About Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

The Texas Tech University Health Science Center is located in Lubbock, Texas. It is a mental health and substance abuse treatment clinic. Their outpatient program serves adult clients living with a behavioral health disorder or drug and alcohol addiction. As part of the TTU campus, they have extensive resources for new and emerging treatment modalities.

Outpatient programs are what many imagine when they think of treatment. It’s when a client visits a facility on a regular treatment schedule and to meet their care team. TTUHSC has a large multi-disciplinary team equipped to address a wide range of problems. Services may include counseling in individual, group, family, and couples sessions, medication services, spiritual support, skills development, and education services.

Clients with a co-occurring disorder, defined as a behavioral health disorder alongside substance abuse, are at higher risk of relapse. Specialized treatment lowers this risk by targeting the symptoms of both problems during treatment.

TTUHSC doesn’t list accepted insurance, but many treatment programs work with private insurance plans, such as Magellan, Beacon, HCSC, and Cigna. Since out of network benefits may vary, clients are urged to confirm coverage before joining a program.

Overall, mixed reviews. We couldn't go to the lab because the line was about 8 to 10 people in front of us. Parking is nearly always a problem. Some of the offices have multiple lights out and it needs to be addressed. Drs are great. Today I would like to recognize the police on site. My car wouldn't start and the officer jumper my vehicle and even took the time to explain to my son so he could learn. Thank you so much! #everyday heroes

Addiction Treatments

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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab programs are geared toward clients in early recovery. They also provide intensive support for clients in crisis and those at an increased relapse risk. Clients receive housing and meals while in inpatient care, allowing them to focus solely on their recovery. Most programs prioritize addiction counseling but may draw on various psychotherapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, RBT, trauma therapy, and motivational interviewing. Life skills training and holistic therapies are also common in inpatient care.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
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-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.

Treatments

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

Programs

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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

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.

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.

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

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.

The right life skills training will help you build the skills you need for recovery. You'll learn how to solve problems, improve your social life, enhance your mental health, and make good decisions. This is a key component of drug rehab programs in Texas.

That this is a teaching institution frightens me. Post operative care at UMC was horrifying. Nurses refused to call physician about unexplained pain symptoms assuming I was drug seeking, I sat in a vomit saturated gown and blankets for two days, and developed an infection which they gave me the run around for a week regarding. I ended up getting an emergency operation in another state to clean up the dead and infected tissues, staying in another hospital for two more weeks (where thankfully they were kind), and am now working on a 6 week course of IV antibiotics which is administered 3 times a day. ...and that's just the top of the iceberg. If this is the future of medicine, we're doomed.

Whoever made this sign needs to understand what "check in" means. I arrived, scanned this, filled out my information, and then it said that everything was good. Sat in the waiting room for over 45 minutes and finally went to the desk and was told that this is for registering and not checking in.

I have been going to Texas tech University medical center for my seizures since I was 3 years old. I had been seeing Dr. Daniel Hurst for ever and OMG he was soooo amazing the when I had my son and found out that he was having seizures I had Daniel Hurst take on his case as medical wise and once again he was amazing. Well so sadly Dr. Hurst had to retire and now we have this new Dr. That doesn't seem to now anything about my son at all. Well today we go in and just because I had to miss 4x due to 2x for not having a car since ours was broken down and in the shop and the othwr 2x it was snowing at and I wasn't about to chance it with my family of 6 that 1 I'm not supposed to be driving in the first place. Then I proceeded to say that I wasn't going to get a taxi or ride the medicaid transportation ride either due to everyone had to come and she didn't like that. Well then she turned around and looked me dead in my eyes and said " well as of now I drop this patient" so I then tell her that she needed to do a referral to another dr. And she then says nope I can't do anything and then I proceeded to say where is medical records at and she said oh I can't help you with that either. So I go find help and as I'm doing so I also make a complaint on her. REMEMBER SHE NEVER ONCE ASKED IF MY SON HAD ANY MEDICINE TO LAST TIL I GOT HIM IN TO ANOTHER DR NOR DID SHE ASK IF SHE COULD REFILL ANY OF HIS MEDICATIONS. So as of now I will not have my children go there nor will I be returning back there again.
