About Border Region Behavioral Health Center
Border Region Behavioral Health Center in Hebbronville, Jim Hogg County, Texas is one of a few nonprofit, tax exempt locations contracted by the state to provide mental and behavioral health services to locals. Support is available to adults aged 18 and older regardless of gender, race or background. They accept Medicaid and Medicare and offer sliding scale and discounted fees for those eligible.
The center’s behavioral services support individuals with dual diagnosis mental health conditions who may also be struggling with substance abuse. Before beginning treatment, all clients will be screened either in a 1:1 session or over the phone to determine whether further assessment is needed. The assessment then allows the team to establish which level of care would be most suitable to best support the individual.
For those experiencing an acute emotional episode, crisis intervention services are available to stabilize individuals and support their transition to further care. Peer support services offer clients a sense of community and accountability while case management services support individuals in getting the medical, social, vocational, educational, legal or specialized substance abuse services they need to improve their current situation.
Clients may also access individual, group and family therapy services using cognitive behavioral therapy to help support them with day-to-day life and any difficult mental health symptoms they may be experiencing.
This center is also a certified provider of both the official state Drug Offender Education Program and the DWI Education Course. The former consists of five three hour classes while the latter consists of three four hour classes. The Offender Education Program teaches individuals about the dangers of drug abuse and its effects and helps participants assess their own abusive patterns.
This way, they can develop a plan for positive lifestyle changes to avoid future illegal behaviors. Similarly, the DWI program relates more to the effect drugs and alcohol have on driving skills, but also encourages participants to look at their own behavior and establish a plan to avoid future DWI behavior.
