About Pillar Strong
Pillar Strong in Laredo, Texas, is an outpatient clinic offering comprehensive healthcare for adults, including mental health and addiction counseling services. In addition to counseling services at the center, they hold workshops and educational seminars throughout the community on various mental health topics.
The central Laredo location makes it easy for clients to access care even without personal transportation. An El Metro Transit bus stop is within walking distance, and clients who live in rural areas within Webb County can arrange for rides through the El Aguila Rural Transit System. While they do work with insurance providers, most services are free or low cost for clients who don’t have coverage
Short Term Drug and Alcohol Counseling
Many clients come to the center for help with alcohol use disorders, but the staff provides counseling for other substance use as well. They take a holistic approach to treatment by assessing mental and physical issues that could contribute to addiction, and work with clients to restore both the mind and body.
Counseling is designed to be completed over seven sessions. The goal is to make sure you’re ready to continue recovery on your own. You and your counselor may decide you need more sessions to meet that goal.
Comprehensive Medical Care in Laredo
The onsite medical clinic makes recovery even more accessible. A registered nurse and a nurse practitioner see patients for a variety of issues, including preventative care and women’s health. Patients aged five and older are welcome at the medical clinic.
Clients can also get sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing at no charge, and they also provide free pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications for clients who are at risk of exposure to HIV. Both services are handled in a safe, non-judgmental setting and are especially valuable for clients who use injectable drugs. Many participants in the treatment programs at Pillar Strong express gratitude for experiencing personal transformation and finding renewed purpose.
