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.
Intimate, trauma-informed groups for addiction, co-occurring mental health, and the deeper work of rebuilding a life. Evening sessions. Medicaid and Medicare accepted.
Living in Plaquemine means you're likely juggling work pressures, family expectations, and the weight of keeping it together in a tight-knit community. The petrochemical plants here drive the economy and shape daily life, and that kind of pressure doesn't just stay at work. Sometimes the hardest part isn't admitting you're struggling, it's believing that reaching out won't make things worse.
Integrative Recovery Therapies started in New Orleans because founders had been there themselves and knew what wasn't working in typical treatment settings. Our group therapy in Plaquemine brings together people who get it, who aren't performing for a clinician but actually talking with peers who've carried similar weight. You're not a case file here, and you won't cycle through a corporate system that doesn't know your name next month.
Many in Plaquemine struggle to find mental health care that fits their schedules and budgets, especially when providers are far away or don't accept Medicaid. We offer evening and telehealth groups so you can get support without long drives or time off work. Our small, intimate settings and non-judgmental approach mean you'll actually feel heard, not rushed through another appointment.
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.
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.
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.
Quality care shouldn't require a private-pay budget. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and select commercial plans, because access is part of equity.
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.
Can't make it in person? Telehealth sessions are available for residents throughout Louisiana via HIPAA-compliant video. Same care, wherever you are.
A free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment. Just an honest conversation about whether we're a good fit.
Getting started doesn't require you to have it all together. Here's what happens next.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, we work with clients throughout the Plaquemine area, including nearby communities like Donaldsonville, Gonzales, Geismar, Lutcher, Labadieville, and Gramercy. Thanks to telehealth, geographic distance isn't much of a barrier for most of our clients. If you prefer in-person group sessions, we host those in New Orleans, which is about 30 minutes away. Either way, we're here to help.
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.
We know reaching out is hard, especially if you've tried before or felt let down by the systems that were supposed to help. That's real, and it matters. Your first step with us is simple: a free 15-minute conversation with no strings attached. You can ask questions, listen, and decide if this is right for you. We're here when you're ready.
No commitment required. Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Telehealth available statewide.
