Drug And Alcohol Detox Programs in Bedford, Texas

Detox helps you overcome physical withdrawal symptoms that result from drug or alcohol dependency. Medical monitoring in detox programs keeps you as comfortable and safe as possible. You can complete a detox program in an inpatient or an outpatient setting.

Bedford Inpatient Care

Also called residential rehab, inpatient treatment programs provide a drug and alcohol-free environment and 24-hour support and help. Inpatient treatment includes evidence-based counseling and other activities that support recovery and sobriety.

Some inpatient programs include experiences that build confidence and encourage self-discovery. Residential treatment programs can be gender-specific and can also include help for co-occurring mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

Outpatient Drug Rehab in Bedford

Outpatient programs are community-based and may include a combination of group and individual counseling and substance use disorder education. If you have a sober and secure living environment, you may benefit from an outpatient treatment program.

Most outpatient programs last between 10 and 16 weeks. Outpatient programs are more or less intensive depending on how many times they meet each week, and how long each meeting lasts.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can take place on its own as an outpatient program, or it can be part of inpatient treatment.

MAT uses FDA-approved medications to help ease cravings and aid in recovery from opioid, alcohol, and tobacco use disorders. MAT programs also include counseling and peer group support. Outpatient MAT programs can last six months or longer.

Aftercare Planning And Services

Recovery from substance use disorder is lifelong. After completing an inpatient or outpatient treatment program, an aftercare plan is important to maintain your recovery.

Aftercare programs may include ongoing group and individual counseling, peer group support, and sober-living activities.

How To Pay For Alcohol Or Drug Rehab

In Texas, most drug and alcohol rehab programs are paid for by a combination of government or private insurance plans and private payment.

Some options may be available for payment plans and other alternative payment methods. It’s advisable for you to work with your treatment provider and insurance provider to determine the rehab services that will be covered.
