O’Brien House was established in 1971 to serve adult recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. The center was named for Paul S. “Pat” O’Brien, who spent 53 years of his life working with alcoholics and educating the public about the disease of alcoholism. Through the years, O’Brien House has drawn the appreciation and support of the Baton Rouge community.

Our Vision...
As the Greater Baton Rouge area continues to grow, O’Brien House plans to expand and help meet the ever growing demands of the population we serve. We are always looking for new and better ways to provide the treatment and environment most conducive to recovery.
We are currently developing a new Social Enterprise to provide additional funds for the organization, as well as employment opportunities for our clients. Our newly developed Intensive Outpatient Program is being offered to area businesses to reduce workforce turnover due to substance abuse. Community partnerships are allowing us to offer additional services to our clients, as well as providing our services to other agencies. As we continue to expand, we are confident that O’Brien House will be “saving lives and families from alcoholism and drug abuse” far into the future!
