About New Start Recovery Inc

New Start Recovery is an outpatient addiction treatment clinic in Houma, Louisiana, serving people from Houma, Thibodaux, Morgan City, and the surrounding area who are struggling with drugs or alcohol. They view addiction as a disease of mind, body, and spirit, and they build recovery around 12-step involvement combined with other therapies matched to each person’s needs. Care includes a 12-week Intensive Outpatient Program, standard outpatient counseling for people with a stable recovery and home environment, and an ongoing aftercare program. Every client is evaluated first so their treatment plan reflects their own background and path into addiction.

Outpatient services include relapse prevention, chemical dependency education, and individual, family, and couples counseling, along with a family education and support program. They also handle substance abuse evaluations, drug and alcohol testing, SAP/DOT evaluations, and treatment services for offshore and oilfield workers, which is useful for people in the region’s energy industry. People finishing residential treatment can step down into the IOP, and IOP graduates can attend free, unlimited weekly evening aftercare sessions. Aftercare also covers coordination with psychiatric and medical providers for co-occurring issues, support for connecting with local 12-step meetings, referrals and placement in other programs, and sober social activities through the clinic.
