Substance Use Disorder Treatment
About Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services
Tri-County offers person-centered, trauma informed services focused on the promotion of sustained recovery from substance use and enhanced quality of life for the individuals we serve. In doing so, we utilize various therapeutic modalities and interventions while adhering to our empirically validated, evidence-based curriculum with proven outcomes.
Treatment Interventions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts affect our feelings and behaviors, not external factors, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this therapy is that when individuals are able to modify their thoughts about a situation, their feelings can subsequently change for the better even if the situation itself does not change.
Trauma Informed Care (TIC)
Trauma informed care takes a holistic approach in providing individualized services tailored to the individuals’ respective trauma history and subsequent coping mechanisms.
Motivational Interviewing
A psychotherapeutic approach that attempts to move an individual away from a state of indecision or uncertainty and towards finding motivation to making positive change and accomplishing established goals (Hettema et al., 2005).
Seeking Safety
Seeking Safety is an evidence-based treatment model that treats the co-occurring diagnoses of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Substance Use Disorder.
Adult Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program
Our adult substance use treatment team works with both male and female clients, age 18 and older, who are struggling with substance use issues and not requiring more intensive services, such as detoxification or residential treatment, and is open to residents of the following counties: Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Walker, Waller, and Wharton. We accept Medicaid, private insurance, and have additional funding through Texas Health and Human Services Commission to serve individuals without insurance coverage.
Our Programs
Intensive Outpatient Treatment
Intensive outpatient treatment is ten to twelve weeks in duration and consists of the following: 3x/weekly client education and counseling groups, individual counseling, family education and counseling groups, individualized treatment planning, and Case Management. Participants in the program are randomly drug tested on a regular basis to ensure compliance and safety for all. Treatment follows the state-approved Evidence-Based Matrix Model. Groups are offered during both day and evening hours to accommodate various scheduling needs.
Co-Occurring Psychiatric and Substance Abuse Disorders Program (COPSD)
Individuals with a mental health diagnosis who are also seeking substance use disorder treatment may elect to enroll in Tri-County’s Co-Occurring Psychiatric and Substance Abuse Disorders program, also known as COPSD. Co-Occurring simply means that an individual is experiencing both a mental health and substance use disorder at the same time. Although COPSD is provided as an adjunct service, individuals do not have to be enrolled in the Intensive Outpatient Program in order to obtain COPSD services. COPSD provides clinical assessment, treatment planning, individual counseling, education, and Case Management to ensure each individual is effective in utilizing a variety of community resources to enhance treatment outcomes.
