Longbranch Recovery Named as One of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers

Longbranch Recovery & Wellness is proud to announce its inclusion on Newsweek’s prestigious 2024 list of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers.

Best Addiction Treatment Centers List Newsweek Louisiana


The annual ranking of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers relies on several key criteria, including service quality, accreditation, and reputation. Thousands of clinical professionals, such as therapists, counselors, physicians, and addiction specialists, participated in a comprehensive survey to offer expert recommendations. Newsweek and Statista assessed quality metrics that emphasize the effectiveness of substance use disorder rehab programs. The partnership also used data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to verify accreditations and certifications. The selection committee also evaluated:

  • Peer Recommendations: Healthcare professionals—including therapists, counselors, physicians, and addiction treatment staff—shared expert recommendations through an extensive online survey.
  • Quality of Care: Participants rated programs using various quality metrics, focusing on those that most influence rehabilitation program effectiveness.
  • Accreditations: Newsweek factors facility certifications and accreditations, including Joint Commission accreditation (JACHO), into the rankings.

“We are honored to receive this national recognition,” stated Emily Meyers, CEO of Longbranch Recovery & Wellness. “This achievement truly reflects the dedication and passion of our outstanding team. Our staff consistently goes the extra mile to deliver compassionate, personalized care to those in need.
