How We Treat

Treatment at Banyan Texas begins with a thorough clinical assessment to understand a patient’s history, symptoms, and treatment goals. This approach allows our multidisciplinary staff to develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects each person’s unique needs.

Clients follow a structured schedule that may include:

• Individual therapy
• Group therapy and support groups
• Trauma-informed counseling
• Medication management
• Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT
• Psychoeducation
• Skills training and relapse-prevention planning

This blend of therapeutic services addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction and mental illness. With clinical staff on-site, patients receive the support needed to stabilize, strengthen coping skills, and build lasting recovery.

Medical Detox

For individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms or physical dependence, medical detox offers 24/7 medical supervision and medication-assisted support to help manage symptoms safely and comfortably. This level of care focuses on stabilization while closely monitoring physical and emotional well-being. Treatment plans vary by location and individual needs, ensuring each person receives appropriate, personalized care before transitioning into the next phase of treatment.

Residential Treatment – Substance Use

Residential substance use treatment provides a highly structured, immersive level of care in a supportive, therapeutic environment. Individuals participate in daily individual and group therapy, receive ongoing clinical supervision, and develop coping skills to address the underlying causes of addiction. This level of care allows clients to step away from daily stressors and focus fully on building a strong foundation for long-term recovery.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

The Partial Hospitalization Program offers intensive, structured treatment during the day while allowing individuals to return home or to a supportive living environment in the evenings. PHP serves as a step down from residential care or a higher level of support than outpatient treatment, providing frequent therapy sessions, clinical oversight, and skill-building while encouraging greater independence and real-world application of recovery tools.

Telehealth Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Telehealth IOP is a flexible, fully online treatment option designed for individuals who need structured, ongoing support without attending in-person care. This program includes scheduled group therapy, individual sessions, and continued clinical guidance, all delivered securely from the comfort and privacy of home. Telehealth IOP allows individuals to balance recovery with work, family, or personal responsibilities while staying connected to comprehensive care.
