Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in College Station, Texas
College Station is home to Texas A&M University, which enrolls more than 70,000 students, in a city of around 120,000 residents.
The university is the largest in the United States by enrollment, and the city exists substantially because of it.
Population here swings sharply with the academic calendar, emptying considerably between semesters.
The CDC does not publish separate counts for counties with populations this small, so state-level data is what there is to work from.
Coverage in Texas is the thinnest of any state, near 16 percent uninsured, with Medicaid expansion never adopted. Somewhere between 617,000 and 920,000 adults fall through the gap that leaves.
Eligibility here turns on diagnosis rather than need. A substance use disorder by itself does not qualify anyone for Texas Medicaid at any income; a severe mental illness with disability status usually does, and a non-disabled parent qualifies only under roughly $4,000 a year.
OSAR programs handle outreach, screening, assessment and referral for people with no cover. Texas runs one per region across eleven regions, staffed around the clock, reachable on 211 or 877-541-7905.

Which Level of Care Do You Need
The figures below cover providers listed in College Station and the surrounding parts of Brazos County. Bryan adjoins directly, and the two function as one market.
Medically Supervised Detox
Detox means getting through withdrawal with medical supervision, generally a three to seven day process. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center College Station and CHI St. Joseph Health serve the area. For alcohol and benzodiazepines the first seventy-two hours carry the real danger, which is why supervision matters rather than willpower.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Residential care means moving into the program for a set period, usually thirty, sixty or ninety days. Residential capacity locally is limited, and Houston or Austin, both around ninety minutes away, hold much deeper provision.
Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment
Placement in Texas follows American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria, which means a proper assessment should name a level of care rather than defaulting to what is available. Alcohol dominates the presenting picture in a city this heavily weighted toward undergraduates, and programs here are used to that. Ask how they handle someone who needs to remain enrolled.
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. For Brazos County, MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley is the authority responsible for planning and coordinating publicly funded care. MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley is the local authority for Brazos County.
Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living
Sober living provides shared accommodation with a substance-free rule for the period following treatment. TROHN certifies recovery residences in Texas as the state NARR affiliate, but the scheme is voluntary and plenty of houses operate outside it, so ask. The rental market here is built around student leases, which makes conventional recovery housing scarce.
Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage in College Station
College Station household incomes sit well below the state median because of the student population, which distorts the figure considerably. Listings in College Station itself are limited, so the practical search usually extends into the surrounding county and beyond. Brazos 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?
Statewide, medical detox runs about $1,400 to $4,700 weekly, residential care $5,900 to $24,500 monthly, partial hospitalization $6,900 to $13,300, intensive outpatient $2,550 to $8,800 and standard outpatient $1,220 to $4,900 a month.
Student health plans and parental cover are both common, and the rules on each differ, so establish which applies before comparing costs.
| 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. University plans and parental cover dominate here. Texas Medicaid runs through STAR managed care, and the service economy around the campus frequently holds 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. Confidentiality is a live concern for students, and treatment records are protected under 42 CFR Part 2, a tighter standard than ordinary medical privacy.
Free and State-Funded Addiction Rehab in College Station
Coverage in Texas is the thinnest of any state, near 16 percent uninsured, with Medicaid expansion never adopted. Somewhere between 617,000 and 920,000 adults fall through the gap that leaves. Eligibility here turns on diagnosis rather than need. A substance use disorder by itself does not qualify anyone for Texas Medicaid at any income; a severe mental illness with disability status usually does, and a non-disabled parent qualifies only under roughly $4,000 a year. Where the nearest program is a long drive away, that journey needs building into the plan rather than hoping it works out. Consolidating sessions or moving part of the course to telehealth are both common and both worth asking about before agreeing to anything.
The local authority covering Brazos County is MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley. OSAR programs handle outreach, screening, assessment and referral for people with no cover. Texas runs one per region across eleven regions, staffed around the clock, reachable on 211 or 877-541-7905. Texas divides responsibility among 37 local mental health authorities and two behavioral health authorities, most of which also run the regional OSAR.
Opioid settlement funds are handled by the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council, which sits with the Comptroller. Its September 2025 round put $21.2 million into 109 grants and covered every region of Texas for the first time. December 2025 brought a commitment of up to $25 million to UTHealth Houston for certified recovery housing, following an earlier $25 million to University Health in Bexar County for naloxone across the state. Separate payments to counties and cities have run $47.1 million in 2023, $9.2 million in 2024, $44.8 million in 2025 and $11.5 million in March 2026.
