 CORE, Center of Recovery, is a place of help and hope for problem
gamblers and their families. CORE was conceived in 1998 with the sole
purpose of providing treatment for those whose lives have been adversely
affected by gambling. At inception, CORE was the only state funded facility
of its kind in the United States. The funding is provided by the Louisiana
Office for Addictive Disorders. CORE is a residential facility located
in the historic Highland area of Shreveport and provides 24-hour monitoring
of the residents to address complex diagnostic issues, serious relapse
factors and medical psychiatric instability. The setting, while structured,
offers family-like daily living and a home-like atmosphere for 20 male
and female residents. Handicap access is available.
Following an assessment to determine each person's individual treatment
needs the residents enter the program. The treatment includes group therapy,
individual counseling, education, financial/budget planning, recreation
therapy and introduction to the 12 Step recovery program. The treatment
team includes counselors, therapists and other health professionals.
Physicians and nurses are on call and the program has a spiritual component
to address concerns of multiple and/or cross addictions. Families are
encouraged to participate in the group sessions planned for them.
