Some clients will be required to undergo detox before entering treatment. This ensures that toxic substances are removed from their system before they begin treatment. Detox is overseen by a team of medical professionals who offer support and comfort during the process, tending to the needs of each client.
The residential program allows clients to live at the facility while they are receiving care. The facility provides everything they need, including meals and a room, so that they can focus their attention on the recovery process. The length of the inpatient program varies.
In addition to 24 hour nursing, clients in the inpatient program work with their care team to develop their treatment plan. West Oaks Hospital combines 12 step recovery programs, individual and group therapy, relapse prevention education, and life skill development. Clients act as peer support to help one another through recovery.
The outpatient day program offers the same model of care as the inpatient program, but it does not require clients to live on campus. Instead, they meet at the facility on a regular schedule to meet with their care team and engage in group and individual treatment. Outpatient is ideal for those who are stable enough not to require full time care, but it can also be used by those leaving the inpatient program as a transitional step.
Following program completion, the care team will help devise a course of action for clients to follow once they leave. Aftercare includes connecting to community support resources and introduction to the ongoing alum support program.

Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.

12-Step 
Partial Hospitalization Program 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Couples therapy helps couples learn to control emotions, trust each other, and communicate more effectively. It can be useful for short term intervention for a specific issue or for working on the relationship long term.
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.
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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

MY SON ALMOST DIED because of West Oaks hospital. He had been telling them for over a week that he was sick, and they paid no attention. I got a call 2 weeks ago at 6:30 AM from Memorial Hermann Pediatric ICU that he was there with a fatal pneumonia and sepsis, an infection ...
Worst hospital ever no experience don't know what they are doing never take anyone there.
The veterans unit at this hospital saved my life. All the staff is great and treated me with respect. If you are struggling and need help I recommend going to west oaks
I was in the Veterans program at WestOaks hospital and I have to say that this one of the best treatment facilities for Veterans. It gave a chance to work on myself and breathe. The Director Jim White is amazing person as is the therapist and staff, they allowed me to complete my degree plan. Not only am I coming out as a new person, a better person but also a college graduate. Thank you for all you do!
West Oaks hospital was very helpful and informative during my son’s stay at the facility. Particularly, Yvonne was the most supportive, knowledgeable and instrumental in every process. I recommend this facility to any family who’s dealing with love ones with mental health needs.
West oaks has amazing personalities for staff with a beautiful view for its inside-outside walk around park environment.
The staff was absolutely terrific. Very personable Mr. Derrick by far one of the best therapists I've ever had, highly recommend their outpatient program
3 days of calling to talk with a patient on unit 1 and no-one cares to pick it and when they do. An excuse is coming out of their mouth before i give a patient ID number. 20 calls and all, Bad, Horrible, non professional Service. Someone should bring it to the HHSC attention as they make a lot of $$$$ keeping Patients.
Excellent staff, program for individuals with mental stressors, hospitality, and care.
My child was admitted here last week while I was away for work. They have been here for about a week now. She’s improved immensely and I would like to thank the nurses and assistant for that. However, per the conversation with the doctor I had on Sunday, she was more than likely to be released on Monday- no communication since then. Just crickets. I called today. ‘She will either be discharged today or Wednesday due to issues with contacting insurance’ I called admissions today and they said they’ve had no issues with contacting and have been in contact with my insurance just fine. The lack of communication is absolutely abysmal. And when they do contact you, it’s a bunch of over-talking, useless and vague information, and them using the excuse of my insurance, but keeping my child there longer because of it, is just unethical and immoral. This place does not keep the family units and their financial struggles in mind at all.
“Please stop repeatedly asking me whether I have weapons in my home. Those questions should have been addressed during the initial assessment. I also don’t appreciate being spoken to disrespectfully or having someone hang up on me. This is exactly why I prefer working with male caseworkers—because too often I’m met with unprofessional attitudes from female staff. I expect to be treated with the same respect I give and I’m not changing my character I’m not friendly Thank you. — Prophetess 💯”
I was in the veterans program 3 times, and they always treated me very good. They helped me get my meds stable again so that I could return to my home.
This place saved my life. Im a veteran and was having mental health issues.The staff knows what there doing. I felt safe here.
