Located at 7050 Parkway Drive, the institute provides integrated care for those struggling with mental health conditions alongside addiction, recognizing that treating both conditions together leads to better outcomes.

Alvarado Parkway Institute offers a full spectrum of treatment options to meet patients at different stages of their recovery journey. Hospital inpatient services provide intensive, round-the-clock care for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises or requiring medical supervision during withdrawal. Outpatient programs allow patients to receive therapy, medication management, and psychiatric services while maintaining their daily responsibilities at home or work. The facility specializes in treating co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, which means clinical staff address depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other mental illnesses in conjunction with alcohol and drug addiction. This integrated approach recognizes that these conditions often fuel each other and must be treated simultaneously for lasting recovery.
Alvarado Parkway Institute accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/TRICARE), and self-payment, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to treatment. Most commercial insurance plans are required by law to cover mental health and substance use treatment at the same level as medical care under the Mental Health Parity Act, which means your benefits may cover a significant portion of treatment costs. The admissions team can verify your specific coverage and explain your out-of-pocket expenses before treatment begins.
