Residential addiction treatment covers live-in programs for drug and alcohol addiction, often alongside mental health care. You stay at the facility for weeks or months, with a full schedule of therapy and support and staff available at all hours.
It suits people who have not been able to stop with outpatient care, whose home environment makes recovery harder, or who simply need a reset away from daily pressures.
What to expect
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- Family involvement and education
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Daily individual and group therapy

Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover residential addiction treatment in Texas?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care. Texas law requires group plans to cover chemical dependency treatment on terms no less favorable than physical illness, and state and federal parity rules apply. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
What does a day in residential treatment look like?
A typical day includes morning check-ins, individual and group therapy, educational sessions, meals, exercise or recreation and evening support groups, with staff on site 24 hours.
How does Texas license residential treatment?
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission licenses chemical dependency treatment facilities under Health and Safety Code Chapter 464, with rules in 26 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 564. You can check a license through HHSC's online licensing system or its directory of licensed facilities.
