Cedar Crest includes a continuum of services that range from outpatient to inpatient care. They use innovative options that cater to the specific needs of the individuals in treatment. The programs consist of a multidisciplinary team, including doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists.
The team works together to give you an optimal care plan that starts when you begin treatment. You’ll receive services in a safe, supportive environment so that you can focus on recovery. They can manage medication and provide therapy to prevent relapse. Likewise, the 12 Step addiction program will help you become stable while obtaining the skills and coping strategies needed to become happier and better adjusted. They accept many private health insurance plans, like Cigna and Aetna, and will give you free insurance verification when you contact them for more information.
Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Inpatient rehab programs are geared toward clients in early recovery. They also provide intensive support for clients in crisis and those at an increased relapse risk. Clients receive housing and meals while in inpatient care, allowing them to focus solely on their recovery. Most programs prioritize addiction counseling but may draw on various psychotherapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, RBT, trauma therapy, and motivational interviewing. Life skills training and holistic therapies are also common in inpatient care.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.
24-hour clinical care in Texas provides a safe environment for medical detox. This setting is crucial to provide medical care during withdrawal. Certain withdrawal symptoms can cause life-threatening conditions, but patients in a supervised clinical setting have treatment readily available to address any symptoms before they become severe. Treatment can also be provided for co-occurring physical and mental health issues.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

There are a number of staff that clearly enjoy their power over the residents way too much. Those staff are supported by a chorus of other staff who either don’t believe or don’t care about any complaints. That staff is overseen by administration that is too worried abo ...
I went for residential treatment and lived there for a month. They are disorganized and they constantly switched psychiatrists for me. The morning of the day I was discharged I was still on scrubs which meant I wasn’t allowed of wear my normal clothes. I felt like they jus ...
Staff was ok with the exception of one woman, Rhoni (Rony? Not sure of spelling), who I believe was some type of aid. She was rude and indifferent. Getting through to talk to counselor, nurse, etc. was a huge pain. Constantly being passed from one person to another when tryi ...
Worst place I have ever been. I see no point honestly in posting this since I see the same response from "owner" is a blanket answer, so no one is truly reading these and caring enough to do anything about it. There is literally zero therapy and nothing to do. I took cold showers the whole time despite telling me we had no hot water. Activity room was so cold it was unbearable so we were basically stuck in our rooms all day and there was no activities in said "activity room" but some coloring pages and cards. It felt more like i was in prison between the "beacon" aka ankle monitor and "where's my straight line" from staff on the way to meals as if we were 5. During my time I was having chest pain and have had past heart attack. They did nothing for 4 hours until finally calling 911. Nurse Chris is an absolute nightmare, creeper. He listened in on my phone call with my attorney. He illegally violated my rights to client/ attorney privilege privacy by listening in telling me to hurry up and trying to take the phone also allowing another patient to stand next to me mocking me for crying. He also was confronted by another patient for going into her room when she was alone and taking a shower like a pervert when he had zero reason to be in there as the nurses only went in if you called for them or they would just call you to come out. My roommate was having severe abdomen pain with very low blood pressure. She was told to drink water and prop her legs up. One girl was attacked by two male patients and knocked down on her first day there. There were several men fighting, yet continued to be allowed to stay amongst the rest of us. I have never felt so unsafe in my life. One male patient kept wandering to the women's side lurking in doorways and they laughed about it. Patients including myself would go to the desk to ask a question or ask for something they needed and staff would literally act like you weren't even standing there. You'd ask for something and 90% time there was no follow through. I asked to see the therapist and doctor several days in a row. Almost every day I asked. I saw my doctor once in the 10 days there and a therapist for about 5 minutes. The rooms are disgusting and depressing. Beds are hard as rocks and the pillows are about a 12" square of nothing. I heard daily patients complaining about not getting their needs met. They also had my gabapentin that I take for neuropathy pain that I've been on for 15 years wrong. They were giving me wrong dose for days and I was bed ridden in so much pain and anxiety. All they had to do was make a 2 minute phone call. it took 4 days for them to do that before they got it right. Then my last 2 days, they started reducing again and had to yell at them to call the pharmacy two more times. Dr. Reggie the one time I saw him and explained all that I have said above knows this is going on and blamed on state funding which may be true but gives employees no right to treat patients like prisoners. This is not a place of therapy or any kind of help whatsoever. If the owner actually reads this, as I said, it is no threat that I plan to sue, it is a fact and have already spoken with an attorney. This place needs shut down. Chris needs fired as well as several other. All day and night they come scan your "ankle monitor" like every ten minutes and during the night they throw open your door loudly and shut it loudly. Zero respect for our sleeping needs. I didn't sleep but one night which was my final night and when asked for something to help my anxiety which was through the roof and what they were giving me was not working, the doctor denied anything. If anyone else on here reads this and would like to be part of a group lawsuit, I think this is the only way to shut them down or make any positive places. It has potential as there are some caring staff like Gloria who was amazing and most all except Chris of the male staff were very sweet.
I was a patient there in 2001 and again in 2004 the staff were rude extremely cruel. There was at least one suicide on the campus while I was there the first time and the therapist I was saying turned out not to even have real credentials and was fired for falsifying his records.
I was here February 2025 and my stay was terrible n they also forced me to take a shot without my consent this a terrible n horrible place for a kid adult or even a grandparent đź’ŻI did not like my stay was very over medicated n I was very upset with the price
They ignored my calls for 5 days then called CPS on me when I removed my daughter because they wouldn’t communicate with me. I called 13 times. Only 4 were answered and 3 of those the staff member told me they couldn’t help me and couldn’t transfer me to the person that could. They said they would get a message to that person to call me. They couldn’t tell me anything about my daughter. They give you a packet promising a call within 72 hours to work with you to develop your child’s treatment plan. I never received that call. When I FINALLY got ahold of the therapist at day 5 she said she was going to call me later that day to discuss my daughter’s discharge plan. I told her at this point I don’t trust anything going on there. If no one can tell me what treatment my child is getting and how she’s doing no one there cares. I asked the provider to discharge her now since they already had a discharge plan for 48 hours later. They told me I could come get her AMA. An hour after I got home the police showed up at my door to do a welfare check. My daughter was a voluntary admit for depression. The staff here did nothing for her but are 3 medications that made her nauseous and tired. They refused to follow their own policies for communication and the rooms we had access to were filthy. If you care about your child don’t send them here. If you just want a break from your kid with zero communication and don’t care if they actually get any real help this is probably the place for you.
