West Texas Counseling and Rehabilitation Program

About West Texas Counseling and Rehabilitation Program – San Angelo, Texas

West Texas Counseling and Rehabilitation Programs (WTCR) has 10 locations across Texas, including the one on South Irving Place in San Angelo. The WTCR is accredited by The Joint Commission and they treat opioid use disorder and dual diagnosis.

Many people with opioid use disorder have co-occurring mental health issues. It’s as important to treat your mental health issues as your substance use disorder. It’s usually underlying issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia that drive you to use drugs in the first place.

You may have had a bad injury and ended up with chemical dependency from taking doctor-prescribed pain medicine. Whatever the trigger, it’s important to get that figured out so you can learn better ways of coping with your pain, be it physical or emotional.

If you’re worried about how to pay for treatment, the center takes Medicare and Medicaid. They also accept many types of insurance coverage. If you’re uninsured, you may qualify for financial assistance or even free treatment that’s offered by some state assistance programs.

The program uses evidence-based treatment to help you wean from the opioids. The treatments include methadone and buprenorphine. This is called opiate agonist therapy (OAT) and reduces your body’s craving for opioids while preventing withdrawal symptoms. OAT allows you to get back to your life because you won’t feel the need to use opiates. Because OAT uses long acting drugs, you won’t feel high either.

While in the program, you’ll have counseling to help you understand the triggers causing your opiate use. You’ll work on restructuring your thinking so you can change your behaviors. You’ll meet with licensed counselors as you work through your written treatment plan.

At some point, you may have a medically supervised withdrawal from your OAT therapy. However, many people stay on treatment lifelong. That’s something you’ll decide with your doctor and counselor.
