About The Menninger Clinic
Located in Houston, Texas, The Menninger Clinic offers various inpatient and outpatient behavioral health programs, including specialized tracks for substance use disorder (SUD). Each program’s treatment can start with detox and is tailored to each client’s needs and goals.
While Menninger is in network with some major providers for most adolescent services, most of their care is self-pay. Therefore, it’s worth getting in touch to see if you qualify for any form of financial assistance.
The medically-monitored inpatient detox at Menninger provides you with medications for managing uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Once you’re feeling better, you can take part in addiction group therapy and motivational enhancement therapy to help you see why you need to change to give you a solid foundation for recovery.
Treatment for substance use disorder in both residential and outpatient settings will likely include individual counseling, group psychotherapy, recovery groups, and psychoeducational groups. These workshops can help you better understand the nature of addiction. Evidence based approaches, including dialectical (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), help you to understand your faulty beliefs when it comes to drug use, so you can change your thought patterns to promote lasting recovery.
It’s great that the residential programs at the Menninger Clinic offer plenty of time for recreation and relaxation. You can visit the on-campus gym and fitness center for a game of basketball or workout, attend the meditation labyrinth for a moment of calm, or spend time in the non-denominational chapel for some spiritual reflection.
I really appreciate the Bridge Program for adults. It offers an extra step in the continuum of care between residential and outpatient treatment. You’ll still reside in a private room in an inpatient facility, but you’ll have increasing personal responsibility for your own wellness and nutritional choices, resume work tasks, and continue building your recovery skills. You’ll meet with a peer counselor with lived experience, so you can discuss your concerns about leaving treatment and come up with solutions together.
Levels of Care | Detox Service Setting | Programs | Payment Options | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency. |
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction. |
