About Recovery Center of Cameron County Brownsville
The Recovery Center of Cameron County (RCCC) in Brownsville, Texas, provides substance use and mental health treatment in English or Spanish for adults and youth. Most clients are eligible to receive free treatment.
Help for Cocaine Use Disorders
Cocaine is the most abused stimulant drug in the United States because of the power of its psychological effect. The brain is affected in areas that process pleasure and rewards but physical symptoms do not occur with cocaine. Withdrawals include depression, nervousness, mood swings, and anxiety.
Codependency Treatment
Codependency is closely related with substance use. A codependent family member of a loved one may be enabling the substance user without realizing it. We want to protect the reputation, job, and other aspects of our loved ones so we may hide the substance use, call in to work for them when they cannot, or display other actions that actually enable our loved one.
Codependency is not always substance use related. This can occur in certain family environments that prohibit a family member’s growth and change. The clinic can treat this type of codependency.
Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Substance use begins as a voluntary act that we choose to do but can end with compulsively using or using to avoid withdrawals. Addiction is a disease of the brain that affects our brain circuits and causes negative behaviors.
Though marijuana use may not be considered an addictive behavior, one who has used long term will need treatment to stop. The center also treats alcoholism.
Youth Treatment and Outreach
The center provides substance use treatment for youth. Outreach activities, such as speaking at schools, are also part of their programs. They present educational sessions and seminars about alcohol and drugs at places like the youth at the Youth Boot Camp Program at the Border Patrol Fort Brown Station.
And if you’re out and about in Brownsville, you can check out Sams Memorial Stadium or Riverside Park to unwind and exercise.
