BHG Monroe Treatment Center

About BHG Monroe Treatment Center

BHG Monroe Treatment Center is an outpatient opioid treatment clinic in Monroe, Louisiana, serving people from West Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, and the wider Northeast Louisiana area. They are part of BHG, a national network of Joint Commission–accredited opioid treatment centers, and their approach pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling and support services so patients can stay at home, keep working, and remain present for their families. They welcome first-time patients, people returning after a break in treatment, and those transferring from another provider, with same-day or next-day appointments often available. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance, and they also offer self-pay options and grant funding for those who qualify.

Medication options include daily methadone dosed under medical supervision, buprenorphine (including Suboxone) given either in the clinic or by prescription, weekly or monthly extended-release buprenorphine injections such as Sublocade and Brixadi, and naltrexone (Vivitrol) for those pursuing abstinence-based recovery. Alongside medication, patients work with licensed counselors in individual and group sessions, connect with peer support specialists who have lived experience in recovery, and can use case management, health assessments, telehealth, and lab monitoring. The first visit typically takes two to three hours and includes an intake assessment, a physical exam, and a personalized treatment plan, and medication can often begin that same day. If a relapse happens, the care team treats it as a reason to adjust the plan with added counseling and medication management rather than as a failure, and dosing starts early on weekday mornings to fit around work schedules.
