If you are truly ready to escape the personal hell that addiction has on your life, to really break free, I can not recommend New Choices enough. This place saved my life and amazing things are happening there. There were too many miracles of transformation I witnessed with my own eyes to not shout it from the rooftops. I will say, you will receive what you put into it. You will have to put in the work. The entire process will challenge you, but it's all for a bigger purpose to keep you sober. To finally be free and live the life you have always dreamed of.Huge shout-outs to Rob, a counselor there that I know I was destined to meet. He is brilliant. Danny, the meditation teacher, reintroduced me to meditation (I had completely forgotten how healing it is.) His mindfulness classes were always something I looked forward to and taught me self-compassion, something I hadn't done in way too long. Robert, the horticulture teacher, teaches the beauty and lessons we can all learn from plants. The main Chef there is a 5-star chef with I believe 2 Michelin stars with a tomato basil soup that is truly world class (and the salad bar slays). Other shout-outs I want to give out are Brenda, a nurse who truly cares and got me through some HARD times y'all, Nadine and Mike (both I will never forget), Katrina the Clinical Director who's feedback permanently changed the trajectory of my life, Val and Chris who both helped immensely when I wanted to give up and leave when I was so close to the finish line, and Jerome- an amazing and wise teacher. Kathy, my case manager, went above and beyond to help guide me on my path of early recovery. Finally, a shout out to Alexia, the evening cook, and Stephanie, Parker, Melody, Brett, Dustin, Casey, and Ralphie. Thank you for all of the laughs and conversation (and great music!)Oh, and how could I forget about the personal trainers Jeff and Dess, who both are phenomenal. I got IN SHAPE there thanks to their incredible expertise. I always looked forward to working out with them. They also have an amazing yoga instructor whose classes always provided deep healing as I worked through so much suppressed grief.I will look back on my time at New Choices Residential Treatment as the time I became a man. If you are willing to be open-minded, honest, and vulnerable and truly wanting to heal your life, look no further. I have been on my healing journey for over 20 years, and I finally experienced the profound and permanent healing I had been craving most of my life.I am currently in the Virtual Outpatient Program with Taylor, who continues to blow me away with her expertise and compassion. New Choices also has an alumni meeting every Friday, which I look forward to each week.From top to bottom, this treatment center truly cares. I know without a doubt my higher power had me come here. And I've learned that sometimes my higher power is the people around me, because they get it and together we are stronger than we are alone.The opposite of addiction is connection, and I am grateful to say I finally found my tribe after decades of feeling so alone whether dealing with chronic illness, sexual orientation struggles, and/or addiction. It does not matter your financial situation, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religious views (or lack thereof), or race. You are welcome there and all they care about is saving your life and watching you soar. New Choices, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.

New Choices has saved and changed my life!!! They really do care about people who are suffering and have the life experiences and tools to help discover the real you. I have never felt I was normal or truly loved until I found this program. Everything from real therapist that have been in recovery and truly understand to the group classes on everything from mindfulness to hulterculter was life changing for me. The facilities are clean and safe and incorporate healthy eating, crossfit style exercise for all levels, yoga and meditation. They are active in several 12 step programs and activities that help with proving I can lead a clean and sober happy lifestyle. This is a 30 to 90 day program and I actually stayed a full 100 days as a resident. I just completed the 8 week intensive outpatient program and now have over 5 months clean and sober. This is a record for me personally. I am also actively involved in their Alumni program. I can't say enough about New Choices Treatment Center and highly recommend this life changing recovery community.!!!Happy, joyous and free,Aaron V

My name is Jeremiah S. So I transfered to New Choices from another facility 30 days into my recovery journey. Don't get me wrong, the place I was at was like a weekend retreat type of place. Although I loved it there, it wasn't really the place I needed to show me how to get my life started again. I got that learning and understanding from my 90 day stay at New Choices. I will be honest and say my first week there was hard for me. They have a structured routine and rules that I first had to learn to accept. I am very thankful for that as isn't that how life really is? I am ,as of this writing, 1 year and 7 months into my recovery and I can honestly and truthful say I wouldn't have came this far without the things I learnt, the people I met, and the things I was taught at New Choices. I would definitely recommend this treatment center to anyone willing and truly ready to change the way they are living. I am truly greatful and thankful to All the staff, nurses, RC's and counselors there. Oh by that way I read some place down on the comments about rats and being forced to write positive reveiws... I never saw any rats in my house nor would I ever let myself be forced to write anything positive about a place I had a negative experience at.

