Treatment Landscape in Louisiana
Louisiana has a complex behavioral health landscape shaped by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and ongoing challenges with substance use in urban and rural communities. The Louisiana Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) oversees the statewide system. New Orleans and Baton Rouge have significant treatment capacity. Louisiana Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana) covers comprehensive behavioral health services.
