About Oceans Behavioral Hospital – Abilene

Oceans Behavioral Hospital is a dual diagnosis mental health and substance use disorder treatment center for adults and adolescents, located in Abilene, Texas. The center also provides case management, family support, and referrals.

Addiction services at Oceans Behavioral Hospital include mental health assessments and counseling, dual diagnosis residential treatment, intensive outpatient addiction treatment, and a partial hospitalization program.

Mental Health Assessment & Counseling
Assessments help determine an individual’s mental health, severity of addiction, and the presence of any co-occurring disorders. This information is used to devise an individualized treatment plan, which may include individual, group, and family counseling.

Dual Diagnosis Addiction & Mental Health Treatment
Oceans Behavioral Hospital uses evidence-based practices to treat addiction and mental health diagnoses in adults aged 18 to 54 and adolescents aged 12 to 17. Treatment involves a comprehensive mental health assessment and individualized plan of care, daily medical monitoring, peer support groups, schooling for adolescents, individual and group therapy, family counseling, prolonged exposure therapy, and comprehensive discharge planning.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Intensive outpatient programs are suited to individuals who require addiction treatment but do not need 24-hour medical supervision. Program participants attend individual and group treatment sessions for improved coping skills, peer support, and recovery support meetings. Sessions are held three to four days per week.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP participants attend individual and group sessions five to seven days per week. PHP may be best suited to dual diagnosis treatments and acute substance use disorders.

Levels of Care

24-Hour Clinical Care

24 hour clinical care provides close medical supervision for individuals in the early stages of recovery. Medical professionals monitor individuals around the clock for complications and provide immediate intervention when needed.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
