About Alamo Behavioral Health
Alamo Behavioral Health is a residential addiction and mental health treatment center located at 8915 New World Drive in San Antonio, Texas, serving Bexar County and the broader San Antonio area. The facility operates around the clock — 24 hours a day — and addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions, including depressive and anxiety disorders, trauma, and personality disorders. For individuals in acute withdrawal or crisis, the availability of on-site medical detox is the critical first step this center provides.
The facility offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. Medical detox is the entry point for individuals who need clinically supervised withdrawal management before transitioning to longer-term treatment. Residential treatment allows patients to remain on-site for extended structured care, and the outpatient program supports those stepping down from a higher level or entering treatment without requiring overnight placement. Medication-assisted therapy is among the confirmed treatment methods, supporting patients through the detox and recovery process.
The clinical approach at Alamo Behavioral Health incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and psychotherapy. Conditions treated span a wide range, including alcohol addiction, benzodiazepine addiction, opioid addiction, fentanyl addiction, heroin addiction, meth addiction, and stimulant addiction, as well as co-occurring disorders such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The breadth of conditions treated reflects a program designed to address the full clinical picture — not addiction in isolation.
Alamo Behavioral Health serves a notably broad population, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. TRICARE is accepted alongside major commercial insurers including United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, as well as self-pay options. For San Antonio residents weighing same-day or urgent admission decisions, the combination of 24-hour availability, medical detox capability, and wide insurance acceptance makes this a facility worth contacting directly.
