Don t go, don t sign anything!! This place is a racket. I m a registered nurse with 20 years of experience and have never seen patients treated like they have no rights. I had a family member check in to get help and was left in a room with zero help for 4 days. The treatment of patients is appalling. I will be reporting this to the state.

Well, First of all, That's my real name- look it up if you like- I don't care, nor am I ashamed of my struggle with chronic mental illness. I am brilliant (double majors) and also a decorated veteran.This hospital!!! I don't remember how I got there but I would NEVER have made a personal choice to seek help there.They are filthy.The AC is always broken and we had to sleep in the heat.The food is horrible.You only get one cold cup of coffee in the morning (BTW, it will NOT be re-heated if you beg)!Doctors threaten you instead of listening to you so they can milk you good insurance. I tried to get discharged AMA and they doctor threatened to put me on a 45-day hold. I had a job and a boss who did not know where I was.I called 911 from the hospital that I was being held against my will...and they revoked my phone privileges.Long story short, DO NOT GO HERE!! You have the right to stay at the ER/ Medical hospital till you "feel safe" to leave. Keep finding places- I recommend Rock Springs- They have a very good program for Veterans.STAY AWAY!!!Good luck.

Accepted Insurance

Georgetown Behavioral Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).
inpatient iconInpatient
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 iconIntensive Outpatient
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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in Texas may be necessary if your loved one is in denial about a substance use disorder. You can partner with intervention services to plan and execute an effective intervention that educates your loved one about addiction and encourages them to get the treatment they need. Many rehab centers offer intervention specialists who can facilitate the intervention and help with a seamless transition to inpatient rehab for treatment.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Texas provides a safe environment for medical detox. This setting is crucial to provide medical care during withdrawal. Certain withdrawal symptoms can cause life-threatening conditions, but patients in a supervised clinical setting have treatment readily available to address any symptoms before they become severe. Treatment can also be provided for co-occurring physical and mental health issues.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

I have been to this hospital quite a few times. I was required to complete the outpatient program per court order and the entire experience was a nightmare. It was okay at first, but got progressively worse as I tried to complete the program. The therapist was incredible. Alex was the best therapist I, along with many other patients have ever had before. She fought for her patients and got multiple write ups in the process. She cares deeply about her patients and took the hit if it meant advocating for them. I was forcibly discharged from the program multiple times. First because I had a seizure they discharged me and said they weren t equipped to handle seizures but the following week let me back in and moved me out of Alex s group. A few minutes after joining the other group, they pulled me back into Alex s group after she spoke with the director. She also spoke with HR. I continued programming and 2 days before I was set to discharge from the program, they said they were going to have to call the police and force me inpatient. Meaning I d have to redo the 11 weeks I had already completed of outpatient. I ended up leaving and they called for a welfare check where I was deemed completely safe. They ended up forcibly discharging me from the program again which was fine because I had completed the required amount of days for the program. They told me I had to go to the inpatient intake to pick up my work document and completion letter so I did. They told me they knew nothing about it and wouldn t give me their name. I went back to outpatient where the receptionist walked me over to inpatient and they said they had it but they couldn t give it directly to me, it had to be sent to my job. The receptionist Michelle said she could not give me a completion letter but could at least send me the dates I attended as well as the required amount of dates for the program. The cops then walked in and asked me if I was suicidal to which I replied no I ve just been trying to get my paperwork from them and they re giving me the run around and he responded with okay, sounds like you re just trying to get your paperwork and walked out. Someone from Georgetown then walked back in and said that if I came back on the property for anything other than an assessment, I d be charged with trespassing. Over a month later and I still have not received anything from Michelle and my work has not received the document they were supposed to send. Alex ended up quitting the day I was forcibly discharged for the last time so my hope for receiving any documentation is gone. I will never be back at this hospital after paying thousands of dollars for more trauma and major trust issues as well as maltreatment. I have never been more confused or hurt. I have major scars from attending this hospital and discourage anyone from going here. They have multiple lawsuits against them. I wish I knew this before attending. I can t speak highly enough about Alex though. I think she was just struggling between her own personal morals and hospital policy. If you ever get the chance to work with Alexandria Greagrey, you are in great hands. Just steer clear of Georgetown behavioral. You will leave with more problems than you walked in with

3 days unable to reach a patient. Calling for multiple hrs no one picks up. Have to call the operator just to be sent back into a endless ring. I would rather you guys say " don't call" because no one will answer.

The health of our Countrymen and Women is expression of our hearts and our dedication to the restoration of health in all humans. I am particularly delighted that Mr. Castillo and his staff help me to reinforce my believes in caring and the choices I made to ease the pain in humanity.Keep up the good work.A committed soul, from Alamo health Care Inc.

took me off my meds (four different meds, multiple benzodiazepines), gave me nothing for the withdrawal symptoms, denied me medical attention every day i was in there (i never saw a medical doctor during my stay), treated myself/other patients (inmates) cruelly and inhumanely, never gave me a shower curtain or deodorant, never let me talk to a counselor, deprived me of all basic human compassion and decency, and then rubbed it in my face that i m mentally ill and struggling. inhumane, illegal, and archaic; do not ever send you loved one here. ever. worst facility i have ever been to.
