Because of the military presence in Abilene, Oceans Behavioral Hospital Abilene offers mental health disorder treatment geared to active-duty military members, veterans, and family members. Challenges they address in their STAR military program include combat stress and long separation from close relationships. Family members participate in group therapy with other military families with similar experiences. To enroll in the STAR program, clients need to provide a referral from the Department of Defense (DoD) or VA.
Oceans Behavioral Hospital runs numerous locations throughout Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. Many specialize in aging-related or military-related mental health conditions, and an increasing number treat mental health for adolescents. Some of the other locations are collaborations with other healthcare providers, such as Ochsner Health.
