    How To Find & Choose Addiction Treatment In Texas

    The Texas Health & Human Services Department oversees addiction treatment in the Lone Star State. If you’re in Texas and searching for addiction treatment, there are several ways to find services, including:

    When you’re beginning the search for treatment, you may feel overwhelmed by all of the options available. Keep an eye out for these factors to help you find a rehab facility that’s best for you: 

    • individualized treatment plans: you need a treatment plan that can address the unique factors that led you to addiction, allowing you to attack your triggers in a way that contributes to long-term recovery
    • accreditation: when you choose an accredited treatment facility, you know treatment has been approved by an organization that oversees quality of care
    • continuum of care: some drug and alcohol rehab facilities keep you with the same treatment providers throughout your care, allowing you to develop trusting relationships
    • family involvement: if your family is a part of your support team, you may want to work with a treatment facility that includes family support as a part of your care plan
    • evidence-based services: these treatment methods are backed by science and proven to be effective for substance use disorder

    Texas Alcohol & Drug Treatment Programs

    Your doctor may talk with you about the level of care that makes the most sense for your needs. Many people who need treatment for addiction start with detox before moving onto an inpatient or outpatient program.

    Medical Drug & Alcohol Detoxification

    Many people fear the detoxification process. Detox can be dangerous, especially when done alone. When you go through detox with a medical treatment team, professionals will work around the clock to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible. 

    Once you complete detox, you’ll be fully ready to enter rehab with a clear mind and body, allowing you to make the most of the new techniques you learn for stress management and trigger avoidance.

    Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

    During inpatient rehab, you’ll live at the facility and have access to 24-hour care. For many people struggling with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues (dual diagnosis, checking in to residential treatment is likely the best choice. 

    Residential treatment offers the chance to bond with others who are at a similar place in their recovery, helping you to realize that you aren’t alone as you fight for your sobriety.

    Outpatient Addiction Treatment

    Not everyone can take time away from work and home life to attend inpatient treatment. Thankfully, outpatient addiction treatment can be a viable option. During outpatient treatment, you’ll travel to and from the recovery center each day. 

    Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment programs allow you to receive a similar amount of care to inpatient treatment, but without having to live at the facility.

    Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

    Medication-assisted treatment combines behavioral therapy with medication(s) like buprenorphine, Suboxone, methadone, and/or naltrexone. MAT can help to combat the changes in the body and mind caused by substance use, as well as improve treatment outcomes.

    Aftercare may consist of living at a sober-living facility, attending 12-step meetings, working through stress management techniques, and more.
