You've likely driven past the old Avondale shipyard and the industrial stretch along the Mississippi enough times to know that Marrero runs on resilience. If you're here now, searching for help with addiction or what's happening in your mind, you've already done something hard. You don't need to have answers before you call. Reaching out is enough.
At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we treat you as a whole person where your addiction and mental health aren't separate problems to solve in isolation. We work relationally, which means you'll be met without shame or punishment, only honesty and respect. We believe healing happens in connection, and we're here to help you find your way back to yourself.
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 Marrero means handling the real pressures of industrial work and environmental concerns that can wear on your body and mind over time. When addiction and mental health struggles show up, they're not separate problems to solve alone. Getting care that treats them together, with people who understand your community, makes it possible to actually heal and move forward with the people who depend on you.
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 Marrero, your first session is really just about us getting to know each other. There's no clipboard full of forms or rush to diagnose anything. We listen, we talk about what brought you here, and you share whatever feels right in that moment. Nothing is expected all at once. Together, we figure out what matters most to you and what you'd like to work toward.
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 Marrero and the surrounding areas, including Estelle, Avondale, Waggaman, and the greater Westbank communities. If getting to our Metairie office is tough for you, we offer telehealth sessions so you can get the help you need from home. For those who can make the drive, we're happy to meet with you in person as well.
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 exactly right. You don't need to have it figured out before reaching out. A first conversation is simply that - a chance to see if we're a fit for each other. We meet people where they actually are, not where they think they should be. That's how real work begins.
