About Alamo Area Resource Center

Alamo Area Resource Center in San Antonio, Texas is a nonprofit health and wellness organization offering extensive behavioral health resources within an integrated care model. Although it is not a traditional drug and alcohol rehab center, it provides mental health counseling, support groups, and case management as part of its substance use treatment efforts for individuals affected by HIV or AIDS, LGBTQ+ clients, and other circumstances. Its mission focuses on health equity, inclusion, and compassionate, non judgmental care.

They’ve moved to a different location on North Frio Street, so this particular location is now closed.

Wraparound Services for Whole Life Recovery

Clients often begin with a behavioral health assessment or connection via case management to identify needs, especially when co-occurring mental health issues or substance use concerns are present. This serves as a gateway into ongoing support through counseling or peer support formats.

Within these programs, individuals can expect one on one mental health counseling, facilitated support groups, and wraparound services coordinating medical, housing, and social supports. Though not specialized in medically supervised detox or residential rehab, the center works with clients to address substance use as part of a broader health plan using evidence based and trauma-informed approaches.

Specialized Care for Life Challenging Illnesses

I appreciate that this treatment center provides tailored care for people with life challenging illnesses, including HIV and AIDS as well as other STIs. They also have inclusive and respectful care for members of the LGBTQ+ community and people who are experiencing homelessness.

The evidence based, trauma informed care here is delivered through a single point of care model combining medical, mental health, and supportive services. They accept Medicaid and Medicare as well as private health insurance. They offer sliding scale discounts to make treatment affordable and they have some services funded by donations.

To start working with Alamo Area Resource Center in San Antonio, clients generally reach out for an intake or assessment appointment where behavioral health needs are evaluated and suitable referrals or programs are suggested.
