If not properly treated, substance abuse will result in serious health, relationship, employment, scholastic and legal ramifications. At San Antonio Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, we believe in wellness and leading a recovered life. We also understand that the road to recovery and sobriety is a long one and that abstaining from alcohol or drug use is just one part of what needs to change in the person. By engaging in our comprehensive addiction treatment program, adolescents and adults who are struggling with substance abuse and addiction can develop the skills needed to not only break the cycle of addiction but to address the entirety of their lives and engage in what must change to maintain life-long happiness and sobriety.
