ABOUT BAPTIST HOSPITALS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS
Serving the southeastern region of Texas, Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas provides “quality health services in a Christian environment”, according to its website, at seven different locations that include hospitals, cancer centers, and family medicine centers.
The organization’s behavioral health center, located on the campus of Beaumont Hospital, provides inpatient and outpatient treatment for individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders. Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas also offers medically managed detox services on-site, one of only 44 facilities in Texas to offer this service.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The detox program provides 24-hour nursing care with medical interventions whenever necessary, as well as an introduction to the 12-step model of recovery. Patients also participate in individual, group, and family therapy, as well as attend educational sessions on any relevant medications and substance use.
Once stable, staff help patients to find appropriate venues for continuing care, which may include inpatient or outpatient-based treatment. Candidates for medical detox must admit themselves voluntarily, and pregnant women cannot be accommodated for detoxification.
The center’s inpatient program combines individual, group, and family therapy with activity therapies designed to improve concentration and help patients deal with stress. Planning for discharge and aftercare is another integral part of the inpatient program.
The behavioral health unit also offers a six-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) that consists of three-hour sessions, thee times per week, all of them offered in the evening. The IOP combines individual, group, and family therapy with 12-step participation and education about substance dependency. There is also a continuing care component to the program. Relapse prevention training is included in the six-week program, and clients may attend up to a year of aftercare services, as well as receive a discharge plan and alumni support.
