About San Antonio Behavioral Healthcare Hospital
San Antonio Behavioral Healthcare Hospital is a mental healthcare facility for children, adolescents and adults in San Antonio, Texas. They offer age specific inpatient and outpatient treatments, including special programs for veterans and active duty military. They also have a dedicated substance abuse program for adults struggling with chemical dependency. They accept self pay and private insurance.
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.
