Residential / inpatientDual diagnosisAbout residential drug rehab
Residential drug treatment is the step between detox and returning home. It gives you a safe, drug-free place to stabilize while you learn what drives your use and how to manage cravings without it.
Programs differ in length, therapies and amenities, so it helps to ask how a program handles medications, mental health care and aftercare before you commit.
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
- Is the program licensed for intensive or supportive residential care?
- How does it treat my specific drug, including medications for opioid use disorder?
- When does discharge planning start?
- How many individual counseling hours are there each week?
