Frequently Asked Questions

When you call, we will conduct a confidential phone assessment. This assessment will help us determine if Origins is the most appropriate treatment center for you or your loved one. Our compassionate team will answer any of your questions to ensure that we can best meet your individual needs. If Origins is not a fit for you or your family, we will work with our team to find an appropriate facility that can meet your needs.

We do provide financial options for every patient so that they may enroll in our recovery treatment as soon as possible. Every moment counts in addiction treatment, so please call our intake counselors and ask them about your treatment options. Once you know which treatment will work best for you, our financial advisor will help you plan out your finances and look into insurance verifications. Most insurances are accepted at Origins.

When you call us, you will be assigned an Admission Specialist who is responsible for overseeing your entire journey. You will not be passed between staff members. We understand that talking about addiction and your personal life can be uncomfortable and difficult. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible, from your first call and throughout your entire stay.

Often, the person suffering from addiction is the last one to become aware that they need help. Addiction is a disease, and denial is a hallmark trait afflicting those who are suffering. Our Admissions Specialists can work with families and loved ones to determine if a professional intervention may be beneficial. We understand that confronting a loved one about their addiction is one of the hardest things you will have to do. Keep in mind, even in these situations, recovery is still possible.

It is a common misconception that people cannot or will not recover “unless they are really willing and have hit their own bottom.” Fortunately, there is evidence-based data that suggests outcomes are similar for people who complete treatment, regardless of what got them into treatment (court, intervention, etc.).

The cost of residential care includes detox, psychiatric care, medical care staffed with round the clock nurses, services provided at our Center for Brain Recovery, individual therapies, housing, and meals. Speak with an Admissions Specialist for specifics regarding cost and insurance options. We work with most insurance policies.

Origins offers onsite medically supervised inpatient detoxification, which is included as the first phase of the treatment process. All medical needs and detoxification protocols will be assessed by Origins’ extensive medical team. We strive to make each detox process as safe and comfortable as possible.

At Origins, we know that addiction and alcoholism are family diseases that can affect the entire family system. Our goal is to heal the whole family. Families are encouraged to participate in our four-day Family Program, which combines education, support, and therapeutic interaction with the patient as well as with other families. After admission, our Family Program team will call to discuss Family Program options and dates.

Yes. Many men and women suffering from addiction also suffer from co-occurring mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorders. These common co-occurring conditions must be treated at the same time as addiction. Origins Texas Recovery provides psychiatric evaluation, assessments, and medication management as well as fully integrated psychological therapy and counseling services.

Absolutely! At Origins, our psychiatrist treats co-occurring mental health disorders as well as substance use disorders. Our team communicates daily in multidisciplinary meetings, during which each patient’s case is reviewed for progress and setbacks by all professionals treating them. We work to get ahead of any stumbling blocks and assure that the patient receives the best resources to meet their needs.

Treatment at Origins Recovery Center is based on the 12-Step paradigm and coupled with evidence-based clinical therapies, medical treatments, and spiritual care. We treat the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

both Origins Recovery and Hannah’s House are located on beautiful resort-grade campuses on South Padre Island, TX. With access to plenty of outdoor open spaces, these welcoming, gender-separate residences offer ample meeting areas, as well as comfortable spaces to quietly relax.

The men’s only facility is situated around a tropical courtyard where patients also have access to a large pool and onsite gym. This facility is located steps from the beach.

The women’s-only facility is on the beach and boasts a wraparound porch where you can enjoy evening sunsets over the water.

We know that transitioning into active recovery outside of treatment can be jarring for many patients, but we do our very best to offer you every possible coping skill and tool to be successful. Upon discharge from your residential treatment program, we offer every patient a list of aftercare treatment services to extend their outpatient care or partial hospitalization. Our aftercare services are adaptable, and plans are created custom for each patient. We offer counseling, 12-step programs, family counseling services, relapse prevention and life skills courses.

Origins’ Alumni Care Coordinators begins working on aftercare plans well before discharge. Additionally, we offer a lifetime of support through our Alumni Services team. We host workshops in various cities nationwide, and also offer an annual Alumni Reunion celebration on South Padre Island, TX each October.

Origins specializes in evidence-based, innovative gender-separate programming for men and women. We excel at treating co-occurring mental health conditions using a trauma-informed approach, and we provide quality medical care during detox and throughout treatment. Together, we target the key areas that keep clients from lasting recovery. Our team addresses concerns that are individually unique to the male or female experience, such as school and work troubles, toxic relationships, a failure to launch into adulthood, marriage troubles, and trauma.
