River Oaks Hospital The New Orleans Institute

The New Orleans Institute at River Oaks Hospital specializes in treating individuals with trauma-based mental disorders, compulsive behavior disorders, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). Their comprehensive inpatient programs offer a supportive environment where patients receive individualized care from a multidisciplinary team with over 25 years of experience. Treatment modalities include individual and group therapies, trauma resolution, and relapse prevention strategies, all aimed at stabilizing symptoms and promoting long-term recovery. The institute serves adults, including active-duty military members and their families, who have not found success with outpatient or standard inpatient programs. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by these populations, the institute provides specialized care tailored to their specific needs. The treatment team comprises psychiatrists, medical doctors, psychologists, social workers, dietitians, psychiatric nurses, counselors, and expressive therapists, all working collaboratively to address complex trauma-related symptoms such as depression, anxiety, dissociation, and self-injury.
