In this episode of the Addiction Recovery Podcast, hosts Ronnie LeDuff and Michael Oakley welcome Ryan Felder, the Administrator of Rayville Recovery in Rayville, Louisiana.

Ryan brings years of experience in the substance abuse field and holds multiple credentials including RAC, ICADC, CCGC, CCS, and SAP, making him a respected leader in addiction treatment and recovery services. His work at Rayville Recovery focuses on helping individuals access affordable dual-diagnosis residential treatment, detox services, and long-term recovery support.

In this conversation, Ryan shares what it takes to lead a treatment center that serves people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. He talks about the importance of structure, accountability, and creating an environment where people can truly begin healing—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

Ronnie, Michael, and Ryan also dive into the challenges families face when seeking treatment, how discharge planning and aftercare impact long-term success, and why recovery must be built on more than just detox—it requires connection, support, and purpose. Rayville Recovery emphasizes medically monitored detox, inpatient rehabilitation, and strong discharge planning to help clients move into sober living and continued care.
