About Texas City VA Clinic

The Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center–Texas City VA Outpatient Clinic is more than just a healthcare clinic for veterans and military families in Texas City, Texas. They provide full health services for the body and the mind.

They offer same day assistance and you don’t need a referral. What strikes me most about their programs is their commitment to the idea that no service member or military family should have to struggle alone. Each veteran or family member deserves respect and support. Their clinic is there as a resource and support network to offer that support and provide the care and services that veterans need and deserve.

You’ll be helped by medical and mental health professionals who understand the unique pressures facing military families and veterans help develop an individual care plan that will assess patients and treat them for issues surrounding PTSD and other common concerns among the military.

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.

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.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.

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.

Response from the owner4 months ago
You are correct. Pretty much the entirety of the clinic needs to find another line of work. Sent from a payphone outside a strip club.

I waited for well over an hour just to pick out frames for my glasses simply because they failed to tell them that I was waiting. I was met with an attitude both times that I approached the front desk to ask. The only reason I decided to write a review about this is because of how common it is at this clinic.I dread each time I have to come to this clinic. If you happen to call, it s very common for them to hang up or even send you to a different place without notice. The one positive is that the phlebotomist is friendly and welcoming.The customer service at the front desk is hit or miss depending on who you get. I ve actually gotten to the point where I d rather pay full price and find a medical provider and mental health clinic that will listen to my issues and concerns than this one that consistently undermines my concerns. Each time I ask for a record of my past visits (x ray, etc.) I have to start everything from square one.Lastly, the doctors having no record of my visits EVERY TIME I COME IN gets old really quick.

The doctor who saw me at the Texas City VA Clinic, is one of the best doctors I have ever been seen by. He knew what my medical problem was almost immediately. I will definitely be returning to this clinic for my future healthcare needs.

Clinically speaking it s a place, with an extremely severe non-friendly, sterile cockpit, VA Clinic that I ve been to ever! My Docs had a GAF attitude, as well as the front desk personnel. They definitely don t care nor listen they only hear! It s a laugh that almost a year and a half later (Oct 2023) I get a call identified as the Beaumont branch (274-miles round trip) that they (the TC Clinic) said they cancelled my appointment (when I did with the provider 1-month after the appointment was made, in the Summer 2022) and they moved me to another team. What a joke! And for the Houston VA Hospital, I could get my appointments quicker thru UTMB than waiting 4-months to see you all! It s all smoke and mirrors with you people and you can t make this stuff up. The one person who did make a difference was your eye clinic technician that fitted me for my eye glasses; who was the most precious, friendliest, professional person out of all of you. For her only, she gets 5-Stars in this write-up.

This is one of the worse VA locations in the area. The front staff is rude and hostile with the exception of one lady. When calling asking for information the receptionist will answer with a please hold or will answer with attitude.

All I have to say is how is this place still open.-You call put you on hold and then hang up on you.-The manager had me escorted out by the cop for finding it unreasonable that my cardiologist put me in for a stat lab and they refused to do my labs in the next week.-Dr. Khan barely looks at you in the appointment. And types with two fingers.-I had stat labs I did have an appointment for that had to be in by a certain time to make it to the special lab for TB and I told them I had to have it before the first pick up. The front desk staff waited until the lab picked up to tell the lab I have been waiting.-Many more experiences with incompetence at this location.-I can t wait until my survey for this clinic -I moved to the Houston VA because of the treatment I have received at Texas City.

I've been with them for one year and they have messed up everything every step of the way. Four months for an appointment. I'm now dropping them to 1 star because I can't chose zero stars. I tried to call to ask a question and got ignored, and hung up on. This place is incompetent. My appointment is in November, I've been waiting since June.
