Who We Are

You're Not a Label. You're a Person Who Deserves a Plan.

Looking for addiction counseling often means you're carrying far more than the substance itself: the fear of slipping back, the weight of shame, the grief of lost time, and the exhaustion of holding together work, family, and your own survival. Here in Ponchatoula, where many of us work hard and keep our struggles quiet, that isolation can feel permanent. It isn't. What you're feeling right now is real, and it's also temporary.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, counseling means sitting down with someone who sees you clearly, not as a diagnosis or a statistic. We address both your mental health and substance use together, because they're never separate in real life. Your recovery happens in the context of your actual days: your job, your relationships, your responsibilities. We work at a pace that feels honest, without judgment, helping you build understanding and resilience in the way that actually works for your life.

What We Help With

  • Alcohol, drug, and polysubstance use
  • Cravings, triggers, and relapse prevention
  • Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma
  • Codependency and unstable relationship patterns
  • Justice involvement and re-entry stress
  • Life transitions and identity rebuilding

Why Clients Choose IRT

Recovery Support Built Around Ponchatoula, Not a System

Ponchatoula's rhythm is shaped by farming and small-town life, with many residents also commuting the I-55 and I-12 corridors for work in Hammond, Baton Rouge, or New Orleans. That mix of long drives and close-knit community can make it hard to find privacy and support close to home. Addiction counseling here means having a place to be honest that doesn't feel like everyone in town will know your business.

Human-First, Not a Case File

You are spoken to as a peer, not a problem. We do not use shame as a motivator.

Integrated Care

We address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships alongside use, because separating them misses what keeps the cycle going.

Direct but Not Harsh

Accountability without shame. Steady honesty paired with real compassion, in the same conversation.

Insurance-Friendly Access

Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial plans accepted.

How It Works

Your First Steps in Addiction Counseling

Your first sessions won't rush you to have answers figured out. We take time to understand your full story—your life, relationships, what brought you here. Goals can form as we talk. You don't need to feel ready or certain before you start. Just reaching out is enough.

01

Reach Out

A real member of our team, often one of our founders, responds personally to understand what's going on.

02

Clear, Respectful Assessment

We talk about use patterns, triggers, prior treatment, mental health, and what you want your life to look like.

03

Goals That Match Your Stage

Abstinence, harm reduction, or rebuilding stability after a setback, we're transparent about what we recommend and why.

04

Relapse Prevention, Ongoing

A practical plan for the urge and for the setback, plus reinforcement of what's already working.

Common Questions

Questions From Ponchatoula Clients

Integrative Recovery Therapies serves clients throughout Ponchatoula and the surrounding area, including Amite, Independence, Tangipahoa, Kentwood, and Abita Springs. We offer addiction counseling both online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for folks who need flexibility, and in-person sessions at our Metairie office if you prefer face-to-face support. Whether you're local or need to connect from home, we're here to help you get on the path to recovery.

Yes. We work with Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance plans. Our team will verify your specific benefits before your first session, and we're transparent about costs from the start.

No. Many clients feel split, part of them wants relief and part of them fears what recovery will require. We use Motivational Interviewing to explore that ambivalence without pressure or power struggles, and build honest momentum from wherever you're starting.

We currently are unable to offer support for schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For most co-occurring concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders alongside substance use, we treat them together.

You Don't Have to Do This Alone.

Ready or not, unsure or curious - that's exactly where people start. A first conversation with us is just that: a conversation about whether we're a fit for what you need. We'll be honest if we aren't, and we'll help point you toward what works. Reach out whenever you're ready.
