January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month 💜

This month serves as a time to uplift individuals, families, and communities impacted by addiction and to highlight the hope, healing, and recovery that are absolutely possible.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month is about:
⭐️ Support for those living with substance use
⭐️ Compassion for families walking alongside a loved one
⭐️ Awareness to reduce stigma and promote understanding
⭐️ Empowerment to help our community access the care it deserves

Addiction impacts lives in every parish we serve, but recovery does too. That’s why AAHSD provides comprehensive, person-centered Addictive Disorders Services, including:
⚜ Outpatient treatment & counseling
⚜ Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
⚜ Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
⚜ Crisis support & clinical assessments
⚜ Recovery support services
⚜ Prevention services, education, & referrals
⚜ Coordinated care for co-occurring mental health needs

Whether you or someone you love is ready for help or simply seeking more information, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

📍 Serving Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin & Vermilion Parishes

Let’s start the year with hope. Let’s start it together.

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” ✨ - Ralph Waldo Emerson

As we welcome the first day of a brand new year, Acadiana Area Human Services District reflects with gratitude and hope. A new year is more than a date on the calendar. It’s an invitation to begin again, to heal, to grow, and to believe in what’s possible.

To our clients, families, partners, and community: thank you for trusting us, walking alongside us, and showing resilience even in life’s hardest moments. Every step forward matters, and every person deserves compassion, dignity, and support.

As we step into this new year together, we remain committed to strengthening behavioral health, developmental disability services, and community connection across Acadiana. May this year bring renewed hope, kindness toward ourselves and others, and the courage to keep moving forward... one day at a time.

Happy New Year from all of us at Acadiana Area Human Services District. ❤⚜🎆

The holiday season brings joy for many, but it can also be an incredibly difficult time for some in our military and veteran community.
Some are facing their first holiday without a loved one.
Some are deployed or have a loved one deployed.
Others may be feeling the weight of loneliness, stress, or grief.

As part of the Governor’s Challenge to Prevent Su***de Among Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families, we are sharing this updated Louisiana SMVF Resource Card to ensure every service member, veteran, and family member knows that support is here — 24/7.

Please save and share this resource card. You never know who might need it today.

If you or someone you know needs help:
📞 Dial 988, then Press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line
📱 Call 225-219-5000 for LDVA assistance
🌐 Scan the QR code or visit: https://linktr.ee/LaGovernorsChallenge

This holiday season, let’s check on one another, lift up those who may be struggling, and remind our military and veteran families that they are not alone — not during the holidays, and not ever.
