Northlake Behavioral Healthcare System takes pride in successfully serving our community. As the leader in addiction and mental health care, we are at the forefront of treatments and therapies that provide meaningful results: helping patients lead the life they were meant to and deserve.

Nestled in a wooded retreat on the north side of Lake Pontchartrain, we are just east of the causeway and 45 minutes from New Orleans. We provide long and short-term behavioral health care to adults and adolescents, and acute detox and substance abuse care.
