About San Antonio Recovery Center in Cagnon

There’s something of a misconception that there is a “right way” or singular approach to rehab. But it’s not like mending a broken bone or treating a fever because the circumstances of addiction vary from person to person. Likewise, some individuals respond better to certain methods of treatment than others.
SARC recognizes this and offers a diverse range of evidence backed methods to better serve those seeking help. These include the 12 Step model, individual and group therapy, medication assisted treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and others. Having so many options on offer increases the odds of clients finding a method they are comfortable with.
Clients work together with their care team to develop the treatment plan that works best for them. This collaborative experience can empower clients and make them feel more involved in their recovery.

My son is new there 1 week in. He did this on his own. I would have looked at the reviews first, but I'm just so proud of him that he was strong enough to do this. I'm looking at the reviews and I'm not very happy with these reviews reading what they're saying scares me I pray to God that this place does not do my son worse than he is... I'm keeping the faith in God. Please don't let us down.

As annoying as getting sober can be I gave SARC an opportunity and it worked out for the best. I trusted the staff and the process and I did feel different after 40 days. When I got out I realized that being there and being annoyed by tons of little things was exactly what life would be like on the outside. Safe to say I was geared towards a successful recovery thanks to SARC.

I seriously didn't even want to give them one star! I had the worst experience at this facility. The staff here is crooked and a complete joke! First, it took a week and a half to even see a counselor which is critical, extremely early on since this is only a 30-45 day program. All I received when I asked about it was excuses. They continued to put me off. Instead, I was asked to transfer to their other facility in which I did to only have more problems once I moved. My fifth day there, I became I'll. When I asked for help, they put me off again! This went on for 3-4 hours of me begging for Medical attention. Finally a staff member agreed to take me for medical attention. The pain in my stomach was so excruciating that I begged fir an ambulance. The ride there was taking so long and I knew I needed something done quick! She refused. Once I arrived, the staff took me to the back immediately. I had a severe stomach virus and was admitted for 5 days. When I was discharged, they had transferred me back to the first facility. They took it upon themselves to have my belongings moved by their staff. All of my things were thrown into plastic bags when I had a suitcase and my own bags for my things. Some how over $1,500.00 in jewelry was missing, my headphones, food, beverages, and my personal bath towel all came up missing! Nobody even tried to help me when it was brought to their attention. A day later my virus flaired up again. For a day and a half I was blown off AGAIN! Finally I packed my belongings and called an ambulance. I ended up back in the hospital for another 3 days. This staff and their facility as a whole is not anyone or any where that I would trust my loved ones to be with. They are the definition of unprofessional and careless in my opinion. The description they documented as to why I was discharged was absolutely false and ridiculous. Do not waste your money by enrolling in their program.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

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.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.

Clinical Services

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

I would absolutely recommend San Antonio Recovery center to anyone struggling with addiction!!! When I went to SARC Cagnon I was scared, anxious, mentally exhausted and emotionally broken and physically sick. I was at a point in my life where I decided to use alcohol to numb the pain I was feeling from a life of trauma, betrayal and abandonment and I knew I couldn't and didn't want to continue living that way. SARC gave me 30 days of treatment that changed my life in ways I can't even express in words! I went from feeling so lost and trapped in my life to remembering who I was and finding my fire again! Cagnon is a beautiful, serene center and the staff is amazing. Not everything is going to be perfect each day and if you want to be sober, you have to fight for it. No one is going to do the work for you but the staff is 100% there to help you through. It was honestly like a vacation for me-I slept in my own bed with no one bothering me, had 3 meals made for me and unlimited snacks everyday, real therapy that gave me the tools to cope without using mind altering substances and had fun with the different activities they provided. Not to mention, I made life-long friends with people I never would have known and who still support me today. I was so afraid the 1st two weeks but when I finally let go of that fear, trusted in my higher power, the staff and the recovery program, it all came together! Trust the process and give it a real chance-your're worth it! Sober living is possible and they even have an Alumni group to help guide and support you once you leave there! Go get your life back! #SARCstrong
