About River City Rehabilitation Center
River City Rehabilitation Center in San Antonio, Texas, is an outpatient addiction treatment clinic. The center is staffed with multiple healthcare professionals including licensed counselors, physicians, pharmacists and nurses. The primary treatment they provide to patients is medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
Here, they use methadone to help individuals deal with opioid addiction and Antabuse to assist individuals struggling with alcohol addiction. These treatments are typically combined with therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Patients can call to schedule an appointment Monday through Thursday. They require that patients be 18 years of age or older and dependent on opioids for at least one year to participate in their program.
River City uses methadone to help patients normalize the hormonal and neurological bodily functions that have been impaired by opioids. The form of the medication that they use is an orange diskette form which dissolves after adding water. The benefits for clients who take this medication typically include a reduction of cravings, prevention of withdrawal symptoms for 24 hours and blocking the effects of other opioids.
The length of time patients will receive treatment will depend on their history of use, with success being more likely the longer a patient has been dependent on opioids. The physician will decide when the patient no longer needs the treatment.
If clients are treated with Antabuse then it can cause them to have an unpleasant reaction when they ingest alcohol. The goal that River City Rehabilitation Center desires clients to accomplish with this treatment is to have time to determine how to rebuild their lives without alcohol. The treatment can be used temporarily or on a long-term basis in assisting clients with their drinking problem.

Accepted Insurance
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.

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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
