Integrated Care

Our programs are here to help you realize your full potential, regardless of your ability to pay. NEDHSA recognizes that it takes an enormous amount of courage to seek help and commends you for your resiliency and spirit. We understand that the journey of recovery is an ongoing and sometimes challenging process for you, family members, and friends. Fees are charged according to a limited liability scale based on income and the number of dependents. No one is denied services because of an inability to pay.

There may be a charge for urine screens or co-payment fees as applicable. Medicare, Medicaid, private funds, and insurance payments are accepted.

Medical/Primary Care Services

Health is influenced by many factors: genetics, behavior, environment, medical and social factors. All of which are interconnected. The idea behind medical/primary care is to provide integrated “health care” options that no longer bring to mind “sick care” practices. On the health end of the spectrum, the focus is on prevention and being proactive in doing things to promote and support health. On the “sick care” end, the focus is on addressing the crisis and being reactive to the disease or illness.

NEDHSA services strive to promote wellness and preventative care, thus a more “healthy lifestyle” approach that will transform our region’s population health and assist with furthering public health initiatives.

Opioid Prevention, Harm Reduction & Recovery

Northeast Delta Human Services Authority addresses the opioid crisis through a comprehensive strategy that includes prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery support, and community education across all 12 parishes of Region 8.

Our efforts include opioid misuse prevention programs, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), peer recovery support, community outreach, and connections to behavioral health and healthcare services. To reduce overdose deaths and save lives, NEDHSA distributes naloxone (Narcan) throughout the region and operates six harm reduction vending machines that provide free access to overdose prevention and health resources.

NEDHSA also supports safe medication disposal through prescription drug take-back boxes located across the region, helping prevent misuse and diversion of unused medications.

By combining prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery supports, NEDHSA is working to reduce the impact of opioid use disorder and build healthier communities throughout Northeast Louisiana.
