Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Eligibility:

• Substance abuse/dependence
• Adolescents 13-17 years of age
• Adults age 18 and over
• Court mandated
• Private pay and medically indigent

We accept:

• Superior
• Community First

We also do a sliding scale for those in need. Call us for rates and information.

Supportive Outpatient Programs (SOP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between supportive outpatient treatment (SOP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Eligibility:

• Substance abuse/dependence
• Adolescents 13-17 years of age
• Adults age 18 and over
• Court mandated
• Private pay and medically indigent

We accept: 

• Superior

Crosspoint operates an outpatient clinic licensed for addictions treatment and staffed with licensed mental health professionals, as well. The clinic is located adjacent in the Austin-Cullum Outpatient Center in the east wing of The Summit.

The Austin-Cullum Outpatient Center provides trauma-informed mental health and addictions services to Veterans, their families and care-givers through a Texas HHS-funded grant. The Veterans and Family program also serves active duty military and the grant includes services for Veterans with less than honorable discharges as well as those who only wore the uniform for a short time. This outpatient center also provides free counseling services to residents of District 2 who can benefit from supportive brief intervention counseling. Crosspoint also contracts with a psychiatrist who provides services to referrals from the U.S. Probation Office.

Please call 210-549-4730 or 210-913-2216 to make a referral over the phone. This call can be made by the client, the CPS officer, a treatment counselor, or even a family member.

The Behavioral Health Diversion Program provides 24/7 residential support with embedded outpatient treatment services for men with co-occurring disorders in need of post-crisis stabilization or early justice system intervention (diversion).

Crosspoint’s program serves adults with mental health disorders, substance abuse disorders or co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. All participants reside at Crosspoint for a period ranging from 60 to 120 days (up to 210 persons served per year).

Mental health services are rendered on-site by Crosspoint licensed clinicians and a part-time contractual psychiatrist. For those residents needing services elsewhere in the community and/or as part of the discharge process, Crosspoint staff facilitates referrals to external providers. When a partner delivers behavioral health care, Case Managers regularly communicate with treatment staff to solve problems, ensure retention in treatment, reduce challenges to completion and eliminate service duplication.

In Crosspoint’s experience, most members of the target population will be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless; therefore our Case Managers help participants secure stable housing that supports a pro-social lifestyle prior to program release.

Men only.

Must have a mental health disorder, substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders.

Clients in need of step-down services can be referred by hospital social workers associated with the Southwest Texas Crisis Collaborative. Those individuals who are criminal justice system involved due to behavioral health issues can be referred by Central Magistration (pretrial) or Specialty Courts.

Our program’s mission is to provide the tools and support necessary for our clients to achieve lasting sobriety. We do so with a safe, comfortable, and compassionate environment that empowers each client to focus on their own recovery.

The screenings and assessments conducted prior to admission help determine what level of care is recommended to each client who enters our program. Clients who are determined to be both eligible and appropriate for the Intensive Outpatient level of care can expect to receive 3 hours of treatment up to 3-4 times each week for a minimum of 8 weeks. This drug treatment program in San Antonio is designed to help each individual reach their long term recovery needs.

Individual qualifications usually include those who do not require detoxification and have a support system that allows them to adhere to the intensive treatment schedule.
