Medical briefcase icon 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.

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).

inpatient iconInpatient

12-step icon12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

I am an alumni of PACE from back in 2015. I have since opened my own center in Austin, TX - Heartwood Recovery. PACE is truly the first place where I experienced fun in recovery. Though I wasn t quite ready and had a slip after my time there before getting and staying sober, I learned many valuable lessons at PACE. Lenny is a fantastic individual and has created a model that works. Key staff who I learned from and who are still there are Will, Dr. Jeanie, Sean, Brian, Chris, etc. All fantastic individuals. Can t say enough good things, highly recommend! - Frank Schmitt

Our son enrolled at PACE in 2023 with severe mental health and addiction issues. While the process was very difficult for all of us, our son graduated from the program after 90 days, a different person. He's now back at school and transitioning well. Thoroughout the entire process, the PACE team was communicative and supportive. We can't begin to thank the entire team for helping our son!

I have known the the professionals at PACE Recovery Center for over 10 years. They are a highly talented, competent and compassionate group of providers. As a clinical professional in the field, I have collaborated with PACE on several complex cases and have always been impressed with their ability to support even the most difficult mental health and addiction challenges.

My son spent 60 days at PACE and the experience was life changing. The staff, especially his case manager, Cameron D, truly cares about the patients and take special interest in their success. Cameron D contacted me weekly to give me updates on my son and worked closely with him in defining and achieving his goals. Cameron D has a passion for recovery that is infectious and we are thankful God put him in our life. Cameron's care for my son went above and beyond anything we could have ever asked for.I would also like to thank Joseph G who also worked closely with my son and further impacted our lives for the better.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at Pace Recovery Center, and I feel compelled to share my negative review. It is evident that this facility prioritizes money over genuinely helping patients recover from their addictions.From the moment I stepped foot into Pace Recovery Center, I noticed a disturbing trend. The staff seemed more focused on billing and financial matters than providing the necessary care and support for individuals struggling with addiction. It became apparent that their primary concern was maximizing profits rather than ensuring patients' well-being.Throughout my stay, it became increasingly clear that the staff lacked genuine empathy and compassion for the patients. Instead of fostering a supportive environment conducive to recovery, the staff members seemed disinterested and detached. Their lack of investment in the patients' well-being was evident in their rushed interactions and minimal effort to provide personalized care.Furthermore, the treatment plans at Pace Recovery Center appeared to be cookie-cutter approaches, designed to keep patients in the program for as long as possible. It seemed as though the main goal was to prolong treatment, in turn maximizing revenue for the facility. Each session felt like a mere checkbox exercise, with little emphasis on addressing individual needs or tailoring treatment plans accordingly.Moreover, the facility's focus on profits was evident in their highly inflated prices. The exorbitant fees charged for the services provided were simply unjustifiable. It felt as though patients were being taken advantage of during a vulnerable time in their lives, with the primary motivation being financial gain rather than genuine care and support.Overall, my experience at Pace Recovery Center was disheartening and discouraging. It is clear that the facility's priorities lie in monetary gain rather than helping patients recover from their addictions. The lack of genuine care, empathy, and personalized treatment plans only further solidify this observation. I would strongly advise anyone seeking addiction treatment to explore alternative options that prioritize the well-being of their patients rather than their own financial interests.Also while at pace, mike Tsao was the the lead residence manager of my house, however he constantly abused the power he had over the essentially powerless clients he was supposed to be caring for . During my time there, the most striking example was when I was in the privacy of my own room. I was completely nude as I had just got out of the shower and had the door completely closed. But pace removed all locks to every door. I heard Mr. Tsao knock at the door, I immediately screamed for him to not enter. However, Mr. Tsao was not phased, and entered regardless. He had realized my nude state and instead of leaving the room he stared at me for over 5 very long seconds. I yelled countless times for him to leave but only after the fourth or fifth time he left the room. I had never felt so violated in my life. I was overcome with anger and disgust. After contemplating what had just transpired, I confronted Mr. Tsao. Instead of apologizing profusely, he laughed it off as he knew the power he held over my and there was nothing I could do about it. I was in disbelief and was disturbed beyond belief. I seriously considered calling the police but was petrified of what pace would ve done to me. I felt there was nothing I could do. Mike tsao violated me in ways I have never experienced in my life. I have no idea how many patients experienced mr. Tsao s disgusting violations of privacy but feel I am not alone. I hope future people in need realize how powerless pace makes their clients feel and that they could take advantage of them of them at anytime. I really hope Mr. Tsao will be held responsible but I doubt it. All I can do now is share my story and hope more people never experience what I did.

