In 2023, Bexar County reported 509 overdose deaths. Methamphetamine and opioids were key drivers, and each loss represented a real person whose life could’ve taken a different path with timely support.
San Antonio Recovery Center’s San Pedro campus is only a short drive from Alamo Heights. We provide structured, evidence-based treatment designed for adults in the Central and North Central San Antonio area. Our goal is simple: make recovery realistic, accessible, and sustainable for everyday life.
San Antonio Recovery Center is more than a treatment facility—it’s a community focused on accountability, connection, and long-term healing. Clients feel supported by peers and staff who understand what rebuilding life after substance use actually looks like.
Key ways SARC supports individuals and families in San Antonio:
Many clients have lived through trauma, chronic stress, or significant life changes. Our clinicians are trained to provide care that is respectful, safe, and mindful of each client’s history.
Services are available in English and Spanish, helping families communicate comfortably and fostering trust from the beginning.
SARC has one of the most connected alumni networks in the San Antonio region. Alumni groups, events, mentorship, and ongoing support help clients stay grounded long after formal treatment ends.
We also offer dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance use and mental health conditions together—such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Treating both sides at once lowers relapse risk and helps clients stabilize emotionally and physically.
Recovery happens in stages, and clients often need different levels of support along the way. At our San Pedro campus near Alamo Heights, clients can move between programs as their needs change.
Our PHP offers full-day, highly structured care for clients who need intensive treatment but do not require overnight residential support. A typical day may include:
Clients return home or to sober housing in the evenings, allowing them to practice new skills in day-to-day life while staying connected to strong clinical support.
IOP at our San Pedro campus is designed for clients transitioning from PHP or residential care, or those who need more structure than weekly outpatient therapy. IOP includes multiple sessions per week, supporting work and family commitments.
Outpatient care offers a lighter schedule while still providing accountability and support. It may include:
For Alamo Heights residents, outpatient care can serve as long-term support or as a way to return for additional help when new challenges arise.
Substance use affects each person differently. At SARC, treatment is individualized based on what a client is using, how long they’ve been using, and the underlying emotional or environmental factors.
Alcohol use can slowly shift from social drinking to a dependency that impacts sleep, mood, relationships, and work. Our alcohol treatment services at the San Pedro campus may include:
Clients learn how alcohol affects the body and mind and how to maintain stability in real-life situations.
Stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine often create an exhausting cycle of overworking, using to maintain energy, and then crashing. Our stimulant treatment program focuses on:
Fentanyl continues to fuel overdoses in Bexar County. Because even small amounts can be deadly, opioid treatment requires careful medical oversight. At SARC, clients receive:
The goal is safety, stabilization, and building a life where opioids no longer feel necessary.
Benzodiazepines—commonly prescribed for anxiety or sleep—can be dangerous when used long-term or mixed with other substances. Benzo treatment must be handled slowly and safely. SARC provides:
