About IntraCare North Hospital at Houston

Located in Houston, Texas, Intracare North Hospital provides mental and behavioral health care services for adults including specialized services for persons with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. Clients requiring higher-intensity addiction treatment may be referred to an inpatient drug rehab or alcohol program.

Treatment at Intracare North Hospital begins with a mental health assessment to screen for symptoms of addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) involves attending treatment sessions 3-4 days per week. Clients participate in individual and group therapy, skills training, and recovery support meetings.

Medication management involves a medical exam to determine if a medication may be supportive in the rehabilitation process. This could include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which is appropriate for alcohol and opioid addiction and involves counseling, support groups, and medication management in an outpatient setting.

Many major insurers, such as Cigna, United Healthcare, and others, cover some or all of the costs of mental health and/or addiction recovery services when deemed medically necessary. Contact your provider to verify coverage because out-of-network benefits can vary.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
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.

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 Program
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-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

I’ve been admitted to Intracare North Hospital about three times as an adolescent, and even all these years later, I *still* carry the impact of those experiences with me. Located at 1120 Cypress Station Dr., Intracare North is more than just a facility — it’s a place where healing begins, where voices are heard, and where safety truly matters. Compared to the now-closed Intracare South, where I *also* have 💕cherished💕 memories, North was definitely a little more structured and strict — but in a way that made you feel protected. The staff there made safety their top priority, and as a young person going through tough times, that sense of security meant everything. The nurses were always present and attentive, the environment was spotless, and the entire team operated with a deep sense of compassion and professionalism. The therapists were unbiased and open — they let you speak your mind without judgment, which in my personal experience and listening to experiences of others, wasn't always easy to find in the other psychiatric hospitals. Group sessions made sure to include *everyone* and they felt like real conversations, not lectures. And the discharge planning? Thoughtful and thorough. They never made you feel rushed out the door. They made sure you were ready — mentally, emotionally, and with a plan. Oh — and let’s not forget the food! Genuinely good meals that you could compare to Luby's! 😋. The patients I met came from different stories, and the ones I bonded with felt like instant family, — even if it was only to pass the time, while a special few ended up being a part of my life (though you have to exchange contact information secretly). As a side note, though it happened at Intracare South 🏥 (by Fannin street), I met my now-husband there when I was 13 years old in March 2010. 💖 It’s wild to think how places like this, which are often tied to struggle, can also be the backdrop of life-changing moments and connections. Intracare North helped *shape* the confident and empathetic person I am today. Intracare as a *whole* showed me that mental health treatment doesn’t have to feel cold or stigmatized — it can be nurturing, *empowering*, and even beautiful. If you’re looking for a place that treats you with dignity, surrounds you with care, and gives you space to find your footing again, I can’t recommend Intracare North highly enough. 👏🏼

Worst place for “mental heath” treatment ever. Dr. Knolls is completely unresponsive and dismissive to patients needs, it seems like they are just trying to admit people and release them rather than truly treat them. DO NOT GO HERE. They are of no help when needed.
