Imagine Recovery

About Imagine Recovery

Imagine Recovery is an outpatient addiction and mental health treatment center in uptown New Orleans, Louisiana, serving adults 18 and older. Founders Christopher and Felicia opened the center in 2017 after losing members of the local and Tulane communities to substance use and suicide, and they built it around small groups, personal connection, and a stigma-free environment. They treat alcohol and drug addiction, co-occurring disorders, and primary mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, personality disorders, self-harm, and binge eating. Their levels of care include a partial hospitalization program, day and early evening intensive outpatient, a 12-week DBT skills outpatient program with an expanded OP Plus track, and Imagine House sober living.

The PHP runs four to six weeks with weekday morning groups, weekly individual therapy, and bi-weekly family therapy, education, and support. Clients can then step down through IOP and outpatient into aftercare, a path that can add up to more than six months of support. Groups cover DBT skills, narrative therapy, mind-body medicine, self-compassion, goal setting, creative and art-based work, music, mindfulness, and a gentle introduction to the Twelve Steps, alongside CBT, motivational interviewing, and psychodrama. Master’s-level clinicians lead all therapy sessions, and board-certified addiction psychiatrists handle psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and medication-assisted treatment when it’s appropriate.
