A residential treatment center is a licensed, structured place to recover. Texas rules describe residential treatment as round-the-clock clinical care in a structured residential setting, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission licenses each program.
Most programs combine evidence-based therapy, medical oversight and peer support, then help you plan aftercare before you leave.
What to expect
- Help arranging care after you leave
- Peer support and 12-step or non-12-step options
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and motivational interviewing
- 24-hour staff and a structured, substance-free setting
