About CARS – Counseling and Recovery Services

Counseling and Recovery Services, also known as CARS, is an outpatient addiction treatment center with a location in Tomball, Texas. Their main purpose is to treat adults with opioid use disorders.

They do this by applying medication assisted treatment into their programming. With this method, you can come off of your opiate addiction safely and with less stress. That’s because medication such as buprenorphine and Suboxone can reduce the risk of dangerous, even fatal, withdrawal symptoms. It can also help you experience fewer cravings, which will make the process that much more comfortable for you. But that’s not all this clinic offers. They also provide counseling services in multiple formats. Their level of care here is outpatient.

Their outpatient program takes a deeper look into your health and your addictive habits. They find this information by doing physical exams, blood work labs, and screenings for STDs, if requested. Their counseling varies from individual therapy to group therapy and even family therapy. All of these have their benefits, but most importantly, they work together well to provide a full spectrum of care.

I have been to a few recovery centers and CARS is by far the best. They work with you and actually care about your progress and how you are. Kim is by far the best counselor I could ve asked for, she is kind, caring and is the best part of CARS in my opinion. Also thw nurses there, Leah and Art work SO hard making sure everyone gets taken care of. I can t say one bad thing about any of the counselors for that matter because they are all awesome.

Love it here! They have helped me in so many ways! Especially Kim, she is an amazing counselor and person. I feel like I can tell her anything without feeling judged or like I have gone backwards in my treatment that I just need to fix whatever problem I'm having and still feel like I'm accomplishing life in a positive way and that once I fix that issue I'm still doing good so thank you Kim for making feel that way and keeping me on track!!

I have been to 7 different clinics between Utah, cali, Texas; and CARS in Tomball is the best I have been to. If it weren t for Kimberley there is no way I would be doing as good as I am. She has been there to talk me through hard times, reminded me how strong I am, if something comes up (out of town, or surgeries etc.) Kimberley, the nurses, and doctor do all they can to accommodate my needs. Other clinics made me feel like a burden, or like I was putting them out, or a pain. I have never had a counselor as amazing as Kimberly. I thought I was losing my dad, and the support Kimberly gave me, I have never had. She didn t rush me out, I had to go back to my home state and she helped me make a relapse prevention plan, checked in on me, and has never made me feel like an addict. She has helped set me up to succeed, not fail. I have almost two years sober and if I didn t have her support as well as Leah and Art and Chase I wouldn t have made it this far. I ve never had this kind of support in a program as I do now. Kimberly is the reason I stay at this clinic; the best counselor I ve had. Leah, Art and Chase are all bonuses! If you re looking for somewhere for yourself or family, CARS is the best. The counselors, nurses, and doc are all positives to this place

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

My experience with Kimberly has been great, and I recommend her highly to others in counseling and recovery in Houston (Tomball),Texas.My daughter is a client at this facility. She has come from Utah and has received this positive level of counseling. I have noticed from conversation with Kimberly that she is compassionate to herhealth and is not manipulative to her behavior.I m so fascinated with her technique and understanding her problem and addressing in this timely manner. I sure wish she would have found her sooner in life.Thank you (CARS) Houston Texas.KevinCc: Kimberly (Tomball) Texas

This is the best clinic I have ever been too I've moved around a couple times so I've had a few counselers and Kim is the very best one out of them all! She's always out and making sure things are running great and right. She's very kind to everyone she treats everyone fairly and is an amazing person and the nurses on staff right now are also amazing! But I really do have to give credit to Kim she basically runs that place and she does a very very good job!

Hello I've been a patient at this clinic for 5 years now . My life has changed so much thanks to y'all. The staff at the clinic is amazing and always helpful. Miss Kim been my counselor ever since I started and she has been amazing. She knows when to be tough and knows when to be kind and understanding. I wouldn't be where I am without Kim and I wanted to take time to say thankyou for everything. I've dosed at 5-6 other clinics across tx, nm, tn and the tomball cars clinic is by far the best and cleanest. Chase and Mrs JoAnn are always welcoming and if ever miss Kim was busy they always were happy to help. The nurses Mrs Leah and Mr Art are always polite and friendly and helpful with anything or questions that I may have. I just wanted you to know you have a great group of people there.and the best methadone clinic I've ever been to...Thankyou so much,

The counselors and nurses are fantastic along with the rest of the staff. I would definitely recommend anyone struggling with addiction to get their help here. They're all so understanding and take the patients feelings into consideration.

CARS is a great clinic and experience in my several years of treatment. They advocate neither for raising doses nor lowering while taking patient feedback seriously. Leah is an absolute asset to this place as is my counselor JoAnn.I'm sad to see Sacilia leave however the rest of the staff is great too. My only concern is the director not knowing that poppy seeds can contain opium in amounts high enough to trigger a false positive and when I spoke to the doctor, he had no idea that poppy seeds can cause false positives/morphine positives, which is very concerning to hear from the doctor with absolute authority at a methadone clinic, however Leah does a fantastic job in regard to concerns such as this. I wish I could meet with her!Would recommend to anyone I know struggling ten times over

Zero stars.Do not bring your loved ones here for help.All this place cares about is pushing methadone.This place will get your loved one addicted to another substance.They should work on the counseling part of the business.For over a month there was no counseling only pushing methadone.So disappointed.
