About Evoke Wellness – San Marcos

Evoke Wellness in San Marcos is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. They’re dedicated to treating men and women with substance use disorders. Your care takes place in a picturesque landscape with easy access to outdoor parks and forest preserves.

San Marcos is located between Austin and San Antonio and 2.5 hours west of Houston. Evoke Wellness is fully ready to support your journey to transform your personal and professional life. They have a multidisciplinary staff experienced in delivering customized treatment plans tailored to your goal of achieving long term sobriety.

Their approach to addiction treatment in Texas helps you discover healing and stability in your mind, body and spirit. Treatments are rooted in the latest practices. A comprehensive evaluation is the foundation of your customized treatment program to help you determine the first crucial step in your treatment.

The first step is often detoxification. Addictive substances cause physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms can be painful and potentially endanger your life. The staff at Evoke Wellness follows you closely and uses meds approved by the FDA to reduce withdrawal symptoms and help prevent adverse complications.

Once detoxification is completed then the residential addiction treatment program offers hope and healing in a safe and supportive environment where you can focus solely on recovery. Their residential program includes several specialized approaches ranging from trauma interventions to music therapy. Interdisciplinary services address the unique ways that men and women tend to use substances. This type of care is effective in targeting the specific needs and challenges of each gender.

Their veterans program is designed to help retired military personnel in Texas overcome addictions. Veterans struggle with a higher frequency of addiction due to joint mental health conditions like PTSD and chronic pain from injuries sustained during service. Their dual diagnosis care addresses joint disorders in an integrated and comprehensive approach. Simultaneous treatment is essential since behavioral and mental disorders often exacerbate each other.

Their San Marcos facility can provide substance treatment for alcohol addiction and a variety of drugs including cocaine and fentanyl. The polysubstance abuse program addresses unique challenges that come with using multiple substances. The consequences of polysubstance abuse are similar to other addictions but the treatment is more complex.

Whether you struggle with abusing one or more drugs, your customized plan may include medication assisted treatment to build a durable foundation for a long recovery. Prescriptions approved by the FDA like Vivitrol are used to reduce the effects of withdrawal and cravings that can increase the challenges associated with sobriety and treatment.

Evoke Wellness works with most major insurance companies and verifies your coverage before beginning treatment. Their staff understands that the financial questions associated with recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can be overwhelming. Specialized financial counselors are here to help when you’re ready to call.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

This critical phase follows initial intensive treatment. Aftercare involves ongoing counseling and support groups to help prevent relapse. Your program might also include vocational training or help to advance your education. Aftercare helps you integrate the skills you've learned by offering support through community resources, peer encouragement and regular check ins.

Inpatient

Residential programs provide an intensive level of care in a structured and supportive environment with continuous medical monitoring and support through detox and intensive rehabilitation. Inpatient treatment is designed to foster recovery and equip you with the coping strategies you need before transitioning to a lower level of care.

12-Step

These programs are associated with Alcoholics Anonymous and that typically emphasizes spiritual and moral recovery. Peer support is based on admitting powerlessness over your addiction and to seek guidance and make amends for the harm you've caused. This helps foster a stronger network to help you maintain sobriety and encourages personal growth.

Medically Assisted Detox

Detoxification is typically the first stage in treating severe addiction. You experience close medical supervision to safely withdraw from substances while medical care monitors you for side effects and potentially life threatening complications. FDA approved medications alleviate discomfort and are often followed by treatment modalities that address the psychological aspects of addiction.

24-Hour Clinical Care

This care model provides you with constant medical monitoring and support when you're undergoing detox or if you have other severe symptoms of substance use disorder. This level of care ensures your safety and provides immediate intervention during withdrawal and crises. It can include medication management, individual group therapy,and nutritional support so you’ll feel more fit and confident and have healthier ways to cope with stress rather than falling back on drugs.

LGBTQ Program

LGBTQ services provide specialized support tailored to the unique needs of the LGBTQ community. It addresses issues like discrimination and identity related stress that often contributes to substance abuse and the development of co-occurring mental health conditions. These services combine medical care, psychological support and community building activities to help you heal and build resilience while embracing your identity.

Military Program

Treatments

Treatment for alcoholism usually includes detox and counseling to address underlying issues and promote change. Prescriptions can help you reduce withdrawal symptoms and prevent a relapse. Group therapy with your peers can give you a sympathetic shoulder to lean on as you share coping strategies and heal together.

Care programs for opioid addictions typically combine prescriptions with counseling and behavioral therapies. Medications like methadone can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. You can also attend counseling to support emotional healing and develop healthier coping skills. This comprehensive approach helps target the physical and psychological aspects of addiction to improve your chances of recovery.

A customized approach for drug addiction often begins with an assessment of your needs. Detox purges your body of substances while stabilizing your brain chemistry so you can better resist a relapse. Therapy addresses underlying conditions and can provide a community for shared experiences and encouragement. This comprehensive strategy supports a sustainable recovery.

Treatment must address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. Evoke Wellness integrates psychiatric care with addiction therapy that includes a combination of medications, therapy and support groups to provide holistic and effective treatment. Their experienced mental health professionals understand the complexities of co-occurring disorders and tailor your plan to meet your needs.

