Avenues Recovery Center at Covington is a residential drug and alcohol recovery facility located in Covington, Louisiana, offering medically supported detox and comprehensive treatment in a peaceful, wooded setting. The center opened in late 2022 as a modern 100‑bed facility (now about 104 - 106 beds), expanding Avenues Recovery’s presence in Louisiana.

Set on a wooded campus, Avenues Covington features bright, accessible accommodations with both private and shared rooms, En‑suite bathrooms, lounges, a gym, wellness center, and indoor laundromat all within one building. The facility is fully wheelchair‑accessible, and clients are supported with round‑the‑clock Assisted Daily Living services for physical and emotional care.

Treatment begins with medically managed detox (for drugs or alcohol) followed by individualized residential care. Avenues emphasizes holistic, evidence‑based therapies including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, 12‑step facilitation, and medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid or alcohol dependence. Specialized tracks support clients with co‑occurring mental health disorders (e.g., PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar) as well as veterans.

Clients engage in a balanced schedule of individual therapy, group sessions, skills workshops, family and couples counseling, and daily recovery meetings (e.g. AA, NA). There’s also a rich mix of holistic and recreational activities: yoga, meditation, art and music therapy, fitness classes, gardening, hiking, and weekend outings to foster wellness and connection.

Avenues Covington accepts most major commercial insurances Aetna, Humana, BlueCross BlueShield, UHC/Optum, Tricare, VA CCN and Medicaid plans, making treatment more accessible. They offer extended residential stays beyond the typical 28‑30 days based on individual needs, with optional transitions to sober living programs afterward.

Aftercare is a key part of the Avenues model: graduates are welcomed into a thriving alumni network that offers events, support groups, recovery coaches, and relapse prevention planning to help maintain long‑term sobriety.
