Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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 iconMental 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.

opium iconOpioid 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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

Check icon Accreditations

Almost everytime I call their front desk, I am greeted with just static and no operator. How am I supposed to make an appointment here when y'all don't offer online scheduling when your front desk operator's phone is inoperable? Or when your front desk operator seems like he doesn't know what he's doing? The very few times the front desk picked up, was the same dude who seemed to either have a speech impairment or was very incompetent. He kept saying, "Uhh... hold on, let me see..." or, "Hmm... that doesn't seem right. Hold on..." for well over 10 minutes.Please update y'alls' archaic system to allow for online scheduling since the front desk operator seems incapable of doing his job and/or it's inoperable.Other than that, if you can find the time to actually come up here to do whatever you need to do, it's a great location with even better doctors who make you feel heard and will properly address your issues.

I recently had my first visit at the Lake Jackson location. I had been very sick and my care provider from the Houston VA did not seem address my issues. While I was staying in Sargent, my upper respiratory issue had gotten worse. I called this location and was informed that I could come as a walk-in.Let me tell you, what a HUGE difference ! The reception staff were beyond patient and caring. The nurse, PA, and X-ray tech were professional, caring and compassionate .I am seriously considering changing my VA location since I live part time in Sargent.I truly appreciate the service I received and I also received a follow up call. That never has happened at the Houston VA.Great service, highly recommend!

I m glad they are here! Before then I had to go to Galveston and Texas City. They have improved a great deal and my current doctor has been the most helpful yet. Very effective and considerate man.

I moved from Myrtle Beach, Sc. Since I've been coming to the Lake Jackson clinic I've never had a stressful appointment. Every VA clinic should be trained on how to conduct themselves by the Lake Jackson VA clinic. Ms. Ruth is the heart & soul of that place. She's such a sweetheart and truly cares about veterans.

I ve been going to this VA location since it opened and I haven t NEVER had a bad experience. People need to understand that they are short staffed sometimes and that causes delays. But that s life at the VA. Still could service for me.

I have always received excellent care at the LJ clinic. I have been a patient for over 2 years. While I am retired and have Tri-Care, I choose to keep going to the VA clinic. Far faster than my private doc, most meds can be picked up right around the front side of the building, and referrals are easy to get.

The staff here has some attitude and they re very rude. If you ever try calling the clinic you ll have your call dropped regardless of how many times you call. This has been the absolute worst location in all my experience dealing with the VA. I m stunned with all the negative reviews addressing the same issues that nothing has been done.

I would like to address some concerns.1. There was a job posting for Vets to apply, I summited and application. I am a retired VET (about one year since retirement) with a 90% disability, and a bachelor's degree in Education. I did not even get an interview. was this job front loaded? Meaning you hired someone before the job was posted and just did not consider any other applicants? This is not legal, and all applicants should have gotten an interview.2. When coming into this clinic you do not feel welcome by the staff, very short and not very helpful, the doctors did not follow up with me after the test are ran and had to make another appointment to address my health concerns. The only reason I go to the VA is because I have health and mental issues.3. Is there another VA I can transfer to that does not make me feel as though I am being discriminated against.

This place is a disgrace, and it would be best to add this clinic to the list of those that are being considered to shutdown. If I could give zero stars I would.

Long waits. They are terrified that people might show up sick. They are trying to keep social distancing when they don't have the space to do so. Paper masks are handed out as they reject cloth masks.
