Addiction treatment centerDual diagnosisHow residential addiction treatment works
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
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Daily individual and group therapy
Before you choose residential addiction treatment
Texas licenses two residential intensities. Intensive residential programs average at least 30 hours of services per client each week, while supportive residential programs provide at least 6 hours and often serve people stepping down from more intensive care. Ask programs near Mercedes which they provide.
