About Gulf Coast Center

The inpatient treatment program offered at Gulf Coast Center is operational for 30 days and has been created for people without insurance or the ability to pay for substance abuse services. Those in the Galveston and Brazoria counties can capitalize on this and should expect services to be delivered through subcontracted residential providers.

Those actively working toward long-term recovery and sobriety can enroll in this center’s comprehensive outpatient program. The program provides individualized treatment programs comprising individual and group counseling that reflect patients’ needs. Those enrolled should expect recovery services to address relapse prevention, relationship issues, mental health concerns, and sober network building.

Women 18 and older can receive specialized female substance use services at Gulf Coast Center. These services include drug and alcohol education, specialized parenting support, and other substance abuse recovery components like therapy.

Although inpatient treatment services are free, other drug rehab services offered at Gulf Coast Center require payment based on a sliding fee scale. This rehabilitation center also accepts many commercial insurance plans that could include ComPsych, TRICARE, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Magellan, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and others.

Gulf Coast has been there for me for multiple years. The staff, usually ty I ally is very empathetic. There has only been one issue. The ACT team are an amazing group of individuals. They work hard, are special people. Please do not listen to all the slander. I would like to thank the many women, and men that have helped. God bless ya'll especially as I am going through stage 5 brittle brain bone marrow cancer treatment, along with uterine cancer treatment and breastfeeding cancer treatment. Patience is a virtue as my daughter, Jules, has always said. She's my mentor and my Godmother, my inspiration. Trust that I along with my domestic partner love each other. Thank God for all that you do.

I have an appointment for 1:00pm and another one for a different doctor at another facility at 12:00pm. The 1:00pm to draw blood and to see my doctor, i can get very dizzy and lightheaded if I don't get anything to eat; they told me I can wait for a "no show" in the morning I said cool, today they told me my appointment is for 3:00pm, I said I cant wait for that long without for food. I told them to reschedule. The first time I went up here I let them know I have a service dog that is in training, my professional dog trainer and I have been training him for a year, they said no dogs allowed then ask me for proof, right after that there was an ESA dog walking around trying to get in my purse.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.

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.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

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.

Clinical Services

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.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

I had a very disappointing experience with Gulf Coast Center. The inconsistency in their communication made it extremely difficult to be a client. They do not disclose appointment costs upfront, which is not only frustrating but also illegal. Instead, you’re left with a surprising bill after the fact, which feels deceptive. Despite their claims, it seems they don’t adhere to the guidelines outlined in their own handbook. This center has been a nightmare for me for over a year, and they continuously promise to resolve these issues with their services, but it all feels like lip service. I feel compelled to warn others to seek services elsewhere—like UTMB, which I found to be far more reliable. Mental health is crucial, especially given the serious issues of suicide and mental distress. Unfortunately, Gulf Coast Center only adds to the stress instead of alleviating it. I strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs. There are better options out there.
