You've likely driven past the oak-lined streets of Mandeville more times than you can count, and getting yourself to ask for help, even now, took real courage. You don't need to have answers before you call. Shame and exhaustion are not signs you're doing something wrong; they're signals you're human and deserve support.
At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we treat addiction and mental health as connected parts of who you are, not separate problems to shame you about. We work relationally, meaning you'll be met with respect and genuine attention. Our approach is integrative because your healing doesn't fit neatly into one box, and neither will our care.
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.
Living in Mandeville means handling the real stress of commuting and balancing work with family life. When you're juggling a long drive and tight schedules, mental health and addiction struggles can quietly build up. Getting help that treats both at once makes sense—it addresses what's actually happening in your life and helps you feel steadier at home.
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 Mandeville, your first session is simply about meeting and listening. We won't rush you through forms or ask you to have everything figured out right away. You share what feels right in that moment, at your own pace. Together, we'll begin to understand what brought you here and what you might want from our time together. That conversation, not a checklist, guides everything that follows.
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 Mandeville and the surrounding communities, including Covington, Abita Springs, Slidell, Madisonville, and the greater North Shore area. Whether you live right in Mandeville or nearby, you can work with us through telehealth sessions from home, or you're welcome to come into our Metairie office for in-person appointments if that works better for your schedule.
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 whether therapy is right for you, that's completely normal. You don't need to have everything figured out to start a conversation. Our first call is simply about seeing if we're a good fit for each other - nothing more. We'll take it from there, at your pace, in Mandeville.
