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.
Terrytown sits right along the industrial corridor where the Mississippi River shapes everything, and the pressure of making it work here—whether you're tied to the refinery, the port, or just trying to keep your family stable in a place that demands a lot—that weight gets real. A lot of people carry it quietly, thinking they should just manage alone. Reaching out can feel like admitting something's broken, but it's actually the opposite.
Integrative Recovery Therapies started in New Orleans with people who've been through their own hard stuff. This isn't a corporate machine or a place where you show up and get shuffled through. In group therapy here, you sit with others who actually get it, and something shifts when you realize you're not alone in what you're carrying. Real people, real recovery, real connection.
In Terrytown, finding mental health support that fits your schedule and budget can feel impossible. Many residents travel far for care or can't access evening appointments that work around work and family. We offer small, intimate groups that meet evenings, accept Medicaid, and are available through telehealth so you can join from home. You'll find real people who understand your situation without judgment, right here in your community.
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 absolutely serve clients near Terrytown, including folks from Estelle, Westwego, Marrero, Waggaman, and surrounding areas. Thanks to telehealth, where you live doesn't really matter for most of our services. If you're interested in in-person group sessions, those are held in New Orleans. Either way, we're here to help you get the support you need.
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 disappointed by the system. That's why we start simple: a free 15-minute conversation with no strings attached. You get to hear what we do and decide if it's right for you. Nothing more. A lot of people find that small step makes a real difference.
No commitment required. Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Telehealth available statewide.
