Residential Veteran Program in San Marcos, TX
Texas Helps provides a residential Veteran program in San Marcos, Texas for Veterans dealing with drug or alcohol addiction and mental health symptoms. If you have served in the military and feel like life has become harder to manage, we’re here to help.
Our program gives you a safe place to step away from daily stress, focus on your health, and begin recovery with support. Treatment is designed to support Veteran mental health, and the challenges military Veterans face after service.
If you’re dealing with alcohol use, drug use, PTSD, depression, anxiety, trauma, or sleep problems, our team can help you look at the full picture so that treatment supports both your substance use and your mental health.
Texas Helps is in network with the VA, which helps make treatment easier to access for eligible Veterans.
Addiction Treatment for Veterans in Texas
Military service can shift how you deal with stress, pain, fear, loss, and daily life after service. For some Veterans, drugs or alcohol start as a way to cope. Substance use can begin to affect your health, relationships, work and sleep.
At Texas Helps, residential treatment gives you structure, support, and space to recover. You can focus on getting stable without trying to manage everything at home on your own.
We support Veterans struggling with:
- Alcohol addiction
- Opioid addiction
- Prescription drug misuse
- Benzodiazepine use
- Fentanyl use
- Cocaine or stimulant use
- Polysubstance use
- PTSD and trauma symptoms
- Anxiety and depression
- Co-occurring mental health concerns
Dual Diagnosis Support for Veterans
Addiction and mental health can go hand in hand. For Veterans, these include PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, panic, or feeling numb. These symptoms can make recovery harder when they are not treated at the same time as substance use.
At Texas Helps, dual diagnosis treatment means we look at both sides of what you are facing. Your care plan may include a combination of therapy, coping skills, relapse prevention, and support for trauma-related symptoms.
PTSD and Trauma-Informed Care
PTSD can show up in many ways. You may feel on edge, have nightmares, feel detached from people, or react strongly to certain sounds, places, and memories. Trauma-informed care means we do not ask, “What is wrong with you?” We ask, “What happened, and what support do you need now?”
Our team works to create a calm, respectful setting where you can feel safe enough to begin healing.
Support for Anxiety and Depression
Many Veterans also struggle with anxiety, depression, or mood changes. You may feel irritable, tired, restless, hopeless, or unable to enjoy things you used to care about.
Our residential treatment program helps you learn healthier ways to manage stress, emotions, and triggers without turning to drugs or alcohol.
What to Expect in Our Residential Veteran Program
Residential treatment gives you 24/7 support in a structured setting. During your stay, you can work with a treatment team to understand your needs, build recovery skills, and plan for life after treatment.
Care includes:
- A confidential assessment
- Medical and clinical support
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Dual diagnosis support
- Trauma-informed care