Location

Accepted Insurance

New Choices Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in Texas may be necessary if your loved one is in denial about a substance use disorder. You can partner with intervention services to plan and execute an effective intervention that educates your loved one about addiction and encourages them to get the treatment they need. Many rehab centers offer intervention specialists who can facilitate the intervention and help with a seamless transition to inpatient rehab for treatment.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Texas provides a safe environment for medical detox. This setting is crucial to provide medical care during withdrawal. Certain withdrawal symptoms can cause life-threatening conditions, but patients in a supervised clinical setting have treatment readily available to address any symptoms before they become severe. Treatment can also be provided for co-occurring physical and mental health issues.
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. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.

Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.

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.

Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

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.

Creative arts therapy focuses on creative processes. You may engage in sculpting, dancing, improv, painting, or sketching. These creative outlets provide an opportunity to explore and express difficult emotions.

New Choices gave me the ability to turn my life around and save MYSELF from a life of depression, fear and misery. I spent a total of 99 days in residential treatment and am now doing an additional 8 weeks of IOP treatment. The tools and skills I learned are gifts that I will use in every facet of my life, to not only stay Clean & Sober, but to be the best version of myself in all walks of life. NCTC has blessed me with a community of dedicated individuals that are committed to their own sobriety and the sobriety of the fellow brothers and sisters in recovery. My journey at NCTC was, is and will continue to be a Discovery of choices that have brought me strength, courage and wisdom. If you are suffering with addiction take the first step with the utmost love, compassion and kindness that you will get from NCTC. It will save you!

Started program 10/2021 Finished treatment in November of 2021. Just made 3 years sober a few days ago and I couldn't be more grateful to the staff at New Choices. The friendships and family that you make and get to take with you are such a huge blessing. I've referred friends who have managed to get through the program and are sober to this day as well. This program is a selfish program at least that's the mindset that I went in with. If I was going to have 30 days to get my shit together, you better believe I was going to make this program work for me. Can't say a negative thing about this program, facility or employees all top notch, absolute treasures. Thanks NCTC!

If I could give this place an 0 I would, please don't go to this low budget treatment center. I was there for about 2 weeks and decided to leave. The staff is horrible, one of the nurses was sleeping/ messing with client. It seems like most of the employees need a drug test because it's obvious that something is going on. We have to stand outside until it's our turn at the window for medication even when it's raining outside. We have seen rats in our rooms and have told them but nothing has been done. We were micromanaged the whole time I was there, rc are horrible and very rude. Desi, alexia, Micheal and Ana are wonderful and deserve way more praising them they are getting. I know for sure some of there employees would come up dirty if a random/ secret drug test was done.

This place is a con. They had me wait hours to get my personal items so they can inventory my belongings. After waking up after two hours I still do not have my meds nor my skin cr�me for my severe rash. They mentioned it could take till the next day. I asked for AMA and was lead to wait with my belongings in the middle of the street.

Don t expect respect you won t get it. My mental health took a viral decline after my stay. Just don t. There are better places to go.

I came to new choices after referring three addicts but myself had not even admitted I was an addict. Then I hit rock bottom, it was my turn to take my own advice and go to treatment. The experience was so intense that I extended after my 30 days was up. I left residential after 45 days and entered into the intensive out patient program and completed 75 days. I am proud to say I am a recovered addict and have been clean for 138 days now. NCTC has played a major part of my recovery journey.

Do not work at this place. My wife has Lupus and was upfront with them upon hire. Well they changed her shift while she was in the ICU so that she would quit. We have been in and out of the hospital so they donated her belongings instead of calling us. To the supervisor of this place KARMA is real. I hope your mom of wife doesn t get an autoimmune because then you will know how it feels.
