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
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Daily individual and group therapy
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- Family involvement and education
