East Jefferson General Hospital/Lakeside Hospitals
For over 50 years, East Jefferson General Hospital has been deeply rooted in Metairie. Treating our community like family is the only way we know.

Frequently recognized with national accolades, we’re proud to be East Jefferson Parish’s go-to hospital for health and wellness.
Lakeside Hospital is easy to find, conveniently located just off I-10 at the Causeway Parkway exit. We serve patients from across Jefferson Parish and beyond, who receive care in a range of specialties including obstetrics/gynecology, orthopedics, inpatient rehabilitation, radiology, and general surgery.
These facilities are the location of the Tulane Addiction Consult Service. The consultation team responds to requests for addiction consultations from the primary care and specialty physicians providing hospital care to their patients. The addiction consult team then assists with care for addiction while hospitalized and in the process of accessing continuous care following discharge. Dr. Lee Michals is the faculty for the consultation service.

Behavioral Health Group (BHG)
BHG is a national organization with sites across the nation. The treatment is as required by law and includes daily administration of methadone or buprenorphine or dispensing or prescription of these medications for those who have succeeded with daily attendance, as well as engagement with counseling therapy. Medical care is provided by physicians with both national and regional leadership and supervision as well as Advanced Practice Nurses, Physician Assistants, and staff credentialled in nursing and medical assistance. Counseling care is provided by doctorate and master’s level therapists. Our faculty, Dr. George Singletary, is the regional medical director and our fellows train at the Downtown Clinic at 2235 Poydras St. in New Orleans.
Continuity Clinic
The continuity clinic is an opportunity to establish ongoing relationships with patients that continue for the entire year of training. The clinic is housed in the Tulane Behavioral Health Clinic in Metairie. Fellows assume the patient load of graduating trainees and follow those patients for the entire year, as well as any new patients that come into the fellows' practice. This longitudinal effort is conducted with supervision that supports and encourages independent practice and provides feedback on each patient encounter. Each fellow has 1/2-day clinic on the same day of the week at the same time for the academic year. The goal is to acquire skills necessary to the longitudinal care of addiction.
