Starlite Recovery Center

Recovery rarely begins and ends in one setting. Starlite Recovery Center is built around this reality, offering levels of care that follow individuals from the earliest stages of treatment through longer-term recovery maintenance. Medical detox starts the process safely, followed by residential treatment for those who benefit from an immersive environment. From there, the Outpatient Program and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) create a structured bridge back to everyday life — one of the most critical and often underserved phases of the recovery journey.

This continuum matters because sustained recovery depends on continuity. Being able to move through multiple levels of care within the same center — rather than piecing together disconnected providers — reduces the gaps where relapse risk tends to climb. For individuals and families evaluating rehab options in the Texas Hill Country, that integrated structure is a practical differentiator.

Starlite Recovery Center serves a wide cross-section of people seeking substance abuse treatment, with specific programming attention given to veterans, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and Deaf or hard-of-hearing clients. Court-ordered participants are also accepted. This breadth reflects a facility designed to meet people where they are — not a one-size-fits-all rehab model.

For veterans specifically, Starlite accepts TRICARE, removing one of the most common barriers to accessing quality addiction treatment. The center's explicit recognition of trauma and PTSD as conditions treated within its clinical framework adds another layer of relevance for veterans whose substance use and mental health histories are often deeply interconnected. Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis treatment are integrated into the center's approach across all populations served.

At the clinical core of Starlite's substance abuse treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, skills-based approach that helps clients identify and change the thought patterns driving addictive behavior. CBT is particularly well-suited to a recovery model that extends beyond detox — it equips individuals with tools they can carry into outpatient care, sober living environments, and everyday life long after formal treatment ends.

Dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorder treatment are central to how Starlite approaches recovery. Treating addiction without addressing underlying mental health conditions — including trauma and PTSD — leaves a significant part of the clinical picture unaddressed. By treating both together, the center's model reflects what the recovery community increasingly recognizes as essential to lasting outcomes.

Cost and insurance coverage are among the most practical concerns families face when evaluating residential treatment or outpatient programs. Starlite Recovery Center accepts Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, covering a range of financial situations that would otherwise put quality addiction treatment out of reach for many individuals.

TRICARE acceptance is particularly significant for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families — a population Starlite explicitly serves. Medicaid coverage opens access for individuals whose financial circumstances might otherwise limit their options. For those using private insurance or paying out of pocket, self-pay is also accepted. Prospective clients should contact the center directly to confirm coverage specifics and discuss what options apply to their situation.
