West Oaks Hospital

About West Oaks Hospital – Houston

West Oaks Hospital is a clinical alcohol and drug treatment facility in Houston, Texas. They are a 160 bed psychiatric bed facility, with 16 beds reserved for adults seeking substance abuse treatment. They serve adults in a medical setting with modern, comfortable amenities.

The team and facility are equipped to provide a full continuum of care, from detox services to alum support. They offer no cost assessments for curious applicants.

Some clients will be required to undergo detox before entering treatment. This ensures that toxic substances are removed from their system before they begin treatment. Detox is overseen by a team of medical professionals who offer support and comfort during the process, tending to the needs of each client.

The residential program allows clients to live at the facility while they are receiving care. The facility provides everything they need, including meals and a room, so that they can focus their attention on the recovery process. The length of the inpatient program varies.

In addition to 24 hour nursing, clients in the inpatient program work with their care team to develop their treatment plan. West Oaks Hospital combines 12 step recovery programs, individual and group therapy, relapse prevention education, and life skill development. Clients act as peer support to help one another through recovery.

The outpatient day program offers the same model of care as the inpatient program, but it does not require clients to live on campus. Instead, they meet at the facility on a regular schedule to meet with their care team and engage in group and individual treatment. Outpatient is ideal for those who are stable enough not to require full time care, but it can also be used by those leaving the inpatient program as a transitional step.

Following program completion, the care team will help devise a course of action for clients to follow once they leave. Aftercare includes connecting to community support resources and introduction to the ongoing alum support program.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

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.

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.

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.
