How long-term rehab works

In long-term residential treatment, the pace is steadier. Alongside therapy and groups, you work on daily structure, employment or school readiness, and the relationships that will support you after treatment.

Texas has long-term programs in most regions, from metro treatment centers to rural ranch-style campuses, with step-down options close to home.

What to expect

• Therapy, groups and life-skills work
• Phased treatment that adds responsibility over time
• A defined length of stay with weekly progress reviews
• Insurance reviews coordinated by the program

Before you choose long-term rehab

Some long-term residential programs in Texas are faith-based. Programs that use only nonmedical methods register with HHSC instead of getting a treatment license, so check a program's status before choosing it for someone near San Antonio.

Questions to ask

• Is recovery housing available after?
• What does each phase cost?
• Is the program licensed or registered with HHSC?
