Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Alice, Texas
Alice sits in Jim Wells County around eighty kilometers west of Corpus Christi, with roughly 18,000 residents.
The town grew as a cattle shipping point and later on oil and gas, and remains a service center for the surrounding ranching country.
It is also where the disputed 1948 Senate ballot box that secured Lyndon Johnson’s election was cast.
Counties below a certain population do not get separate overdose counts published, so the state figures are the available guide.
The state’s decision not to expand Medicaid left Texas with the country’s highest uninsured rate, close to 16 percent, and an estimated 617,000 to 920,000 adults who earn too little for Marketplace subsidies but qualify for nothing else.
The rule that trips most people up: Texas Medicaid does not count a substance use disorder as qualifying, at any income. Adults typically need a severe mental health diagnosis alongside disability status, and a parent without a disability qualifies only under about $4,000 a year.
Without cover, the practical first call is OSAR. The Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral program runs in each of the eleven Texas regions, answers day or night, and is reached on 211 or 877-541-7905.
Neighboring Robstown, Taft and Portland carry their own listings, with the wider picture across Texas.
Which Level of Care Do You Need
The figures below cover providers listed in Alice and the surrounding parts of Jim Wells County. Corpus Christi is around an hour east and holds the nearest substantial provision.
Medically Supervised Detox
Detox means getting through withdrawal with medical supervision, generally a three to seven day process. CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Alice serves the town and surrounding county. The first three days are the dangerous part with alcohol and benzodiazepines, which is why supervised withdrawal matters rather than stopping unaided.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Residential treatment means living at a program for thirty, sixty or ninety days. Residential capacity here is very limited, and placement toward Corpus Christi or San Antonio is the norm.
Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment
The state applies ASAM placement criteria, so expect an assessment to name a level of care rather than describe options in general terms. Oilfield service work here follows the same rotation patterns as West Texas, which makes conventional weekly schedules difficult for part of the workforce.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Treating an addiction and a mental health condition together, rather than one after the other, is what dual diagnosis provision means. The authority for Jim Wells County is Coastal Plains Community Center, which plans and coordinates publicly funded care locally. Coastal Plains Community Center covers Jim Wells and five surrounding counties.
Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living
Sober living is shared accommodation run on a substance-free basis for people coming out of treatment. Recovery housing certification in Texas goes through the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network, the state’s NARR affiliate. It is voluntary, which is why asking directly matters. Recovery housing here is scarce, with more options toward Corpus Christi.
Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage in Alice
Alice household incomes sit below the state median, with oil services and ranching dominant locally. Listings in Alice itself are limited, so the practical search usually extends into the surrounding county and beyond. Jim Wells County is small enough that annual overdose counts are not published separately, so the state picture is the better guide.
How Much Does Addiction Rehab Cost?
Texas market ranges run about $1,400 to $4,700 a week for medical detox, $5,900 to $24,500 a month for residential care, $6,900 to $13,300 for partial hospitalization, $2,550 to $8,800 for intensive outpatient and $1,220 to $4,900 for standard outpatient.
Spanish is widely spoken here, and a program that works in Spanish is worth asking about directly.
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox (7–14 days) | $1,500 – $4,900 per week | $220 – $700 |
| Residential inpatient | $6,000 – $25,000 | $200 – $830 |
| PHP | $7,000 – $13,500 | $230 – $450 |
| IOP | $2,500 – $9,000 | $80 – $300 |
| Outpatient | $1,200 – $5,000 | $40 – $170 |
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Residential inpatient | $17,000 – $50,000+ | $560 – $1,650+ |
| PHP | $14,000 – $32,000 | $470 – $1,070 |
| IOP | $9,000 – $24,000 | $300 – $800 |
| Outpatient | $5,000 – $15,000 | $170 – $500 |
Does Insurance Cover Rehab?
Yes. Addiction treatment sits among the essential health benefits most plans are required to include. What a plan actually pays varies with the employer, the network and the level of care, so two people with the same insurer can face very different bills. Employer plans are present in oil services and healthcare. Texas Medicaid runs through STAR managed care, and ranching and service work frequently carries neither.
Coverage and approval are separate steps. Prior authorization is standard before detox and residential admission, and network status usually decides your share of the bill. Contract oilfield work often carries no plan at all, so establish that before comparing private figures.
Free and State-Funded Addiction Rehab in Alice
The state’s decision not to expand Medicaid left Texas with the country’s highest uninsured rate, close to 16 percent, and an estimated 617,000 to 920,000 adults who earn too little for Marketplace subsidies but qualify for nothing else. The rule that trips most people up: Texas Medicaid does not count a substance use disorder as qualifying, at any income. Adults typically need a severe mental health diagnosis alongside disability status, and a parent without a disability qualifies only under about $4,000 a year. Getting there week after week is the real question in a county like this. Programs serving rural catchments generally expect it and can often adjust the schedule, but only if the difficulty is raised at the start rather than discovered when someone stops attending.
Anyone in Jim Wells County without cover starts with Coastal Plains Community Center. Without cover, the practical first call is OSAR. The Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral program runs in each of the eleven Texas regions, answers day or night, and is reached on 211 or 877-541-7905. Thirty-seven local mental health authorities and two behavioral health authorities cover Texas, with most also hosting the regional OSAR program.
Texas allocates opioid settlement money through the Opioid Abatement Fund Council, part of the Comptroller’s office. Its September 2025 round distributed $21.2 million via 109 grants and reached every region for the first time. It has also committed up to $25 million to UTHealth Houston for recovery housing and $25 million to University Health in Bexar County for naloxone. Counties and municipalities have received over $112 million in four payments since 2023.
