Real Connection. Practical Skills. A Path Forward.

Ferriday carries its own weight. Whether it's the hard work that keeps this place running or the quiet struggles that come with small-town life, a lot of people here are carrying something. Reaching out can feel impossible when you're used to handling things alone, but that heaviness wasn't meant to be yours to bear by yourself.

Integrative Recovery Therapies was built by people in New Orleans who've actually lived through this. We're not a corporate system or a revolving door. Group therapy here means sitting with real people who get it, not checking boxes or pretending everything's fine. That's where actual healing starts.

Care That Doesn't Disappear When the Work Gets Hard

In Ferriday, distance to quality mental health care and limited evening availability have kept too many people from getting help. We built IRT differently. Our small groups meet evenings right here in your community, and if you need flexibility, telehealth brings therapy to your home. We accept Medicaid and approach recovery without judgment. You deserve care that fits your life, not the other way around.

Intentionally Small Groups

Our IOP groups stabilize at around 8 participants. That's not an accident. Smaller groups create real accountability, genuine peer connection, and enough space for every voice to matter.

Evening Hours That Work for Your Life

Groups run Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6–9 PM. You keep your job, your family commitments, and your daily life while doing real recovery work.

Lived Experience in the Room

Our co-founders include people who have walked their own recovery journeys. That shows up in how we listen, what we understand without explaining, and how we hold accountability without shame.

Medicaid, Medicare & Insurance Accepted

Quality care shouldn't require a private-pay budget. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and select commercial plans, because access is part of equity.

Mental Health and Addiction, Together

We don't separate substance use from the anxiety, trauma, or depression underneath it. Whole-person care treats the full picture, not just the most visible symptom.

Telehealth Across Louisiana

Can't make it in person? Telehealth sessions are available for residents throughout Louisiana via HIPAA-compliant video. Same care, wherever you are.

"You don't have to have everything figured out to start."

A free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment. Just an honest conversation about whether we're a good fit.

What to Expect When You Reach Out

Getting started doesn't require you to have it all together. Here's what happens next.

Start the Conversation

Fill out our short intake form or call us directly. A real person, often one of our founders, will respond personally, usually within one business day.

Free Consultation Call

We'll talk honestly about what you're navigating, what you're looking for, and whether IRT is the right fit. No pressure. If we're not the right fit, we'll help you find who is.

First Session

The first meeting is about listening and relationship-building, not paperwork or protocols. You don't have to disclose everything. You just have to show up.

Collaborative Care Plan

Together we define goals, talk through group vs. individual options, and build a plan that fits your life, not a one-size-fits-all treatment template.

Questions About Group Therapy in Ferriday

Yes, we work with clients throughout the Ferriday area, including Jonesville, Vidalia, Natchitoches, and Winnsboro. Thanks to telehealth, distance doesn't limit most of our services. If you're interested in in-person group sessions, those are held in New Orleans, but we're happy to support you remotely from wherever you are.

Our IOP groups meet Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 PM and typically include around 8 participants. Sessions blend psychoeducation, skills training (DBT, CBT, mindfulness-based approaches), and open peer dialogue in a structured but non-punitive environment. The goal isn't confession or compliance; it's genuine connection, practical skill-building, and honest accountability. Groups are intentionally small so that each person's voice gets space.

Yes. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and select commercial insurance plans. This is a deliberate choice. Access to quality mental health and addiction care should not be limited to people who can afford private-pay rates. If you have questions about your specific coverage, please contact us and we'll work through it with you directly, without judgment and without sales pressure.

Many of the people who come to us have been dismissed, rushed, or made to feel like a number in a system that wasn't built for them. We hear that often, and we take it seriously. IRT was built specifically to be different: small, relationship-centered, trauma-informed, and honest about what we can and can't offer. If something doesn't feel right, you can say so. We will not abandon you, and we will not shame you for having doubts.

Recovery Is Possible. You Don't Have to Do This Alone.

We know reaching out is hard, especially if you've tried before or been let down. That's why we start simple: a free 15-minute conversation with no commitment. You can just listen, ask questions, or tell us what's on your mind. Nothing more. From there, it's your choice. Many people find that small first step changes things.

No commitment required. Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Telehealth available statewide.
