Addiction Treatment Options In Addison, Texas

In Addison, a wide-range of treatment options means you can get personalized addiction treatment that meets your specific needs. You can find inpatient treatment, outpatient care, medication-assisted treatment, and detox programs close to home.

Regard Healthcare Texas in Scurry is one of these recovery options, offering a range of treatment choices not far from Addison.

Detox Programs

Withdrawal is the first step on the road to recovery, and it comes with intense side effects and strong cravings. Professional detox programs provide medical care during this challenging time. This is often the first step in addiction treatment, and detox protects against early relapse.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment

After detox, many patients move to an inpatient treatment center where they can focus all of their time and energy on treatment. Inpatient or residential rehab gives you 24-hour supervision and support. You get the opportunity to explore a range of treatment options each day.

Outpatient Drug Rehab

If you need the freedom to continue working or need to care for your family while in rehab, outpatient care provides that freedom.

With outpatient treatment, you travel to the treatment center for therapy and then return home. Outpatient care works best for those with strong home support and reliable transportation.

Medication-Assisted Treatment in Addison

If you struggle with opioid or alcohol use disorder, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can provide relief. Using prescription medications combined with therapy, MAT programs help lessen the effect of withdrawal or make your cravings less intense.

You may find MAT as part of your larger treatment program or as a stand-alone care option.

Aftercare Planning And Services

When addiction treatment is over and you re-enter daily life, you’ll need continued support to protect yourself against relapse.

Aftercare programs provide this support, and the best treatment centers will have a plan in place to help their alumni access peer support groups, sober-living homes, or community-based programming.

How To Pay For Alcohol Or Drug Rehab

If you have health insurance, your insurance provider will offer help to pay for alcohol or drug rehab, so reach out to them to see what’s covered. Also reach out to the treatment center to make sure they accept your particular plan.

Virtual Care Is Available With Regard Healthcare

Virtual care is possible with Regard Healthcare, our new virtual care platform that gives you access to treatment from the comfort of your home through a secure video connection.

Whether you’re unable to travel to your addiction treatment center or need to touch base between meetings, virtual care is available and can help.
