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 Tallulah means a lot of folks carry weight that doesn't show. Whether it's the pull of the river, the grind of work, or just the weight of holding things together in a tight-knit community, stress finds a way in. Reaching out feels hard because admitting you're struggling can feel like admitting defeat. But the truth is, every person in this town has something real they're carrying.
Integrative Recovery Therapies was founded in New Orleans by people who've actually been through it themselves. We're not a corporate chain or a revolving door. Group therapy here means sitting with people who get it, who aren't performing recovery or following a script. You'll hear real stories and feel real presence. That's where healing starts—with people who've walked the same road.
In Tallulah, finding a mental health provider who offers evening appointments and accepts Medicaid can feel impossible. We built our groups around what this community actually needs: small, intimate sessions scheduled after work, transparent pricing that includes Medicaid coverage, and a judgment-free space where real recovery happens. You shouldn't have to travel hours or wait months for care that meets you where you are.
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.
We absolutely work with clients near Tallulah, including folks from Delhi, Morehouse, Winnsboro, and other nearby communities. Since most of our services are available through telehealth, geographic distance rarely gets in the way. If you're interested in in-person group sessions, those are based out of New Orleans, but we're here to support you 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.
We know reaching out is hard, especially if you've tried before or been let down. That's real, and it matters. Your first step with us is simple: a free 15-minute conversation with no commitment. You don't have to figure everything out or commit to anything today. Just talk. That's all we're asking. Things can shift when you're not alone in this.
No commitment required. Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Telehealth available statewide.
