Audie L Murphy Memorial Veterans Hosp

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in San Antonio is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near San Antonio offers one at all.

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in San Antonio send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

There are 8 more within a short drive of San Antonio, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in San Antonio that often means one room rather than two.

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.

Documents and medication first. Everything else is a comfort question. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
