Substance Abuse
Iberville Parish Substance Abuse Center (IPSAC) has provided assessment, prevention, education, referral, and outpatient substance abuse treatment services to individuals with problems arising from chemical abuse and addiction for over 25 years. The clinic offers outpatient virtual and in-person services to meet the needs of Iberville Parish residents age 18 and over, including group and individual therapy. The clinic offers recommendations for probation and parole agencies and referrals to appropriate detoxification and inpatient services as needed.
