About Alamo Behavioral Health

Alamo Behavioral Health is a residential treatment center in San Antonio, Texas, providing medical detox and inpatient care for adults facing substance use disorders, mental health conditions, or both. They build their program around fellowship and a supportive community, pairing evidence-based therapies with individualized treatment plans. Every patient begins with medically supervised detox, with support for withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, heroin, meth, and benzodiazepines such as Xanax. They then move into a structured residential stay that typically lasts 30 to 90 days, depending on their needs, with daily therapy and round-the-clock staff.

Core therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and individual and group sessions. Medication-assisted treatment is available for alcohol, opioid, and stimulant use, using options such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram, and medical staff decide during admission whether medication is appropriate. Dual diagnosis care addresses conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD alongside addiction, while trauma-informed care is guided by a Certified Trauma Professional on staff. They also run a dedicated track for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families that focuses on PTSD and the return to civilian life, and they involve loved ones through an educational family group, a family session before discharge, and aftercare planning with a therapist.
