A Continuum of Long-Term Recovery
Palmetto Center offers a structured path to recovery designed to build a strong foundation for sobriety. From medically supervised detox to their cornerstone 90-day residential program and flexible outpatient services, each level of care is designed to meet clients where they are and guide them toward a new way of life.
Program Length: Varies by individual need
The first step for many, Palmetto's detox program provides 24/7 medical supervision from doctors and nurses to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably, preparing clients for a smooth transition into residential care.
Typical Stay: 28-90 Days
The core of the Palmetto experience is its long-term residential program. Clients live on-site in shared cabins, engaging in a structured schedule of 12-Step work, therapy, and community activities. This extended timeframe allows for deep healing and the development of robust recovery skills.
Flexible aftercare option
IOP serves as a vital step-down level of care, providing ongoing therapeutic support as clients transition back to their daily lives. Days not used in the 90-day residential program can often be applied toward IOP services, ensuring a seamless continuum of care.
This dedicated track is designed for individuals in licensed professions such as physicians, pharmacists, attorneys, and pilots. It addresses the unique challenges and pressures they face, providing tailored support to help them navigate recovery while protecting their careers.
Environment & Accommodations
Palmetto Center is set on a secluded 8.5-acre wooded campus in Rayville, LA, offering a peaceful retreat from the outside world. The environment is designed to foster community and focus. It is an open, unlocked campus where clients live in rustic, shared cabins, creating a strong sense of peer support and accountability. This communal living is a core part of the therapeutic experience.
Clients live in shared cabins with 8-12 residents per cabin, promoting a tight-knit community atmosphere.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are shared among cabin mates. Private rooms are not available as part of the community model.
The expansive grounds include a fitness center, walking trail, and meditation garden for physical and spiritual wellness.

Suboxone is not permitted for long-term maintenance. Clients currently on Suboxone will be medically detoxed from it upon admission.

Personal cell phones and laptops are not allowed. A landline is available, and counselors may approve limited use (e.g., 30 mins/day).
Visits may be approved by a counselor after the first two weeks of treatment. Family involvement primarily occurs through the Family Program.
Clients are responsible for cooking their own meals. Desired food items, including dietary options like vegetarian, can be added to the cabin's grocery list.
