South Texas Rural Health Services Inc Carrizo Springs Wellness Center

The Carrizo Springs Wellness Center delivers structured outpatient programs Monday through Friday, allowing participants to maintain employment and family responsibilities while receiving professional addiction treatment. Their outpatient approach serves individuals who have completed residential treatment and need ongoing support, as well as those beginning their recovery journey in a community-based setting.

Dual diagnosis capabilities mean clients receive integrated treatment for both substance abuse and mental health conditions. This comprehensive approach prevents the revolving door of treating only one condition while ignoring co-occurring disorders that often fuel addiction cycles.

Operating across seven Texas counties, the center addresses a critical gap in rural addiction treatment access. La Salle, Dimmit, Zavala, Real, Uvalde, Medina, and Maverick counties all receive services from this centrally located facility, eliminating the need for rural residents to travel hundreds of miles for professional care.

The multi-county service model recognizes that rural communities often lack local treatment infrastructure. By establishing a hub in Carrizo Springs, the center creates a recovery community that draws from multiple counties while maintaining the close-knit feel essential for long-term sobriety support.

Treatment programs accommodate adolescents, adults, and seniors, recognizing that addiction affects all age groups differently. Adolescent services address developmental considerations unique to young people, while senior programming accounts for medical complexities and social factors affecting older adults in recovery.

The center specifically welcomes LGBTQ+ individuals and veterans, populations that often face additional barriers in rural areas. TRICARE acceptance ensures veterans can access care without financial obstacles, while LGBTQ+ inclusive services create safe spaces in regions where such support may be limited.

TRICARE insurance and cash payment options provide flexibility for different financial situations. The center operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with weekend closure allowing staff to maintain work-life balance while clients focus on family and community connections during off-treatment days.

The consistent weekday schedule supports participants who are employed or returning to work as part of their recovery process. Regular business hours also accommodate family members who want to participate in treatment planning and support activities.
