About Texas Helps
Texas Helps, formerly Evoke Wellness, provides gender-specific detox and residential addiction treatment in San Marcos, Texas, between Austin and San Antonio. The program treats alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, cocaine, and polysubstance use, along with co-occurring mental health conditions. Care is accredited by the Joint Commission and certified by LegitScript. Every client starts with a full clinical evaluation that shapes an individual treatment plan.
Starting With Medical Detox
Treatment begins with medical detox, where clients have 24-hour clinical supervision to manage withdrawal safely. Nursing and medical staff monitor symptoms around the clock and keep each person stable before the next phase of care.
Moving Into Residential Treatment
After detox, clients move into residential treatment and live on-site while they focus on recovery. Days combine individual counseling, group therapy, and evidence-based approaches that can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, family therapy, and holistic options. Separate tracks for men and women let clients work through recovery with fewer distractions.
Treating Co-Occurring Conditions
Texas Helps offers dual diagnosis care for clients living with both addiction and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. Treating both at once gives people a stronger footing for lasting recovery.
Supporting Veterans
A dedicated veterans track treats addiction alongside post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma, using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and holistic services. The program accepts TRICARE and veterans insurance.
