About
Oceans Behavioral Hospital Opelousas is conveniently situated near I49, alongside the St. Landry Plaza, and offers private parking for easy access. The facility specializes in intensive outpatient (IOP) programs for a range of mental health issues, including but not limited to anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, self-injury, stress, trauma, substance abuse, personality disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Their treatment modalities encompass individual counseling, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), group sessions, medication management, relapse prevention strategies, relaxation techniques, and 12-Step support. For those aged 30 and above, they provide residential treatment options and are equipped to handle age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The STAR program at Oceans Behavioral Hospital Opelousas is dedicated to supporting active-duty service members, veterans, and their families facing mental health issues, such as the stresses of combat and prolonged separations. Family members have the opportunity to engage in group therapy sessions alongside other military families dealing with similar challenges. To join the STAR program, clients must obtain a referral from the Department of Defense (DoD) or the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Oceans Behavioral Hospital is part of a network with various locations across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. While many of these centers focus on military-related and aging-related mental health issues, there is a growing emphasis on providing services for adolescents as well. Consistent with this location, numerous facilities are positioned near major thoroughfares but away from city centers, ensuring broader access to mental health care for densely populated regions.
Treatment Focus
The center specializes in addressing mental health disorders along with concurrent substance use challenges. Here, you will undergo personalized, cooperative care that tackles both aspects, promoting holistic recovery.
