About South Texas VA Health Care System Shavano Park VA Clinic

In the early stages of recovery it can be challenging to know where to begin. They will assist you with developing a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. This will be completed with an intake coordinator to discuss your options and what will be beneficial for you.
Outpatient treatment provides flexibility to still maintain your prior commitments and show up for treatment sessions. Individual therapy will give you a chance to discuss personal matters and allow you to be vulnerable, open and honest about what you are dealing with privately without the fear of being judged or misunderstood. They will introduce you to holistic therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. These therapies will help you identify areas you can work on and develop healthier skills to maintain a life of sobriety. Sessions focus on managing anger, learning how to regulate heightened emotions, processing grief and gaining self resilience.
Couples therapy can help you discuss things that could have been causing issues in your relationship. This presents an opportunity for your loved one to gain a better understanding of addiction, and this gives them a chance to open and be vocal about what they have experienced. This can help you both rebuild trust, develop better communication skills and strengthen intimacy.
Social services available here can connect you to local and community resources. Employment search assistance, housing placement and financial resources are also some of the areas in which they can provide support.
