Avenues Recovery Center at Louisiana

Brittni Barlow

I was so nervous going into treatment, bc I had no clue what it was going to be like. But from the minute I got there, everyone was so welcoming and humble. It was such a comfortable environment. The classes were everything I needed to learn how to continue my life in a better way. I am so thankful for my experience, and would highly recommend others.

Avenues saved my life! As a terrified alcoholic, I finally reached out for help. It was the best decision I ever made. I learned ways to cope with my trauma in ways other than turning to alcohol. Now at 18 months sober I stay involved with our alumni community, which is amazing and a HUGE part of recovery for all of us. If you are struggling, please reach out. There is no shame in waving the white flag. Avenues can and will help you! 🖤

As a 2 time graduate of Avenues, I can not sing their praise high enough. I've been struggling with alcoholism and addiction for most of my adult life, and this was the first place that was really able to give me any real help. Having gone through just about every other program in greater NOLA, here is what makes Avenues different. They treat the INDIVIDUAL PERSON rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach that other programs promote. They address any outlying mental health issues first, and the treatment plan is designed for the person's particular needs. They treat the client like an adult rather than an unruly child that needs scolding and constant correction. They keep you comfortable, occupied and help build you up with sincere love and support. I went through Townsend when it was in New Orleans East (now relocated to Covington) in 2019 and Dr. Julius was the first doctor to really listen to me, and changed my medication regiment to something that actually worked. I enjoyed over 2 years continuous sobriety for the first time in my life. Slipping back during quarantine, and completely falling back into full blown addiction this march they welcomed me back with love and open arms. Avenues has done nothing short of saving my life twice and I am eternally grateful for them and all their amazing staff. They really go above and beyond every single day. Even if other treatment centers haven't been able to help you, give Avenues a chance.

I graduated this program last year after staying 60 days. I am still sober and attending the alumni Meetings every week! I love my alumni family! If you are considering treatment this place will get you on track! Thank you avenues and Ashley!
