Documented provider history

A July 1995 Louisiana Legislative Auditor report lists Jeff Davis Chemical Health among the fiscal-year 1994 contracted facilities in the Lake Charles region. The entry specifically identifies intensive outpatient work. SAMHSA’s 1996 directory independently places the organization in Jennings at North Cutting Street.

The organization also appears in Louisiana’s FY2011 substance abuse block grant application, in a table concerning an earlier federal reporting period. These references establish a historical treatment-provider identity. They do not make the corporation interchangeable with a later parish clinic or the regional human services authority.

Education and family support

The historical local referral record describes assessment, treatment and referrals for people experiencing alcohol or drug dependence. It also describes support for families helping someone close to them and access to educational materials about substance use.

Community awareness programmes extended to schools, businesses, professional groups and other organizations. This broad educational role complements the outpatient services recorded in public documents. The available material does not establish a current website, present appointment arrangements or a successor; historical fees and contact details are therefore not offered as current service information.
