Minden Behavioral Health Clinic

About Minden Behavioral Health Clinic

Minden Behavioral Health Clinic in Minden, Louisiana, is one of four community clinics run by the Northwest Louisiana Human Services District, a public agency serving Webster and eight other parishes in the region. They treat mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders, with care centered on wellness, recovery, and independence. Outpatient and intensive outpatient counseling are offered alongside medication-assisted treatment. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most other insurance, offer a sliding fee scale based on income and family size, and serve people regardless of ability to pay, with admission priority going to pregnant people who inject drugs, other pregnant people using substances, and people who inject drugs.

Counseling is available in individual, family, and group formats, supported by screening and assessment, medication management, on-site pharmacy services, and nursing care that includes injections and HIV, STD, and pregnancy testing. Peer support, Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) services, and community psychiatric supports help people build stability outside of sessions. Through contracted community partners, the district also connects clients to medical detox, adult residential substance use treatment, inpatient adolescent treatment, and gambling treatment at several levels of care. Wraparound help such as case management, transportation, supported housing, homeless outreach, benefits assistance, and a mobile crisis line with in-home intervention rounds out the support available.