Programs

Adult Program

An adult addiction treatment program caters specifically to the needs of individuals over age 18 to address the responsibilities and stressors common at this life stage. An adult program focuses on developing coping mechanisms, rebuilding relationships and improving life skills. A structured environment at Evoke Wellness supports you during recovery to manage your daily pressures and commitments.

Program For Women

A women's addiction treatment program acknowledges the differences between men and women. Women are more likely to be full time caretakers of their children or their parents, have a higher risk of co-occurring depression and anxiety and are more likely to experience sexual assault and partner violence. A women’s program addresses these unique needs using women-focused therapies in a safe and nurturing environment.

Program For Men

A men’s addiction program focuses on the specific issues that men face: building strength, accountability and emotional expression.

This male only space helps create a judgment free zone where you can explore personal issues that relate to your substance use.

Military Program

The staff is well versed in military culture and combines evidence-based therapies, peer support and specialized counseling to focus on resilience, recovery and reintegration into civilian life.

Clinical Services

Peer support is an important aspect of group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction. As you and your peers share stories and encourage each other, it fosters a sense of community and belonging that helps you process your feelings and reduces the sense of isolation that is associated with addiction.

Individual therapy offers you a confidential space to address the complexities of your drug or alcohol addiction. Your therapist guides these personalized sessions to help develop self awareness and manage stress. This promotes sustained sobriety and overall well being.

The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic within the family unit. Therapists help individual members to identify and change harmful behavior patterns and improve communication. This provides a stable foundation for the family and their loved one's recovery.

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.

The right life skills training will help you build the skills you need for recovery. You'll learn how to solve problems, improve your social life, enhance your mental health, and make good decisions. This is a key component of drug rehab programs in Texas.

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.

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

(wouldn't have written such a long review if I was just a complainer. Up to you if you listen. Goodluck)The absolute worst treatment center I have ever encountered and I ve been to a lot (Not bragging, this isn t a good thing). Some have been bad, but at least they generally follow the law, and adhere to the patient bill of rights.I have two grievances that I turned in, one against the discharge coordinator and the other against DeParis - Head of nursing. The second grievance was against Christina-Clinical director. On both I requested they forward them to the Texas HHS ombudsman or give me access to a phone to call them. They responded with You can call them after we admin discharge you - Christina. Same thing when I asked to call the joint commission.. keep in mind it was nearly 100 degrees and I had my service animal with me.Kurt whom is the middle man between Evoke and the parent company.told me my service animal was fake, even though I had all the information and documents to back up the legitimacy of my service animal with me, including extremely detailed notes on the 5 weeks of training.They also messed up with the doctors orders on one of my medications. I had been on Lexapro 30mg for over a year and they forgot to do the taper I was switching to Effexor and supposed to start it after the taper. They cut me off cold turkey from lexapro for 7+ days. After the first few days I fell into an extremely depressed state. I lost 25 pounds because I couldn t stomach food in the 11 days I was trapped there. Kurt the one from earlier even said with a smug smile that I know and I think you know you don t any options. I was so humiliated, angry, and depressed because I thought he was correct. That is when I started to have suicidal ideations. Which led to being suicidal. One night I was so frustrated with the doctors not listening to me and the department heads ambushing me in a sit down . Me sat on a couch with 8 or more employees in front of me, 4 of which I had open grievances on. And sure enough, I started to have a panic attack. They were all staring at me and threatening me not to ask to call the ombudsman or joint commission any more.How did I get out? I requested a ride to the hospital which was 4 minutes away. They ordered a private ambulance to take me. Guess who s paying the bill on that one and a second ambulance to drive me 40 minutes to Laurel Ridge in San Antonio. Laurel Ridge is a psych hospital in case you weren t aware. I stayed there for 5 days and was surprisingly able to stomach food again, the unit I was in was great. I d take a psych hospital over Evoke Wellness and day of the week. I m sure my grievances that I wrote to forward to the ombudsman and joint commission were put in the shredder.They are trying to cover their bottoms. They thought they could abuse me and I wouldn't follow through with Brodcasting what this company is really like. If you go, you're going to be sat on a worn couch until the nurse comes and takes your vitals. You haven't signed anything yet at that point. I'll let those that don't listen to my warning find out for themselves. When I walked in the front door, I had this energy draining affect with all the fluorescent lights humming away and giving you migraines.

So grateful for the help that the staff at sunrise recovery provided me they have huge hearts and you can tell unlike a lot of rehabs, They are not in it for the money. They are genuinely just trying to help you. The inpatient unit has so many amenities. I only did the outpatient program but after seeing the inside of the inpatient building, I wished that I had received my intensive treatment at this facility rather than the one that I went to. There s a meditation room, a basketball, hoop, ping pong table, fully stocked gym, even a little garden you can tend to you name it. This place has it. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work with Sharon in the intensive outpatient program. She truly goes out of her way to try to accommodate all of your needs and help you build a stable foundation for your future would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking any type of treatment
