I do not like writing or leaving reviews but I must contrast that with my desire to support what works, for me, and for those I know. I am grateful to Laura as well as the friendly and professional office staff. As a veteran I can and will vouch for them to my fellow veterans should you read this. They, especially Laura, are truly there to help and support us. As an El Pasoan and person in general, I have sent my fair share of community members to them and I would do so again without reservation or hesitation. On a personal note, thank you Laura. You made a world of difference and you are one hell of a guide.

Your support and referrals mean the world to us, and we're dedicated to providing exceptional care to our community. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to serve you and others in El Paso. 
If I could put zero stars, I would. Noe was extremely unprofessional and let his emotions get in the way. Completely yelled at my partner and I and was always late for scheduled appointments.
Response from the owner1 week ago
I'm sorry to hear you felt it was a bad experience. In speaking with the therapist he did state he explained to your partner the reason for being late and your partner stated he understood and was commended the therapist for taking extra care and time to another patient in crisis. He did however, extend your regular session time longer than the allotted time. Mental health is important and unfortunately, sometimes we have to deal with a crisis but we do try to respect each others appointment times and give everyone the same care and attention. We also respect privacy, so of course we won't go into details however the therapist denied ever yelling at anyone. Thank you for your time and I want to wish you good luck on your mental health journey. 
From all of the places I've been referred to through the VA, this place has helped me the most. I seriously feel like im actually getting the help I need here. I highly recommend this place so much, I have brought my family members here as well to get the help they need. Laura (my counselor) is very friendly and funny and works hard to research my condition to find better ways to help me cope, my other counselors didnt even try. The staff has always welcomed me with a smile and respect.

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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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).
Treatments
Alcoholism occurs when a person becomes physically and psychologically dependent on alcohol. Attending a professional alcohol rehab in Texas can provide customized intervention methods to address the physical, mental, and relational challenges of addiction.
During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.
Substance abuse treatment is available in Texas for anyone who's struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. These programs usually provide a comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment plan, and include evidence-based treatments, like therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful coping strategies, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help with emotional regulation and stress.
Programs
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
Clinical Services
Individual therapy offers you a confidential space to address the complexities of your drug or alcohol addiction. Your therapist guides these personalized sessions to help develop self awareness and manage stress. This promotes sustained sobriety and overall well being.
Peer support is an important aspect of group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction. As you and your peers share stories and encourage each other, it fosters a sense of community and belonging that helps you process your feelings and reduces the sense of isolation that is associated with addiction.
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.
