Louisiana Agency Links Addiction Care, Maternal Health and Recovery
MONROE – November 10, 2026 -- Pregnant and parenting women in Northeast Louisiana can call the Northeast Delta Human Services Authority (NEDHSA) to start an assessment for substance use treatment, recovery support and referrals to maternal healthcare.
NEDHSA's Maternal Health Initiative links treatment with healthcare and recovery
The initiative brings together clinical treatment, healthcare coordination, recovery resources and community support. Instead of handling substance use, mental health and maternal healthcare separately, it addresses them together. Services include behavioral health screening and assessment, outpatient substance use treatment, case management, recovery support, and referrals to maternal and primary healthcare.
