Alcohol And Drug Rehab Centers In Texas

There are many treatment centers in the state of Texas. When seeking treatment, it is important to explore all available options, whether that be nearby or out of state.

Should I Travel For Rehab?

Many people travel for drug rehab because it allows them to focus on getting well without the distractions of home. Distancing yourself from people and places connected to past drug use reduces the chances of relapse. Those living in large cities like Houston often choose to get treatment in a quieter region or even out of state. Travel also benefits those living in remote parts of Texas. Treatment, such as residential treatment that includes medical detox, isn’t available in some parts of the state. The cost of travel is often a fraction of treatment costs, and the long-term benefits make it worth it.

Texas Drug Rehab Services

The state of Texas provides funding to programs that help addicted people. The Texas Health And Human Services (THHS) department offers a service to citizens of Texas who are interested in seeking treatment for an addiction. This service, called Outreach, Screening, Assessment, and Referral (OSAR), acts as a starting point for finding treatment programs within the state of Texas.

There are need-based addiction treatment services for Texas residents who are unable to pay for rehab.

TTHS works with contracted treatment providers to offer funded substance use services to those in need. These programs may include:

  • Detoxification
  • Intensive Residential Services
  • Outpatient rehab
  • Supportive services 
  • Medication-assisted treatment 
  • Co-occurring psychiatric treatment 
  • Gender specific treatment 

Addiction services may be limited by availability. Some individuals may get higher priority for treatment. The groups with higher priority are required to be admitted to treatment within a certain amount of time. These groups and their admittance times include: 

  • Pregnant women who inject drugs must be admitted within 48 hours. 
  • Pregnant women using other substances must be admitted within 48 hours.
  • Men and women who inject drugs must be admitted within 14 days. 
  • Individuals who have been evaluated as having a high risk for overdose must be admitted within 72 hours.
  • Those who have been referred by the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) must be admitted within 72 hours. 

There are also services reserved for Texans aged 13-17, since the state recognizes that addicted teens require special treatment. Texans in this age group are eligible for treatment if they have been diagnosed with an SUD and if they meet the financial eligibility requirements. These programs are aimed at teaching logical thinking, decision making, recreational choices, interactions with others, living with life’s challenges.

Texas Drug Courts

Many people struggling with addiction, especially to illicit substances, often find their way into the criminal justice system. Because substance abuse affects a person’s judgement, those struggling with an SUD are more likely to reoffend when they are released from jail or prison.

To reduce the rates of recidivism among nonviolent offenders, the state of Texas established drug courts specifically to hear cases involving drug users.

Drug courts offer nonviolent offenders a chance to get help for their addiction.

After hearing their case, the judge determines whether the addicted person is likely to respond to treatment. Those who work through the drug court system are monitored by the court, receiving mandatory drug tests and multiple treatment sessions every week.

A study done by the National Institute of Justice showed that drug courts in the US can reduce recidivism by 35 to 40%. Additionally, the same institute concluded that drug courts resulted in $6,774 of public savings per participant over a 10 year period.
