Overton Brook VAMC is a licensed detox provider in Shreveport, LA, listed in the SAMHSA treatment directory. Its team manages alcohol withdrawal, including the delirium tremens that can peak in the first two to four days. Benzodiazepine detox here is handled on a gradual, structured taper to prevent seizures rather than stopping abruptly. For opioid dependence it provides medically supervised detox, and it can pair that with medication to ease withdrawal. Buprenorphine (Suboxone) is offered to reduce opioid withdrawal and lower relapse and overdose risk. Stimulant detox focuses on rest, nutrition, and mental health support through the acute crash. Detox is delivered in a 24 hour residential setting with staff on site around the clock. The facility reports accepting Medicaid. Private health insurance is accepted. It serves young adults, adults, seniors.
