Rapides Drug Court Treatment

Rapides Drug Court Treatment, located in Alexandria, Louisiana, is a state-funded outpatient program designed for people navigating the court system, including those referred through DUI or other court-ordered pathways. It is one of a small number of programs in the area set up specifically to serve this population. Treatment is offered at the intensive outpatient level, allowing participants to attend structured sessions while continuing to live at home or in the community.

The program takes a trauma-informed approach and addresses PTSD and other trauma-related concerns, incorporating experiential therapy alongside more traditional methods. Services are provided in English, and smoking is permitted on-site. As a state-funded resource, it offers a no-cost option for individuals who might not otherwise have access to treatment while meeting court requirements.
