Residential addiction treatment at Texas Helps provides the structure, clinical oversight, and separation from daily triggers that many people need to stabilize and begin long-term recovery. Our residential treatment center in San Marcos, TX is designed for individuals who require more support than outpatient treatment can provide.
If relapse has been recurring, or substance use is affecting your mental health, relationships, or daily functioning, residential treatment may be an appropriate next step.
What Is Residential Addiction Treatment?
Residential addiction treatment is a structured, live-in level of care in which individuals stay on-site while receiving therapy, clinical oversight, and recovery support. This setting allows individuals to step away from daily stressors and focus fully on treatment in a substance-free environment.
Residential treatment is sometimes referred to as inpatient or live-in rehab, as these terms are often used interchangeably in addiction care. However, programs may differ in focus depending on clinical needs and treatment goals.
Unlike outpatient programs, residential treatment provides consistent structure, supervision, and support throughout the day—reducing exposure to triggers and helping individuals build stability before returning to daily life.
Residential treatment in Texas may be clinically recommended for individuals who:
- Have experienced relapse after outpatient care
- Have co-occurring mental health conditions
- Need consistent structure and accountability
- Require a safe, substance-free environment
This level of care focuses on addressing underlying behavioral, emotional, and psychological factors that contribute to addiction—not only substance use itself.

Residential Treatment vs. Inpatient Rehab: Understanding the Difference
The terms residential treatment and inpatient rehab are often used interchangeably, but they can reflect different treatment priorities depending on the program.
Residential treatment programs often emphasize:
- Therapeutic depth
- Emotional and behavioral change
- Development of long-term recovery skills
Inpatient rehab programs may place greater emphasis on:
- Short-term medical stabilization
- Acute withdrawal management
At Texas Helps, our residential treatment program integrates therapeutic intensity with appropriate clinical oversight—supporting both stabilization and long-term recovery planning.
Our Accreditations
How to Start Residential Treatment in Texas
Many individuals begin treatment with medical detox, particularly when substances such as alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines are involved.
Step 1: Medical Detox
Medical detox allows the body to safely withdraw from substances under professional supervision. Detox alone is not treatment, but it prepares individuals physically and mentally for residential care.
Step 2: Residential Treatment
After detox, clients transition into residential treatment, where therapy programs, skill-building, and recovery planning begin.
An individualized treatment plan may include:
- Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions focused on identifying triggers, trauma, and behavioral patterns.
- Group Counseling
Structured group therapy that provides support, shared experience, and accountability through daily recovery activities.
- Medication Management
Texas Helps offers MAT Program, when clinically appropriate, medications may be used to support cravings or co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Relapse Prevention Planning
Relapse Prevention Plan is practical strategies for managing stress, cravings, and high-risk situations after treatment.
- Family Therapy
Family Therapy Program Texas Helps Support for improving communication and rebuilding trust with loved ones when appropriate.
Treatment plans are adjusted based on clinical needs and progress—not fixed schedules.

- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

- Person-Centered Therapy

Therapies are selected and adjusted through ongoing clinical assessment.
How Long Is Residential Treatment in Texas?
Residential treatment length varies because recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Most residential rehab programs in Texas fall into one of the following ranges:
- Around 30 days – Often used for stabilization and early recovery
- Around 60 days – Allows more time to address underlying patterns and build coping skills
- Around 90 days or longer – Frequently recommended for individuals with long-term substance use, multiple relapses, or co-occurring mental health conditions
The right length of stay is determined through a clinical assessment, not guesswork. Factors like substance use history, mental health needs, treatment response, and long-term recovery goals all play a role.
Choosing a longer stay isn’t about failure—it’s often about giving recovery the time it actually needs to work.
