About San Antonio Behavioral Healthcare Hospital

Their addiction program includes both inpatient and outpatient tracks. If you need round the clock monitoring and immediate stabilization, you’ll start out in inpatient treatment. While you stay on site, your care team can help you detox and start your road to recovery. If you’re stable enough to live at home while you attend treatment, they offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs.

All of their programs include individual and group counseling sessions. During each session, you’ll talk with your therapist about the underlying issues and behaviors that contribute to your substance abuse. They’ll help you work through those challenges and teach you healthy ways to manage stress.

A unique feature of this facility is that they offer lots of holistic healing options at their inpatient center. In addition to therapy, medication management, and life skills training, you can participate in other services such as yoga, tai chi, art therapy, music therapy and meditation.

While some past clients report positive experiences here, it’s important to mention that others have had difficult interactions with the staff members. A lack of respect, poor communication, and an unprofessional approach are some of the commonly repeated complaints.

**FIVE STAR GOOGLE MAPS REVIEW EARNED by SABHH** ***10-STAR GOOGLE MAPS REVIEW*** Pain in my joints left me four weeks and little to no sleep. My sleep had deteriorated to, “20-hours awake followed by 90 minutes of sleep.” This made normal life impossible. SABHH was there for me at a “critical” life or no-life point. This was not my first rodeo as I’ve been battling things for 19 years and have experience with many programs and facilities. SABHH Magnolia Unit is many performance levels above the rest. SABHH Staff made the difference from the cleaning professionals to the Extraordinaire Cafeteria gourmet cooks and bakery aficionados. Nurses and nurse technicians worked together to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all guests/patients and Staff themselves. Even when a patient was experiencing difficulty in any given moment/situation, SABHH Staff managed to maintain a safe environment, allowing for the best possible recovery of each patient. Mission accomplished by SABHH STAFF…!!! I didn’t memorize everybody’s name so please accept this short, “Shout out List”. Valerie (evening shift – Magnolia): Valerie was capable of keeping things running smoothly with clear instructions and explanations of SABHH Policies, while demonstrating compassion and empathy. Laura (Technician -Magnolia) Warm smile paired to a warm heart and demeanor. Maria (Nurse -Magnolia) Compassionate care and attention to detail. I could tell Maria cared about my care. Angelina (Technician -Mustang/Magnolia): Great conversationalist, warm heart and beautiful inside and out…! “Key” (Therapist Extraordinaire): “Key” always smiled when she saw me. The kinda smile that warms your soul. Key consistently presented with a warm glow and aura of the true beauty needed and the benchmark of proper “bedside manner”. Dr. Campos (Psychiatrist): Extremely intelligent and a true problem solver. Dr. Campos and I quickly reach a workable system to address my medical needs. Art (Technician -Magnolia): Outstanding Unit management. Amazing depth of information on many topics of relevancy. Ronny (Cafeteria Professional): Keeping it real while you enjoyed your meal. Sichelle S. (Transportation Specialist Extraordinare): Sichelle S. Provided a listening ear while transporting me to my first destination. Sichelle showed empathy and compassion and is the first of many, I pray, great conversations on my new journey. Many, many others deserve my thanks… Houdini---

I want to sincerely thank Jeanette, the house supervisor at my brother’s inpatient facility, for her heart, dedication, and commitment to providing him with the best care possible. She has gone above and beyond not only for my brother, but for my family as well. She has taken an incredibly stressful situation and somehow made it feel lighter and more manageable through her compassion, patience, and support. People with Jeanette’s level of dedication, passion, and genuine care are rare. No words can truly express how grateful I am for everything she has done for my brother and our family. Thank you, Jeanette, for making such a meaningful difference in our lives.

This was a mostly really good experience for me. I was scared and super frustrated with the registration process. I felt like a burden or just another number when I came in. That made me more afraid because I knew I'd need to be here a few days. When I got to the actual hospital part, the staff were so kind. Sylvia and Jennifer at night were always so helpful. Valerie and Art were super kind, and ran a tight ship. The director Kiki checked in on me multiple times and always had a smile. I didn't feel like a burden for the first time in a long time. Highly recommend.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

San Antonio Behavioral Healthcare Hospital works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Texas's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs prioritize comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs offer diverse levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization options. Evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, group work, and educational workshops help treat both conditions at the same time and give you the tools to sustain mental health and sobriety.

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.

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).

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

Very bad experience at San Antonio Behavioral Health Hospital My husband has been there for almost 3 days, and according to him, he still has not had an in-person meeting with a doctor. He only had one brief FaceTime/video interaction with a doctor. We have been very frustrated because he doesn’t even feel like he can get a clear answer about when he might be able to go home. There are many other serious concerns. He says there are no pillows, and he is not allowed to sleep when he is tired. The phones often do not work, so he can’t even make a phone call to his family. We have also heard from him that patients are losing clothes and other personal belongings that were sent to the hospital. He says there are fights between patients and that there do not seem to be enough staff walking around and monitoring the patients, which makes him feel unsafe. He has been to other behavioral health hospitals before, and he says this experience is completely different. His exact words to me were, “Please don’t ever send me back here.” When someone is already going through a mental health crisis, they deserve to feel safe, be treated with dignity, have reasonable access to communication with their family, and receive appropriate medical care and information about their treatment. Based on what my husband has experienced during these almost 3 days, we are extremely disappointed and concerned about this facility.

One of the worst hospitals I've been to. They lack team communication, time management, and organizational skills. They treat you like an animal, and you have to convince every staff member you're a human. They need serious team-building exercises and resource management. I would never go back to this place willingly ever again. Run while you still can. They took my paperwork after I was told I could keep it. Didn’t give me any results even though I requested pictures, exams, and X-rays while there. They mistreat the patients, like Shelly, Judith, Esmeralda, etc. , as if they’re a burden to treat. I saw only one staff member do her job decently and even SHE was overwhelmed. Do better.

Response from the owner
La Tia, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We are sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling unheard, frustrated, and disappointed. Everyone who interacts with our organization deserves to feel they are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, and feedback suggesting otherwise is something we take seriously.

You raised concerns regarding communication, organization, responsiveness, and the overall environment you experienced. Feedback like yours helps us look more closely at how our processes and interactions are experienced and where there may be opportunities for improvement.

Because a public forum is not the appropriate place for us to discuss individual circumstances, we would welcome the opportunity to better understand your concerns. Please contact Mrs. Cheryl, Patient Advocate, directly at 210-541-5340 so that your concerns can be heard and reviewed through the appropriate process.

Thank you for speaking up and sharing your perspective. We remain committed to listening, learning, and continuing to improve.
