Edgefield Recovery Center is a detox and residential program for men and women struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, as well as co-occurring disorders. Edgefield is based on the 12-Step model and follows a therapeutic community model. They emphasize the autonomy of clients over their treatment recovery and employ therapeutic methods such as
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT) and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT).
The center offers
medical detox, residential care, and intensive
outpatient treatment. During the on-site detox, clients are treated for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual symptoms of withdrawal and are supervised by 24-hour medical staff. Residential and
intensive outpatient treatment consists of individual and group therapy, community 12-Step meetings, nutritional and addiction education, life skills training, and aftercare planning. A family program is also offered to promote healing for the client as well as their family members. Therapeutic goals within the program include reconnecting with the true self, addressing self-delusion, and promoting community over the isolating effects of the disease. Additionally, skills within the program prevent relapse and contribute to a successful re-entry into family, employment, and society.
Edgefield Recovery is located in a historic, renovated manor in the Louisiana countryside. Clients can enjoy the 27 acres of beautiful greenery, a pecan orchard, and a bayou that swings through the back of the property. The manor can have up to 70 clients and offers shared bedrooms, as well as a communal kitchen and lounge space. The center is a blackout facility, meaning it does not allow personal cell phone or laptop use. Edgefield accepts private insurance, third-party payers, and Medicaid. It is Joint Commission accredited.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Edgefield Recovery Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
