You've made it this far, and that matters. If you're here in Kenner, working hard just to get through your days, wondering how to reach out while the Mississippi River and all this humidity and noise keeps moving around you, you don't need to have the answers yet. That exhaustion, that shame, that uncertainty about where to start—you can bring all of it here without apology.
At Integrative Recovery Therapies, care means being treated as a whole person. We work with addiction and mental health together, not separately, because that's how you actually live. You'll find people here who see your struggle clearly and respect it, who won't pile shame on top of what you're already carrying. This is relational work, built on honesty and steady presence.
Many of the people who reach out to us have tried before. Maybe a program that didn't fit. Maybe a clinician who rushed through the room. Maybe a system that asked you to perform recovery rather than actually live it. We understand why that history makes it harder to try again.
Integrative Recovery Therapies was built around a simple idea: real change happens in relationship, not in spite of it. We treat addiction and mental health together, because that is how they actually live in a person. We pair compassion with accountability, because both matter. And we are intentionally a small, intimate practice, so that you are never just a number on a census report.
If we are the right fit, you can expect honesty, non-judgment, and real partnership. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you, and we will help connect you with someone who is.
In Kenner, the demands of port and industrial work, combined with the weight of past hurricanes and ongoing recovery, can wear on your mind and body in ways that deserve real attention. When addiction and mental health struggles happen together, treating them as separate problems misses the whole picture of what you're carrying. Getting both addressed at once, with people who understand your community, makes a real difference.
We are intentionally small. You will see the same clinician each week. Leadership stays directly involved in care. That is how trust gets rebuilt.
Most people arrive carrying both. We treat them as one integrated experience rather than handing you off between siloed providers.
Honest conversations, respectfully delivered. Skill-building alongside insight. Recovery defined as a life worth protecting, not just abstinence.
We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and select commercial insurance. Evening IOP groups Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday let you keep working and stay close to family.
One conversation is enough to start. We will listen first, and figure out fit together.
Schedule a Free ConsultationWhen you reach out from Kenner, your first session is about us getting to know each other. We'll listen more than we talk, and there's no pressure to share everything at once. Think of it as a beginning, not a test. We'll take time to understand what brings you in, and together we'll figure out what matters most to work on. The paperwork can wait.
A real person, often one of the founders, responds to your inquiry. We talk briefly about what is going on and whether IRT is the right fit. If we are not, we help you find someone who is.
The first meeting is about getting to know each other. There is no pressure to disclose everything or commit to a plan. We listen first.
Goals are defined collaboratively. We talk about whether individual therapy, IOP, family work, or some combination makes sense for where you are.
Sessions blend skill-building with insight. We stay with you as things shift, including life transitions and the harder weeks.
Integrative Recovery Therapies serves folks throughout Kenner and the surrounding communities, including Metairie, Harahan, River Ridge, Elmwood, and Jefferson. We know not everyone can easily make the trip to our Metairie office, so we offer telehealth sessions for those who need that flexibility. If you're able to come in person, we're happy to see you that way too - whatever works best for your recovery.
Yes. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and select commercial insurance plans. We will verify your benefits before your first session and explain what coverage looks like in plain language. If we are out of network for your plan, we will tell you up front and talk through options.
IOP groups meet Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, 6 to 9 PM. Groups are intentionally small, usually around eight people. The work blends psychoeducation, skill-building, peer support, and accountability inside a trauma-informed structure. Evening hours are designed to let you stay engaged with work, family, and daily life while in treatment.
Yes, and we encourage it when clinically appropriate. Addiction and mental health concerns rarely sit inside one person alone. Family and couples sessions help repair communication, set healthier boundaries, and bring loved ones into the recovery process rather than leaving them on the outside of it.
If you're uncertain, that's the right place to start. You don't need to have it figured out to reach out. A first conversation is simply about seeing whether we might work together - nothing more. In Kenner or beyond, we're here to listen.
