What levels of care does Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse - Coastal Bend offer?

Can Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse - Coastal Bend handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Corpus Christi send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Does Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse - Coastal Bend offer medication for addiction?
No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Corpus Christi offers it.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.
Can a mental health condition be treated at the same time?
Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.
Is there anything for the family?
There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.
