Serving Children and Adults in Need Laredo

Serving Children and Adults in Need (SCAN) Inc. is a nonprofit agency located in Laredo, Texas, with the mission of providing effective addiction treatment services and programs, as well as many ancillary mental health programs. Their main administrative office, located next to the Laredo International Airport, can be the connection point you need to access an addiction treatment program that’s right for you. They offer residential and outpatient treatment for addictions, as well as various services that can help you address any mental health issues you may have.

Residential Treatment Programs for Adults and Adolescents

Their residential services provide gender specific treatment programs for individuals who need to recover in a supportive healing environment. In their adult residential programs, they provide individualized treatment planning, individual and group therapy, case management services and relapse prevention planning. The residences are also equipped with fun amenities that can be used for socialization and recreation, and the schedule also gives residents access to educational and skill building opportunities.

Their youth program is similarly split across two facilities, providing for safety and gender specific programs for those aged 13 to 17. These age appropriate addiction recovery services have addiction treatment components that address the residents’ unique developmental needs, such as family sessions and continued participation in school.

Outpatient Services and Medication Assisted Treatment

SCAN also has many outpatient treatment programs that can serve as steps down from intensive residential care or as the main addiction treatment program for those whose needs aren’t as intensive. They can provide outpatient therapy and counseling for addictions and co-occurring conditions, as well as medication assisted treatment for opioid addictions.

As a nonprofit, they offer their services to individuals on Medicaid, provide financial assistance and do not turn people away simply because they can’t pay. They’re also highly praised by many of their clients, with one past patient reporting that their vast complement of counselors showed a great deal of interest in their patients’ lives and well being.
