What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Southern Addiction Medicine Services

Southern Addiction Medicine Services is a substance use treatment operated by Private for-profit organization in Covington, Louisiana. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (outpatient, detox, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 5001 Highway 190 East Service Road, Suite D-5, Covington, LA 70433.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Detoxification, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Telehealth), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 8 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 2 specific population groups (Adults, Young adults) with 0 languages of care. Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms no payment channels confirmed in the SAMHSA record, plus 1 specific payment method enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment).

Southern Addiction Medicine Services's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (23) than the typical Louisiana facility (state median: 34, out of 204 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA.
