About Baylor Medical Center

The Garland VA Medical Center is a healthcare center in Garland, Texas, for veterans and military members and their families. Their facility actually offers quite a few medical services and specialties like primary care and women’s healthcare but they can also help you get treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.

The VA has a very strong addiction treatment program so if you qualify for veterans’ care, this center could help you on your journey to recovery. They can connect with the right level of rehab for you whether your best fit is residential treatment or outpatient care.

The most impactful thing about their substance abuse programs is that your program is tailored to you. You’ll have a care coordinator who will make sure you understand all of your options and can create a treatment plan that works for you. Your program will probably include counseling, and it may also include things like medications for addiction and relapse prevention planning. There are even specialized groups so you can meet with other people who have similar circumstances like a group for women veterans and a group for veterans experiencing homelessness.

This customization and personalized care can help you get the treatment you truly need to finally put your addiction behind you and establish a healthy new life in recovery.

Addiction Treatments

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.

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.

Programs

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.