PACE has been very helpful and offers great programs for mental health & substance abuse/addiction recovery. Everyone who works there is very kind and is committed to helping you out with your needs. Cameron D., the outpatient case manager, has been amazing to work with he goes above and beyond for all of his clients and makes sure that they re getting everything they need to succeed. He has definitely been the highlight of my experience, and I could not be more appreciative of all the work that he does. Overall, PACE has been a great experience, and I would recommend it to others.

My son has been at PACE since February 2023 and I am completely amazed by the recovery and growth I have seen in him. The culture that the team creates is so supportive. There are many staff that have helped contribute to his growth, but wanted to give a special shoutout to the following staff: Outpatient case manager, Cameron Danna - thank you for helping my son get a job, life skills, back working with a sponsor and acceptance into college!! Rita Yacoub, his lead therapist has made great strides helping my son work through past traumas and working on life and coping skills. Alexi Farmer was his inpatient case manager and was so caring in his guidance when my son was going through some of his darkest hours, and helping him to be able to be independent in an outpatient sober living home. I will forever be grateful to the quality of care my son has received.

I contacted PACE about a year ago when my son was going through some serious struggles. We had been through a number of facilities with him without a lot of improvement in his functioning. PACE was perfect for us because they have an all encompassing approach to treat mental health treatment as well as addiction issues with equal expertise.From the moment we called, we were treated with kindness and professionalism. Now, it is a year later and our son is celebrating his recovery anniversary. In addition, his mental heath is no longer a struggle for him and he is settling in to the life he always wanted. A huge thank you to clinical director Will and his team for their continued support.

3 years ago, I had zero hope for a better future and had completely given up on my life, passions, and dreams. Depression and addiction controlled my life for the entire decade prior to going to Pace in 2020. I'd been to many treatment centers beforehand to no availl. Pace is the only program that gave me long-term success in my recovery. Unlike other treatment centers where you are in and out within 30 to 90 days, Pace takes a long term and steady approach with a community that's unmatched. I received hands-on help from my case managers, therapists, and psychiatrists whenever I needed it. I could tell that these people actually cared. I spent 3 months in Pace's inpatient program, and another 9 months in Pace's outpatient program. Upon leaving Pace, the team helped me build a sustainable recovery plan that I still go by to this day. By sticking to this plan, and doing as directed while in the program, I have gained my life back. I'm passionate about so many things now including work, school, surfing and more. I no longer struggle with depression, and I have a community of people I can call on if I ever need help. I can't thank Pace, Lenny, Brian G, and Alexi enough for believing in me and giving me my life back. Without them, I'm unsure that I would be here typing this today. Thanks guys!

I have been actively involved in the addiction and mental health field for the past nine years, diligently working and referring clients to Pace throughout this time. When it comes to programs specifically designed for young adult men, Pace is one of my top choices. The sense of community they have cultivated at Pace is truly unparalleled. I have yet to witness such a supportive and uplifting environment elsewhere. Their clinical staff, without fail, have always exhibited a high level of professionalism and genuine care towards their clients. Even in cases that seemed utterly hopeless, I have witnessed remarkable transformations when individuals were admitted to Pace. The program's ability to build a strong, nurturing community around these individuals has proven to be instrumental in their journey towards recovery and personal growth. Such is my confidence in the quality of care provided by Pace that I wholeheartedly recommend this facility to my own family and close friends. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence in helping individuals overcome addiction and mental health challenges.

A truly unique experience is what Pace offers to it's clients. Having worked in the substance abuse and mental health space for almost a decade I can strongly say the quality of care Pace provides to young men is unmatched. From their amazing clinicians down to their boots on the ground day staff, Pace provides a space for their clients to continuously grow and find their true authentic selves.
