Reviews
I can truly say Longbranch/Abita has changed my life. This is a very special place if you are willing to surrender and your life is unmanageable. I was so sick upon arrival and the entire medical and residential staff embraced me. After my physical state improved, I dove head first into the program of recovery. If you are seeking a foundation for a life of sobriety, it's here if you keep an open mind, put in the work, remain humble, and engage with Counselors you will see a solution within the program of AA. The facility is beautiful, comfortable, and you will be well fed. If you feel hopeless and are willing to heal in body, mind, and spirit, contact this facility. I am forever grateful to be an Alumni!
Miracles happen here. I am one of them. If your struggling with addiction and are afforded the opportunity to come here you will not be disappointed. The counselors, RA's, and nurses are all top notch and will give you every resource you need to change your life. All you need to do is show up with an open mind and be willing to accept what life brings your way. If your powerless over your addiction and your life has become unmanageable this is where your sobriety begins, and grows into principles you learn to practice everyday to maintain a healthy lifestyle not only for yourself but also the people around you.
My experience at Long branch recovery center was a very amazing experience. The staff for the most part was very helpful, caring, thoughtful, outgoing, and overall pretty amazing. Listen, we all know wellness and recovery can be stressful, challenging, difficult and overwhelming, and we all know nothing is perfect and things are not going to always go the way we want them. But through prayer, being patient, persevering and trusting the process and the wonderful staff you can truly leave that place with an amazing experience. I'm currently continuing my career at the New Orleans VA but in closing I would get on national TV and promote this wonderful company. For any thinking of coming to experience this wonderful experience remember it's not a vacation just to get away if you truly want to experience life again in a positive way just remember what you put in to this is what you're going to get out. So really work hard be on time for every meeting, don' t miss any meetings be engaged and enjoy your counseling session. Oh and the YOGA and acupuncture are a game changer. Good luck to all and Peace be with you.
This place literally saved my life. 35 days ago I thought there wasn't an answer. But they showed me the way. I see a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train. The staff is amazing. I'm so grateful for everyone who helped me along my recovery. Also.....the food is awesome!
The holistic approach to recovery here at long branch is very extensive and effective for anyone struggling with substance abuse and addiction issues . Staff here is very professional and takes great personal interest in the wellbeing and recovery of all patients . This place is also a great opportunity for both veterans , active duty military members and civilians.
