Religious & Faith-Based Addiction Treatment Programs in Texas

Western medicine is increasingly recognizing the role of spirituality in addiction treatment, with research highlighting the positive impact of faith on health and well-being.¹ In fact, around 73% of addiction treatment programs in the U.S. include a spirituality-based element.¹

For many, faith and spirituality are central to their sense of self, so incorporating religion in recovery can be important. This page will help you learn more about faith-based treatment programs and how to find a religious addiction treatment facility in Texas.

What Are Faith-Based & Religious Addiction Treatment Centers?

Religious rehab centers in Texas provide an alternative to secular rehab programs and incorporate faith and spirituality into their programming.

Faith-based treatment programs vary, but many address the biological, environmental, and psychological factors associated with substance use, just as in secular programs. However, faith-based programs also often emphasize:²

• Deepening your spirituality.
• Embracing religious values that support recovery.
• Engaging in prosocial behaviors like community volunteering.
• Learning to seek guidance from a higher power.
• Building a strong support system within your religious community.

Types of Faith-Based Addiction Recovery Programs in Texas

Each person seeking treatment for drugs or alcohol has specific needs. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), for treatment to be successful, the interventions, services, and setting should align with a person’s unique needs.³

Religious drug and alcohol rehab programs are available at all levels of care, including detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, and aftercare. Read more about these programs below.

Detox in Religious Drug & Alcohol Rehab Programs

Medical detox is the first step in recovery for many people. In a medical detox program, professional staff monitor and manage withdrawal symptoms to help keep a person as comfortable and safe as possible.⁴ While not everyone seeking treatment requires medical detox, it is often recommended for those experiencing alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal or those with co-occurring mental or physical health conditions, as these can increase the risk of complications.⁴

Similar to secular programs, faith-based addiction programs often provide medical detox to ensure a safe and supportive start to recovery. These programs may incorporate spiritual elements such as guidance from chaplains, prayer or religious services, and strategies to maintain a strong spiritual connection during withdrawal.

Inpatient Treatment in Religious Drug & Alcohol Rehab Programs

Inpatient addiction treatment often includes a combination of behavioral therapy, counseling, and FDA-approved medications (as needed) to help people address the underlying causes that may have contributed to substance use.⁵ Inpatient treatment takes place in a facility staffed 24 hours a day by a multidisciplinary team of medical and psychiatric professionals.⁵ Inpatient treatment programs focus on providing group and individual counseling, which can help people learn to manage cravings, prevent relapse, and improve life skills.⁵ These programs also typically treat co-occurring mental or physical health conditions that, if untreated, can make recovery more difficult.⁵

Faith-based addiction treatment programs are often similar to secular programs, but integrate spirituality into the recovery process. This may include faith-centered support groups, pastoral counseling, prayer, scripture study, and worship services. These programs encourage individuals to draw strength from their faith, build a deeper spiritual connection, and use religious principles to support long-term recovery.

Outpatient Treatment in Religious Drug & Alcohol Rehab Programs

Outpatient addiction treatment programs allow individuals to receive care while living at home, offering different levels of support based on their needs.⁵ Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), also known as day treatment, provide 4 to 8 hours of daily care in a clinic or hospital setting for at least three months.⁵ These programs are best for individuals with a stable home environment who need intensive support. Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) require 9 to 20 hours of treatment per week and typically last two months to a year, allowing participants to receive structured therapy while continuing work or school.⁵

Aftercare & Ongoing Recovery Support

Rehab aftercare provides ongoing support when a formal treatment program ends and is designed to help individuals maintain recovery and prevent relapse.⁶ Aftercare programs can take place at a treatment facility or may be community-run. Aftercare activities vary but may include:⁷

• Mutual aid groups (such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Smart Recovery groups).
• Regular check-ins with a doctor.
• Individual or group counseling.
• Sober living facilities.

Does Health Insurance Cover Religious Rehab Programs in Texas?

Health insurance may cover faith-based rehab programs in Texas, but coverage depends on your specific plan. Many religious treatment centers accept private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. You can determine your coverage by contacting your insurance provider to verify in-network options and out-of-pocket costs.

While using health insurance to pay for rehab is typically the most cost-effective way payment method, there are options available for those without coverage. Many private facilities offer payment plans, while non-profit, faith-based, and government-funded programs may provide sliding scale fees based on income.

Faith-based addiction treatment centers differ in how they comply with federal and state regulations. If you’re considering a specific facility, check with your insurance provider to verify coverage or get recommendations for in-network options. It’s a good idea to contact the facility directly to explore your options.

Cost of Religious Addiction Treatment Programs in Texas

The cost of addiction treatment varies widely depending on several factors, such as:⁸

• Insurance coverage: Private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare may cover some or all treatment costs if deemed medically necessary. Texas Medicaid may cover rehab if faith-based programs meet state requirements, while Medicare covers inpatient and outpatient care. Out-of-network religious rehabs may have limited or no coverage, with costs depending on copays, deductibles, and network status.
• Type of rehab: Facilities range from government-funded to private and luxury rehabs, with high-end programs offering more amenities at a higher cost.
• Level of care: Costs vary based on inpatient, outpatient, or combined treatment plans.
