The St. Landry Parish Council has created a series of hoops through which anyone wishing to open a mental health center, general hospital, nursing home, halfway house, detox center, forensic facility and such will have to jump in order to be licensed to operate.
Drafting of the ordinance for the permitting procedure began earlier this summer after residents of a high-end residential area near Sunset learned their neighborhood was the proposed target site of Acadiana Addiction Center.
