West Oaks Hospital

West Oaks Hospital is a psychiatric hospital and drug and alcohol rehab in Houston, Texas that treats all ages with substance use and dual mental health disorders. They are accredited by the Joint Commission.

The hospital provides medically managed detox and a chemical dependency residential program as well as outpatient programs. Treatment begins with a free assessment.

Patriot Support Program

West Oaks Hospital operates the Patriot Support Program which was built specifically for service members, veterans, and their families with its own unit within the hospital rather than a general track with a military label.

Treatment is provided alongside peers with similar experiences. This program is for veterans whose substance use is intertwined with PTSD or other service related mental health conditions. The testimonial evidence here is strongly positive.

One reviewer wrote, "I was in the Veterans unit... Helped me spiritually, emotionally, and physically," and another veteran reported the dual diagnosis program helped the most after years in other programs.

This feedback is a clear indication of a successful program.

Best Fit for Prospective Clients

Reviews of West Oaks Hospital are sharply polarized and anyone researching it should know that going in. Specific staff members are credited in positive feedback.

One reviewer said a case manager was the best case manager they had ever had while negative reviews allege neglect and poor communication from staff and physicians in some cases.

Experiences at West Oaks vary. They depend heavily on the unit and the team involved so assigned unit and case manager should be considered by prospective clients.

West Oaks Hospital serves Houston and surrounding communities with additional outpatient clinics in Houston and Katy and accepts Medicare and Medicaid as well as TRICARE and most private insurance.
