Mississippi Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center

The typical length of stay in our residential program is 30 to 45 days, depending on individual clinical needs and progress. Outpatient programs typically last around 10 weeks.

The living situation is comfortable and home-like in a former assisted living facility. Most rooms are semi-private, meaning you will have a roommate. If a private room is available and you wish to have one, it can be arranged for an additional cost.

No, this is a voluntary program, not a locked facility. You can leave at any time. The 5-acre property is fenced in, and clients are expected to remain on-site unless with staff for approved outings like support meetings.

Yes to both. Smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas. We also allow clients to bring and use their personal cell phones and laptops, which is a unique policy designed to help you stay connected to your support network.

When packing for our facility, it's best to focus on comfort and essentials. You should bring about a week's worth of comfortable, casual clothing. Pack essential toiletries, but make sure they are new, unopened, and alcohol-free. It is also crucial to bring your ID, insurance card, a list of important contacts, and any prescription medications in their original bottles. For personal time, consider bringing a journal, photos, and reading material. Since we allow personal electronics, you should also remember to pack your laptop, mobile phone, and their necessary chargers.

To ensure a safe and focused treatment environment, please leave the following at home: any drugs, alcohol, or unapproved medications; valuables such as expensive jewelry or large sums of cash; any items that could be considered a weapon; outside food or drinks; and any clothing with logos related to drugs, alcohol, or with offensive messaging.

Care is provided by a team of "leading medical professionals and Masters level clinicians." You will see a doctor via telehealth for your initial assessment and medication management, and our on-site nurses and counselors will provide your day-to-day care and support. Many of our techs and counselors are also in active recovery, offering a unique layer of peer support.

Our program is co-ed for adults (18+). With a small total capacity of only 16 beds, you will be part of an intimate, close-knit community of peers from various backgrounds, all working toward recovery. Most of our clients use private insurance to cover their stay.

Family involvement is a crucial part of recovery. We offer family education and therapy. On-site family visitation is permitted on Sundays for pre-approved family members, who must also attend the family education group to participate.

We provide robust discharge planning and a full continuum of care for aftercare. Clients can step down to our Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs. We also have an "Aftercare & Relapse Prevention" program to ensure ongoing support after treatment completion. We do not offer sober living housing.

Inpatient treatment requires patients to live at the facility 24/7, providing a highly structured and immersive environment free from outside triggers. It's ideal for those with severe addiction or co-occurring disorders. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family life. It's suited for those with less severe addiction or as a step-down from inpatient care.
