aren't separate problems. You won't be treated like a diagnosis or a file number. We sit with you in the real details of your life, your work, your relationships, and we build recovery that actually fits who you are and what matters to you.

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 Gretna, Not a System

Living in Gretna means many folks work the demanding schedules of the shipping corridor and industrial sector - long hours, high stress, and pressure that can quietly push people toward substances as a way to cope. Addiction counseling matters here because it gives people real support to work through that stress and build healthier ways forward, right where they live, 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.

Common Questions

Questions From Gretna Clients

Integrative Recovery Therapies serves clients throughout Gretna and nearby communities including Marrero, Westwego, Terrytown, and the Metairie area. We offer addiction counseling both in-person at our Metairie office and online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and situation. Whether you're looking for flexible remote sessions or prefer face-to-face support, we're here to help you take the next step.

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 Gretna and considering reaching out, uncertainty is where most people start. Our first conversation is about understanding what you need and whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll be honest about that and connect you with resources that are. You don't have to have it all figured out to take this first step.
