About Laurel Ridge Treatment Center
Laurel Ridge Treatment Center is a 330-bed behavioral healthcare hospital on a 29-acre campus in North Central San Antonio, Texas, providing specialized behavioral and addiction care since 1987. The facility supports a broad continuum of care that includes adult inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), virtual IOP, and dedicated tracks for children, adolescents, military members, active duty service members, and veterans. The campus also houses the University of Texas Charter School, a gymnasium, multipurpose room, recreational facility, playgrounds, swimming pool, ROPES course, and dining area — features that support extended stays for younger patients and structured day programming for adults.
For substance use, Laurel Ridge offers medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient programming, and intensive outpatient (IOP), allowing patients to enter at the level matching their clinical needs and step down as they stabilize. Cognitive behavioral therapy is among the evidence-based methods used, and the hospital also offers electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for patients whose mental health conditions are best addressed with that treatment. Specialty therapeutic services and a virtual IOP option round out the service mix, broadening access for patients across Central Texas.
Laurel Ridge serves a wide population — adolescents, young adults (18–25), adults, veterans, active-duty military, men, women, and Deaf or hard-of-hearing patients — and addresses co-occurring trauma and dual-diagnosis presentations. The hospital is Joint Commission accredited and accepts a wide range of payer types, including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay, with active assistance for re-enrollment in Texas Medicaid when needed.
Families and patients can begin admission through Laurel Ridge’s intake team. Because the hospital covers a wide range of behavioral and addiction needs across ages and military status, an intake call is typically the most efficient way to identify the right program track at this San Antonio campus.
