What residential drug rehab involves

In a residential drug rehab program you sleep, eat and attend treatment in the same place. A clinical team builds a plan around the substances you use, your health and any mental health needs, then adjusts it week by week.

Most residential programs in Texas follow detox with therapy-heavy days: cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma work, family sessions and relapse prevention, plus time to rest and rebuild routines.

What to expect

• A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
• Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
• A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
• Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living

What Texas rules mean for residential drug rehab

In Texas, residential programs are licensed by the Health and Human Services Commission. The most intensive level must average at least 30 hours of services per client each week, with at least 10 hours of counseling, and a counselor can carry no more than 10 clients. That structure is what separates a residential drug program from a weekly outpatient group.

Questions to ask

• When does discharge planning start?
• How many individual counseling hours are there each week?
• Is the program licensed for intensive or supportive residential care?
