About Gulf Coast Center Southern Brazoria Community Service Center
Southern Brazoria Community Service Center is part of the Gulf Coast Center network. You'll find 'em located out in Angleton, Texas. They provide mental health services and addiction treatment for people living in Galveston and Brazoria counties. Outpatient treatment (OP) is available for adults and active-duty military personnel.
They accept Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-pay options. For clients who don’t have insurance coverage, they offer a sliding scale fee program.
When you sign up, you’ll get a wide range out outpatient care. While they don’t offer residential treatment at this location, they can refer you to residential providers in Brazoria and Galveston counties through Signals of Society if your condition is acute.
Let’s see what they have to offer. Most clients go through a free screening to help figure out the right level of care. During the screening, you’ll get an assessment of your past history and risk factors. It’s a straightforward way to get started on finding the right support for you.
Treatment programs include individual and group counseling. Professional counselors put together individualized treatment plans to reflect your unique needs. During counseling, you’ll learn about how to manage addiction, including relapse prevention and sober living. Most outpatient group sessions take place over the phone or by video.
They’ll also connect you with local community resources like peer support. When you graduate, you’ll have your own network to prevent a relapse. That way, you won’t feel alone, and you’ll always have a sympathetic ear among those who understand what you’re going through.
One awesome feature is the Specialized Female Treatment program. Along with substance use support, they provide resources that address parenting and treatment issues unique to women. Plus, the program includes drug education for the whole family, focusing on children’s needs. It’s a supportive, holistic approach available to women 18 or older with dependent kids.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug Addiction
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.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
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 Addiction
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.
Clinical Services
Group Therapy
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.
Individual Therapy
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.
