They publicly share information about you to family etc. No regard for HIPA. No regard for privacy etc. I had a councilor named Glenn who literally lied to my mom saying I was using without my permission. My family then tested me and found he was lying but still not just unprofessional but illegal. They try to just hustle money out of you and then try to make your situation worse than it is. Only went here because of insurance but I promise you, you will get no help here. Just dirty business

Question iconWho Answers?

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.

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.

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.
12-step icon12-Step
12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.
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

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.
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.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
postpartum-program thumbnail image
Postpartum Program
The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.

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.

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

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.

The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic within the family unit. Therapists help individual members to identify and change harmful behavior patterns and improve communication. This provides a stable foundation for the family and their loved one's recovery.

The right life skills training will help you build the skills you need for recovery. You'll learn how to solve problems, improve your social life, enhance your mental health, and make good decisions. This is a key component of drug rehab programs in Texas.

Where to begin in thanking PRC for giving me the tools to save myself. Super friendly right from the beginning. Admissions had me scheduled for check in before I got there. Linda was compassionate and kind as she was doing my intake assessment. When I was taken to the men's dorm, Ron, gave me the lay of the land and made sure to remind me I chose to come here because I wanted to live differently. Colleen, Reanna, Jaime and Kevin provided insightful exercises that not only challenged my understanding of my disease they also allowed me to understand myself in a new way. Dr Powers' Positive Psychology is amazing and I can't thank him and the staff enough for my recovery.

Steer clear of this facility. I would give this place zero stars if it were possible. The facade they put on during the tour is like nothing I've ever seen. You soon realize how awful this place is once you've fully checked in. The physical aspect alone is enough to turn any individual away. The entire building could use a makeover. The lawn lacked maintenance. Some of the rooms are without storage for the residents' belongings. The cafeteria is unsanitary. The food is poor. You would think they would provide a balanced nutritious diet for the residents during recovery, unfortunately it's quite the opposite. The only other option for food is a couple of vending machines stocked with more unhealthy choices. Several of the staff members lack compassion and empathy and tend to speak to the residents in a disrespectful manner. Almost as if they're beneath them. Michelle, Hailey, Crystal, Rebecca, Tracy and Ron could all stand to have more training on the proper way to treat people. Filing grievances is almost pointless. It takes several days before they're even addressed. Completely Unacceptable! As a family member, getting in contact with management, specifically the executive director Rebecca is as hard as pulling teeth. Although They somehow manage to contact you frequently when they're inquiring about potential admissions. As far as the medical aspect goes. The nurses on staff are decent. You get telehealth visits from the doctor who may drop in once in a two-week span. How much time can one doctor actually spend with each patient when the facility is at maximum capacity?Be prepared to be reprimanded for exercising your first amendment right to speak freely. Overall, the place lack's structure. I've seen animals treated better. Can't help but wonder how often this place undergoes state inspections. They should definitely take the P out of PRC because there's nothing positive about the "positive recovery center".Do better. The residents deserve it!

Place is a complete dump! 5 people to a "room" should tell you enough (prison is better!!!). Dr Powers has Napoleon God complex. When I came into Houston Garden Oaks, I was in a very severe bipolar depressive episode where I could barely form a sentence without Herculean effort. Dr Powers is not a psychiatrist but thinks that he is one and decided to put me on 5 different medications when I was taking NO medication before.He put me on this cocktail of prescription drugs designed to zombify you including; Duloxetine 1x day, Buspirone 4x a day Zyprexa 1x a day, Hydroxezine, Trazodone. I quickly became a submissive zombie which I guess is the point to make the 30 days in this facility which is a half step above Jail.I give it 1 star for the many homeless and career ex Cons I met that actually turned out to be Good people!!!

The Garden Oaks Positive Recovery Center recently provided services to a family member. The facility was good and felt very safe. The staff were very professional and provided great care. Tom Dodson was my family member's counselor. He was extremely instrumental in my family member's recovery. He is an experienced, kind, and genuine person. He knows his stuff and has continued to follow up on my family member after they were discharged. He encouraged us to contact him any time we need additional support or information. He's the best!

It was an honor to support you and your family, Kip. Like Tom mentioned, we are here for you and your family if you ever need anything!

This review is for the Intensive Outpatient Program. If you are looking to benefit your recovery and grow this is not the place to do it. The facilitator is a nice guy but that is all. He is boring, dull, non reactive, no control over the group, and uninterested. He allows the group to run free as he doesn t have the maturity or knowledge to facilitate a group. Very inexperienced for his position. I went for 5 weeks voluntarily and paid out of pocket. Simply put, I was robbed. 5200 and there is no refunds. I expressed my concerns to the owner of the overall disappointment in the group at week 2. Nothing changed. I continued to go in hopes of a turning for the better but it just got worse. This is the first review I have ever written in my life but I feel obligated to share my experience so others will not have to go through what I did. This place will not help your recovery as they just aren t equipped like other programs. No therapists or any individual work either. You sit in a small room with up to 12 people. It s similar to a holding cell. Just not good at all. And it disappoints me that I am writing such a poor review. The owner and facilitator are nice guys. Hopefully this review will motivate the company to do things differently. I have been to outpatient programs and they are beneficial. Positive Recovery is not even in the same conversation as the ones I m referring to.

I went in for detox and then the 30 day program and I was treated so well for the intake. The doctor noticed my pulse was very low and sent me to River Oaks Hospital (ALSO TOP NOTCH) I m getting discharged tomorrow from the hospital and then going straight to the program. I m really excited to see what s in store for my recovery and I will encourage ANYONE that has Medicaid to call and get in. I have United Healthcare Medicaid and they accept it. If you have a different Medicaid insurance, change it to United Healthcare beforehand that way you ll get in. They also offer suboxone for opiate addiction and that really helps. Good luck to whoever sees this!

So glad you had a positive experience, Lauren, and for being a beacon of hope for others on their recovery journey!

I just finished a 30 day stay at PRC.. what an amazing experience. I must comment on my AMAZING counselor Tom Dodson. He helped me grow sooo much. His knowledge and understanding of the human experience was mind blowing. Not only did he coach me on my sobriety, he helped me with my family and my job. His attentiveness to his clients is above and beyond. He truly cares for his clients in a way that makes you feel you are a valued human no matter where you've been. I'm so grateful to have had him in my life for a short period of time. What a blessing he is to all he comes in contact with. Thank you
