Recovery doesn't happen because someone is "strong enough." It happens because people choose to ask for help, show up even when it's difficult, and keep moving forward one day at a time.

If you're struggling today, remember this: You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to do it alone. Every new day is another opportunity to make a different choice.

Need help making the first step? Call us at (225) 256-0952 to make your first move to recovery.

At Sanctuary Recovery & Wellness, we help our clients develop the life skills needed to thrive beyond treatment, including:

Healthy communication
Stress management and coping skills
Time management and daily routines
Goal setting and problem-solving
Building healthy relationships and boundaries
Employment readiness and community resources
Relapse prevention strategies

Our goal is to help each person build a strong foundation for long-term recovery. Recovery is about creating a life worth protecting. Call us to talk to our dedicated admissions team!

Recovery is hard enough. Finding help shouldn't be.

At Sanctuary Recovery & Wellness, we believe healing starts with meeting people where they are, not where they "should" be.

That's why we provide more than just treatment. We offer a complete support system designed to remove the barriers that often stand in the way of recovery, including:

🏠 Safe, sober housing at no cost while enrolled
🚐 Transportation to treatment, recovery meetings, and appointments
👥 Group counseling
💬 Weekly individual counseling
🤝 Help connecting with community resources

You don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help. You just have to take the first step.

Whether you're seeking recovery for yourself or someone you love, our compassionate team is here to walk beside you every step of the journey.

Recovery is stronger together.

One of the biggest misconceptions about recovery is that it's something you have to do alone. The truth is, healing happens in connection.

A recovery community provides:
💙 Encouragement on the hard days.
💙 Accountability when you're feeling tempted.
💙 People who understand your journey without judgment.
💙 A place to celebrate every milestone—big or small.

Whether it's family, friends, a counselor, a sponsor, a support group, or your treatment team, surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed can make all the difference.

At Sanctuary Recovery & Wellness, we believe recovery isn't just about overcoming substance use—it's about building meaningful relationships, finding a sense of belonging, and creating a support system that lasts long after treatment ends.

No one has to walk this path alone. Together, we recover. 💚

Happy Fourth of July from your friends at Sanctuary Recovery & Wellness!

As we celebrate freedom today, we're reminded that recovery is its own kind of freedom. We have freedom to heal, grow, reconnect with loved ones, and build a life with purpose.

While holidays can bring joy, they can also present challenges for those in recovery. If today feels difficult, remember that you are not alone. Call to discuss options with our team.
&Wellness

While we are closed for the holiday, our DMs remain open. Need some support? Send us a message! We are here for you with resources, words of hope, and understanding.

Sanctuary Recovery & Wellness facility will be closed Friday, July 3 to allow our staff and clients the ability to celebrate Independence Day. We want to wish the community a safe and sober holiday! 🇺🇸

Meet Our Clinical Director: Sheetal Leverett

Behind every great team is a leader who inspires, encourages, and truly cares—and that's exactly who Sheetal is. Originally from India, Sheetal earned her Master of Social Work and began her career supporting survivors of domestic violence. After moving to the United States, she devoted her time to raising her twin daughters and son while sharing her artistic talents as a henna artist.

Inspired by the memory of her late half-brother, whose battle with alcoholism deeply impacted her family, Sheetal felt called to help others find hope in recovery. She became a Counselor in Training and dedicated herself to serving individuals on their recovery journey.

While balancing family life (including her beloved pit bull, Brieda 🐾), Sheetal continued her own education, earning a Master of Health Administration degree—a reflection of her incredible determination, compassion, and tireless work ethic.

Today, Sheetal is so much more than our Clinical Director. She is a mentor, an advocate, and a driving force behind our mission. She leads our clinical team, helps guide our marketing efforts, and has built meaningful relationships throughout the Baton Rouge recovery community.

Whether she's working evenings and weekends to support our clients and staff or brightening the office with homemade Indian desserts, Sheetal leads with heart, humility, and unwavering dedication.

We are incredibly grateful to have her as part of the Sanctuary family. ❤️

Please join us in thanking Sheetal for the compassion, leadership, and commitment she brings to our team and to every life she touches.
