Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Detox San Antonio, Texas

Compare licensed programs on three fronts: insurance coverage, payment plans/sliding‑scale, and publicly funded Texas services. Texas Health & Human Services (HHSC) pays for Withdrawal Management (detox) and follow-up treatment for eligible adults. This can help reduce costs a lot.

Yes, Marketplace plans must cover mental health and substance use disorder services. These are essential health benefits. Federal rules say that substance use disorder benefits cannot be more restrictive than medical benefits. Your out‑of‑pocket costs depend on your plan, network, and authorization rules.

Call the member number on your card—or ask the admissions team to check for you. Request details on detox/withdrawal management coverage, in‑network status, prior authorization, and your estimated copay/coinsurance. (Keep the reference number from the call.)

Many providers can arrange installment plans, self‑pay discounts, or sliding‑scale pricing. If you qualify, HHSC‑funded services can offset or cover costs.

Yes. HHSC administers federally supported SUD programs—including Withdrawal Management, residential, outpatient, and recovery supports—through local providers across Texas (including Bexar County/San Antonio).

It’s a doctor-led withdrawal management program. It checks your vital signs, treats symptoms, and uses medications when needed. It also plans your next steps in care. National guidance emphasizes that detox alone isn’t treatment—it’s the first step in recovery.

The duration of timelines depends on the substance and individual health history. Alcohol usually takes about 3 to 7 days to clear, but it can take longer in severe cases.

You will have planned appointments for health evaluations. These visits will include monitoring symptoms and medications if needed. We will also plan for your safety.

Finally, we will help you transition into ongoing treatment, like IOP, outpatient, or residential care. Texas defines these services as Withdrawal Management and regulates facilities that provide them. Q: What levels of care exist in addiction treatment?

Providers use the ASAM Criteria to match your needs to different levels of care. This includes outpatient withdrawal management, inpatient programs, and residential programs. They also offer IOP and outpatient services for ongoing therapy and medications.

The best results occur when detox leads straight into rehab. This can be residential, PHP, or IOP. It also includes medications for SUD when needed, therapy, peer support, and a practical plan to prevent relapse.

Many programs offer dual‑diagnosis care (SUD + mental health). State‑supported services include counseling, case management, and peer support in addition to medical care.

Clinicians may use benzodiazepines for severe alcohol withdrawal. For opioid use disorder, they may use buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone, along with supportive medications.

If you’re experiencing withdrawal or are at risk, call immediately. Programs prioritize medical necessity, and statewide resources (plus the SAMHSA Helpline) can direct you to immediate openings.

Detox safely manages withdrawal; rehab builds the skills, supports, and medication plan you need for long‑term recovery. Both are important, but they serve different purposes.

Coverage varies by plan and provider. Both Medicaid and Medicare cover many SUD services when medically necessary; confirm the setting, authorization, and network details during benefits verification.
