Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Texas

Texas Helps offers medical detox, residential treatment, therapy, and recovery support in San Marcos, near Austin and San Antonio. We help people stabilize safely, and start building long-term recovery skills.

Care begins with a private assessment. If detox is needed, individuals receive 24/7 medical support during withdrawal. Once stable, they may move into residential treatment for therapy, structure, and daily support.

What Is a Substance Use Disorder?

A substance use disorder is when alcohol or drug use becomes hard to control, even when it causes problems at home, work, school, or in relationships.

Treatment helps people stop using safely and build healthier coping skills. Care may include therapy, medication support, relapse prevention planning, and ongoing recovery support based on each person’s needs.

Substances Treated at Texas Helps

Texas Helps provides treatment for many types of drug and alcohol use disorders. Tailored care plans address each person’s symptoms and recovery goals, at the level of support needed.

Alcohol

Alcohol use can affect sleep, mood, work, and health. Detox may be needed when the body has become used to alcohol.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines can cause serious withdrawal symptoms. Detox should be done with medical support and close monitoring.

Cocaine

Cocaine can lead to strong cravings and mood changes. Treatment focuses on therapy, support, and relapse prevention.

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a very strong opioid. Treatment may include detox, medical care, and ongoing support to lower risk.

Heroin

Heroin can lead to physical dependence and high overdose risk. Care often starts with detox and continues with residential treatment.

Methamphetamine

Meth can affect sleep, mood, and behavior. Treatment helps clients build structure and learn safer coping skills.

Opiates and Opioids

Opiates and opioids may include heroin, fentanyl, or pain pills. Medication-assisted treatment may be used when it is right for the client.

Prescription Drugs

Prescription drug misuse can involve pain pills, sedatives, or stimulants. Treatment depends on the drug, health history, and withdrawal risk.

Polysubstance Use

Polysubstance use means more than one drug is being used. Care must look at the full pattern of use, not just one substance.

Texas Helps alcohol treatment worked on me. I truly appreciate their staff. They ask questions and actually listen to your responses. I have been to other places where they just write prescriptions and send you on your way. Texas Helps is not like that at all. They really care about all of their visitors. They are always professional, as well as polite. I highly recommend them.
