Our Addiction Treatment Programs in San Antonio: What We Offer
Addiction can affect physical health, mental well-being, relationships, work, finances, and nearly every other part of daily life. For many people, getting away from the circumstances and triggers associated with substance use can make it easier to focus fully on recovery.
At Alamo Behavioral Health, our San Antonio addiction treatment programs provide structure and support in a treatment-focused environment. Care is tailored to each individual’s needs, substance use history, symptoms, and recovery goals.
Our levels of care include:
- Medical detox for individuals who need professional support while withdrawing from drugs or alcohol
- Inpatient rehab and residential treatment for individuals who benefit from 24-hour structure and a substance-free living environment
The appropriate level of treatment depends on several factors. Our team can help assess your situation and explain which options may be suitable.
Medical Detox
For some individuals, detoxification is the first step toward recovery. When the body has become physically dependent on alcohol or certain drugs, suddenly stopping use can cause uncomfortable and, in some cases, potentially serious withdrawal symptoms.
Our medical detox program in San Antonio provides a supervised setting where individuals can be monitored and supported throughout withdrawal.
During medical detox, the treatment team can monitor symptoms, address complications, and provide appropriate medical support to make the withdrawal process safer and more manageable.
Medical detox may be appropriate for individuals withdrawing from substances such as alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other drugs associated with physical dependence.
Detox alone, however, is generally only the beginning of addiction recovery. Once an individual is medically stable, transitioning into continued addiction treatment can help address the behaviors, triggers, and underlying factors associated with substance use.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Alamo Behavioral Health also provides inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in San Antonio for individuals who need a structured environment to focus on recovery. Residential rehab can be beneficial for people who need more support than an outpatient treatment setting can provide.
During residential addiction treatment in San Antonio, clients live in a supportive, substance-free environment and follow a structured treatment schedule. This allows them to dedicate their time and attention to recovery without many of the distractions or triggers they may encounter at home.
Residential treatment may be appropriate for people who:
- Have struggled to stop using drugs or alcohol on their own
- Have experienced repeated relapse
- Need additional structure and accountability during early recovery
- Have a home environment that makes recovery difficult
- Need continued care after completing medical detox
- Would benefit from temporarily stepping away from everyday triggers
Treatment recommendations should be based on each person’s individual circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Types of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) We Treat
Substance use disorders can involve many different drugs, and treatment needs can vary considerably depending on the substance, frequency and duration of use, physical dependence, and other individual factors.
Alamo Behavioral Health provides drug addiction treatment in San Antonio for individuals seeking help with substance use and dependence.

- Opioids
- Alcohol
- Heroin
- Fentanyl

Our team can help determine whether medical detox, residential treatment, or a combination of services may be appropriate based on the individual’s needs.

Alamo Behavioral Health Reviews
Mrs. Roxy is the greatest! She has helped me so much and you can tell she truly cares about us and our recovery! Plus she always has different cool shoes on lol.
Very poor experience. The facility is run down. The air conditioning was broken the entire time. I was told when I arrived that I’d receive one on one counseling sessions twice a week. I only received one session for about 10 minutes. It’s supposed to be for addiction and behavioral health but there is no behavioral health plan in place. The Addiction program was very poorly executed. They had several patients that needed significantly more help than they were able to provide. I would not recommend this facility to anyone.
I'm having serious concerns with the actual help my family member is receiving, if any.
The area under the tallest slides smells terrible! It smells like cat urine otherwise this park has so much potential to be an amazing addition to the community
The staff is amazing and they really helped with my recovery!
Life-Changing Experience – A True 5-Star Facility! Alamo Behavioral Health exceeded every expectation I had. I was hesitant about entering treatment, unsure of what to expect, and overwhelmed by the logistics of taking time off work. From the moment I reached out, their team helped with everything—insurance paperwork, employer leave approvals, and all the calls and follow-ups that I had no idea how to navigate. That alone took a huge weight off my shoulders. The staff here are not only experienced but truly care about you. They are real, honest, and compassionate—no judgment, just support. I always felt safe, and the medical staff was incredibly attentive, answering all my questions and ensuring I was comfortable throughout the process. What really stood out to me was the leadership. The director and office staff were instrumental in easing my fears and making me feel like I belonged. This was my first time seeking treatment, and I can’t overstate how much that initial support meant to me. If you’re even considering making the call—do it. You won’t regret it.
James is truly one of a kind. As the director of a substance treatment center, James goes far beyond the expectations of his title. His presence, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the people he serves is something that money simply can’t buy. You can see the impact he makes in the way clients speak about him, in the hope they carry, and in the strength they find within themselves. James has a rare gift for meeting people exactly where they are, without judgment, and helping them believe that healing and recovery are possible. He’s not just a director — he’s a mentor, a guide, and embodies the essence of recovery. If you or someone you love is struggling and looking for real support from someone who genuinely cares, James and his team are where you’ll find it.
