Addiction Treatment Options In Brownsville, Texas

During your search for a drug or alcohol rehab facility, you should check for individualized approaches to treatment. This type of approach means you’ll have a treatment plan that covers your needs for a healthy recovery.

 

Brownsville Drug And Alcohol Detox Programs

Being without drugs or alcohol in your system takes some getting used to. While you physically adjust, you can expect to have withdrawal symptoms that might range from mild to severe.

Inpatient and outpatient detox programs with medical monitoring or supervision help you cope with these symptoms and the withdrawal phase in general in a safe environment.

Inpatient

When you need help and support in order to recover from a severe addiction, an inpatient program might be right for you. These long-term and short-term programs are done in residential treatment centers that have supervision at all times.

While receiving help in different ways, such as through behavioral therapy or dual diagnosis care, you’ll have physicians, therapists, and other professionals around for support. Some inpatient facilities also provide safe and sober recreational activities and amenities.

Outpatient

When you’re trying to recover from mild addiction, you might consider outpatient care rather than inpatient treatment.

Under this kind of program, you would visit a treatment center a few times a week or more for outpatient therapy sessions. Outpatient care can range from standard care to more intensive levels of care, such as partial hospitalization programs (PHPs).

Medication-Assisted Treatment

When you choose to recover from alcohol or opioid addiction, specialized care can help lower your risk of having a relapse.

Medication-assisted treatment services and programs provide medication to help ease strong withdrawal symptoms you might experience. You can also get help through a series of behavioral therapy sessions during this type of program.

Aftercare Planning And Services

Having access to support on an ongoing basis once you’re done with a professional rehab program is important for long-term success and sobriety.

Aftercare services offer continuing support in various forms, such as peer support services, 12-step programs, sober-living housing options, and better access to community resources.

How To Pay For Alcohol Or Drug Rehab

It’s common to use private healthcare insurance for a professional rehab program. However, these plans can range from partial coverage only to full coverage.

You should contact the addiction treatment center and your insurance company for detailed information on the amount of coverage your plan includes for drug or alcohol rehab services.
