Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers in Texas

An outpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment center offers all the same treatments as inpatient rehab but allows patients to remain at home, living their life, taking care of family responsibilities, going to work, etc. during treatment. Patients receive medications to stop cravings and withdrawals and can meet with a therapist one-on-one as often as they want, participate in group therapy, IOP, take advantage of family therapy, and many other additional programs. At Symetria Recovery^®, patients can also see a psychiatrist and understand any dual diagnosis. (Related mental health conditions are treated here, too, including antidepressants or trauma therapy).

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) offer a supportive environment in an outpatient setting, so patients can continue living their lives while seeking recovery. Symetria Recovery’s unique outpatient programming has shown to be 80% more effective than any other rehab option.

Often, the stages of treatment are defined as the following:

1. Pre-contemplation: A stage of denial when people don’t accept the fact that they need treatment, but may go to appease their loved ones.
2. Contemplation: The individual acknowledges the need for help and is open to stopping, but may still feel resistance.
3. Preparation: A stage involving preparation for change, where support is critical and a longer-term treatment plan is created, usually, more therapy is added.
4. Action: The hardest and most stressful stage where patients actually make changes in their life and change their thought patterns to end the negative cycles of addiction.
5. Maintenance: Occurs during the final weeks or months of treatment where lifestyles have been adjusted and mental tools are working, but are still new and not yet as comfortable as drugs or alcohol were.

It costs much less here at Symetria than an inpatient treatment center. Most Symetria patients use health insurance. Each insurance policy sets its own deductible, co-insurance, and out-of-pocket rates that impact what each patient pays. For example, those who went to the hospital this year may actually pay nothing for treatment here. You’ll get answers about your specific costs before you come in.

Treatment takes as long as is needed, while most insurance companies will only cover 30 days of inpatient treatment. At Symetria, it’s different here. Most patients still want to check in nine months later while living (and improving) their lives. Patients can stay in the program as long as they want or feel they need to.

Like 34 other states, Texas does have an involuntary commitment law for the courts to force someone into alcohol or drug treatment.

At Symetria Recovery, we over several best-practice medications to treat both drug and alcohol substance use disorder (SUD).  Those medications include Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone), Methadone, Naltrexone, Buprenorphine, and others.  Our medical team determines dosing and adjusts regularly depending on how the patient is responding.  There is no ‘one-size-fits-all.’  We customize your treatment protocol for you and your specific needs.

Yes; however, drug testing here is a measure of how effectively our treatments are working. Patients are never kicked out for testing positive on a drug test. They can feel comfortable talking honestly about what’s going on until they have the support they need to maintain their recovery.

Every year, over 32,000 people in Texas receive treatment for drugs or alcohol. Heroin and alcohol were the top drugs of choice, but marijuana, amphetamines, and cocaine are also on the list. According to SAMHSA, there are over 400 registered substance use programs in Texas and more than 5,000 overdose deaths. If you’re struggling in Texas, you’re not alone, and there’s no shame in getting help!
