Accepted Insurance

Tropical Texas Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Cigna

Humana

UnitedHealth Group

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient Rehab

Aftercare

Intervention 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.

Medically Assisted Detox

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

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.

In Texas, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs can treat individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse challenges. Usually offered on an inpatient or outpatient rehab basis, clinicians provide individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, and skills training to address both disorders and equip you with the skills to maintain your recovery.

Programs

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.

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.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.

Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.

Peer support is an important aspect of group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction. As you and your peers share stories and encourage each other, it fosters a sense of community and belonging that helps you process your feelings and reduces the sense of isolation that is associated with addiction.

Individual therapy offers you a confidential space to address the complexities of your drug or alcohol addiction. Your therapist guides these personalized sessions to help develop self awareness and manage stress. This promotes sustained sobriety and overall well being.

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.

Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.

The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic within the family unit. Therapists help individual members to identify and change harmful behavior patterns and improve communication. This provides a stable foundation for the family and their loved one's recovery.

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.

Experiential therapy in Texas can look different for each person. You may engage in fitness activities, community service, culinary arts, or art therapy, for example. The goal is to provide a safe setting where you can interact with your environment and work through emotions and experiences with the help of that activity and the guidance of a therapist.

This place is unorganized. They don't have any answers or know what's going on. My daughter had an appointment on 8/12 for a follow up. She never was seen. They rescheduled for 8/20 @8am. They waited over an hour and they said they need to look for a case worker who will see her..... if they schedule you to get seen, they should have someone available for that time slot. Mentality..."we're going to schedule you, but not have anyone to see you on that day and time." They have 0 consideration for people's time. The worst place to bring someone who needs help.

Way Up

Very immature unprofessional staff they wouldn't answer my questions about the legality of having to get a insulin shot there just threatened me with calling an ambulance and that they would force me to need an investigation

I was put here awhile ago and I never bothered to speak out for fear of being alone and nobody understanding my perspective until I finally came back and read the reviews. This place is the most terrible hospital for any child to be in, especially for LGBTQ+ folk. They will refuse to respect your boundaries, make excuses for their bad actions, and laugh about the patients there.Two nurses laughed at one of the patients for throwing up eggs in the morning.. nobody asked if he was okay. In this entire area, or at least the area I was in, only 2 staff workers were good to me and explained the situation. If you're transgender, staff are told to NOT call you by your preferred name/pronouns because it's 'confusing' and 'messes with the system'. I understand if it truly does confuse staff workers and mixes up their paper work, but I shouldn't have to deal with one of the nurses telling me that the way I think is wrong and I'm too young to know what I am. (When did opinions come into treating patients??)I could go on and on about my terrible experience here, like how the staff workers allowed other patients to bully me and made excuses for them while making it seem like I was the bad person or like how I broke down and they told me to calm down and not to escalate the situation instead of comforting me and putting me into a separate room to calm down, but it could never level to actually experiencing it.I WILL SAY that this is one of the WORST child care hospitals you can ever put your children in, and privacy is nonexistent here. If you're a mother or father with hopes of keeping close contact with your children while they're in here, don't have high hopes. They rush patients, CONSTANTLY. They made comments about my body as they looked over me, rushed me, pressured me, and made me feel insecure about things that are completely normal.I wasn't even here for that long, and can you believe so much happened in 1 week? Even as I checked out, multiple staff workers sat nearby me, pressuring me to leave a good note about them and give a good review to the place. I will never forget how good I felt to finish filling out that paper and finally be able to leave. GOOD RIDDANCE.

I just called at 7:46 am on a Monday. They said they're closed even though they open at 7am.

The worst experience we have ever had with any facility. Four caseworkers in a year and having to tell the entire story over and over again to catch them up. This is ridiculous. Not recommended

Lori Ann Solano

People wearing masks they only show their real faces when they're not in the Limelight it was all a pretend show for years going there they hurt my feelings and broke me.

snail lover

they will abuse you, your loved one or your child, then deny the abuse happened, and if that fails they will file sham cps reports and try to convince everyone that will listen that the victim is too mentally unstable to have accurate testimony. do not send your loved ones here, it is hell on earth. they illegally sedate children without the consent of the parents for minor infractions
