Substance Recovery Services

Family Focused Recovery

Family Focused Recovery is Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana’s (VOASELA) evidence-based opioid and substance use disorder treatment and recovery model for pregnant and parenting women and their children. VOASELA’s trauma-informed services keep families together in residential treatment* and partner with women in the community on their recovery journey.  VOASELA’s holistic and culturally responsive program treats women’s chemical dependency, breaks the cycle of addiction, reunites families, and promotes the birth of healthy, drug-free babies.



*Our Residential Center for Families is scheduled to open Summer of 2025.
