San Antonio Recovery Center Alumni and Outpatient Services

San Antonio Recovery Center (SARC) of San Antonio, Texas, is a Joint Commission accredited substance abuse rehab center. They provide general outpatient programs (OP), co-occurring disorder treatment, and aftercare services to adults. They have three locations in San Antonio, some of which provide residential treatment as well.

OP is described as a low intensity level of care because, unlike residential or inpatient treatment, clients aren’t made to live at the facility during treatment. While this does require clients to be committed to making appointments, the trade off is that they have more freedom than those restrictive higher levels of care. For example, clients in OP can continue to attend work and carry on with other responsibilities.

OP at SARC is comprised of daily appointments, which may feature individual, group, and family therapy. Clients who demonstrate stability can enter into OP directly, but it can also serve as continuing care for those exiting a residential program.

SARC has an extensive aftercare program to help program graduates stay connected with others in recovery. Of note is their sober living housing program, which gives graduates a sober living space where they can practice their new recovery skills before returning home.
