Addiction Treatment Options In Kerrville, Texas

When looking for rehab programs, keep in mind that several are available outside the county, including Regard Healthcare Texas in Scurry.

You should find a program that offers individualized treatment for addiction instead of a generalized approach. Individualized treatment plans ensure proper care based on an evaluation of your needs for recovery, and may include a combination of the following options.

Drug And Alcohol Detox

Being in a medically supervised detox program means you’ll have help and support available if you experience severe withdrawal symptoms.

This helps prevent serious complications from occurring and also lowers your risk of going back to drugs or alcohol. Detox programs are short-term programs that only last for about a week.

Kerrville Inpatient Addiction Treatment

Inpatient programs provide around-the-clock supervision and care as needed from nurses, therapists, doctors, social workers, and other professionals.

During inpatient care, you’ll have several services to help you out, including relapse prevention, behavioral therapy, and stress reduction training. Inpatient facilities usually have amenities available as well, such as walking trails or a fitness center.

Outpatient Drug Rehab

Being in an outpatient program for addiction recovery means you’ll be able to work or do other regular activities as needed.

You won’t stay at a facility, but you’ll be expected to visit one for behavioral therapy sessions as often as needed. Outpatient services might include individual therapy, group therapy, or both.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment provides care for alcohol or opioid alcohol use disorders. These programs address the specific problems associated with these addictions through the use of FDA-approved medication and therapy.

Aftercare Planning And Services

Having access to aftercare planning means you’ll receive continuing support after you’re done with a rehab program.

Aftercare services differ at treatment facilities and might include recovery housing, 12-step groups, or employment assistance. These services, which are often available for many weeks or months after rehab, can help you stay sober.

How To Pay For Alcohol Or Drug Rehab

Using a private health insurance plan for rehab is common, but the amount of coverage included varies. You should get in touch with the addiction treatment center and your insurance provider to find out how much coverage your plan includes and which services you might be eligible for.

Virtual Care Is Available With Regard Healthcare
