Accepted Insurance

New Choices Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

A drug intervention in Texas may be necessary if your loved one is in denial about a substance use disorder. You can partner with intervention services to plan and execute an effective intervention that educates your loved one about addiction and encourages them to get the treatment they need. Many rehab centers offer intervention specialists who can facilitate the intervention and help with a seamless transition to inpatient rehab for treatment.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical 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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

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.

Clinical Services

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.

Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.

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.

Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

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.

Creative arts therapy focuses on creative processes. You may engage in sculpting, dancing, improv, painting, or sketching. These creative outlets provide an opportunity to explore and express difficult emotions.

Zero stars. Do not come here unless you want to be cursed and yelled at by staff members.

Response from the owner
Dear Lyssa,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take your feedback very seriously.
We would like to learn more about what happened so we can address it directly and ensure it doesn’t happen again. Please feel free to contact our admissions line and ask to speak with our CEO so this can discuss this further.
Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us grow and improve.

Every step of the way has been an excellent experience, every staff member is professional and efficient with recovery services. I want to shout out my counselor Ms. Sherry for her attentive care and support, and my case manager Ms. Desi went to bat for me and went beyond and above. All RC’s and nursing thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ms.Lora I want to thank you for allowing me to be apart of New Choices, I really appreciate it. I’m going to go put my recovery in motion.

The group sessions at New Choices were one of the most powerful and healing parts of my recovery journey. In the beginning, I was nervous and unsure—I didn’t know if I’d be able to open up, or if I’d feel connected to anyone. But over time, those sessions became something I looked forward to. They turned into a space where I could be honest with myself and others, where I didn’t feel judged, and where people actually listened and understood. The group dynamic taught me the value of connection. It reminded me that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Hearing other people’s stories helped me unpack my own, and slowly, I started to believe that maybe I wasn’t broken—maybe I was just healing. Each topic we covered—whether it was boundaries, coping skills, childhood wounds, relapse triggers, or communication—felt relevant to my life. And the way the group was guided allowed all of us to be seen and heard. There was always a mix of vulnerability, laughter, and growth in the room. We cheered each other on through the hard days and celebrated the small wins that felt huge. But what truly made my experience at New Choices so impactful was my therapist. She was everything I needed and more. She made me feel safe, seen, and validated from day one. Her compassion, patience, and insight helped me uncover the deeper reasons behind my patterns and pain. She didn’t just talk at me—she met me where I was emotionally, challenged me when I needed it, and always held space for me to feel without shame. I was able to open up in ways I never thought I could, and I credit so much of my personal growth to the trust and therapeutic relationship we built. She saw the version of me that I was too scared to believe in—and slowly, because of that, I started to believe in myself too. I’m so incredibly thankful for the time I spent in this program. I came into IOP feeling lost and unsure if change was possible for me. Now, I’m walking away with tools, perspective, confidence, and—most importantly—hope. I know I still have work to do, but I’m not starting from scratch anymore. I’m starting from experience, support, and a stronger sense of self than I’ve had in a long time. Thank you to my therapist, my group, and the New Choices staff. This experience changed my life.

Response from the owner
Selina, it means a lot to us that our group sessions were a powerful and healing part of your recovery journey. We believe in the strength of shared experience. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
