About Whispering Oaks Lodge

Our plan when we began mapping out the physical space and the inner workings of our programs was to bring forward a more relaxed environment that would foster our client’s desire to get better. Too often we have seen individuals that need and want help being boxed into rigid environments with stressful approaches to treatment that end up pushing them further away from overcoming their substance use disorder. Whispering Oaks Lodge provides an alternative approach that we believe will change lives for the better.

By design, Whispering Oaks Lodge is a destination for relaxation and wellness; a true southern oasis, spanning 18 acres, nestled among beautiful oak trees and a glistening, 3-acre fishing pond stocked with bass, bream, catfish, and white perch. From the porch swings to the stables, every detail breathes good ol’ southern hospitality. And of course, it wouldn’t be Louisiana without authentic Cajun cuisine.

What Our Patients Say About Us

Great

To be honest it was great! I learned so much there as an adult it was crazy. Mr Dwayne and Mr Darren knows there stuff trust me by far. And I can't say enough for Mr Mark who you will meet at the door, solid dude. My counselors and associates whom I love and were the rock of my treatment, and the the medical staff and the after hours people, and the food awesome!!! Plus the fact you can fish, hit golf balls on the range, watch movies, have your phone as long you were not in meetings. Packed kitchen at all times, and the beloved Louie the dog! But it was more than that it was the way you were treated by everyone in a natured environment and that reciprocated through the people you were in treatment with. Big fan. Recommend it to anyone who is looking for the right help.

Thankful

I want to thank the counselors and staff for tolerating the attitude and still delivering a sound and useful message toward my recovery, as patients we do not enter this facility with good judgment and reasoning. Thank you for your patience! I have been sober for 3 years

This facility is unparalleled. It is leading the way in individual recovery in a group setting. The staff is extremely professional and truly wants the best for their clients. The experience they have is what sets this facility apart. Every detail has been carefully thought out and that shows. The nurses and techs make everyone feel welcome and take care of you around the clock. The website doesn't do justice to the overall experience at WOL. There is no place around that provides such a unique recovery experience in such an amazing facility with the best staff available. I recommend this place to ALL humans beings......you will come out a human DOER!! THANK YOU WHISPERING OAKS

The atmosphere of the facility is inviting and relaxing. The clinical staff is very experienced in dealing with severe cases of alcohol and drug addiction. I would like to thank the staff at Whispering Oaks Lodge for helping gain my life back and I am eternally grateful to this place.
