About The Menninger Clinic

The Menninger Clinic provides substance abuse and mental health treatment for adolescents and adults in Houston, Texas. They offer inpatient and outpatient services. Your recovery starts with a thorough assessment so they can determine your needs and see if their service is a good fit.

Their unique program offers multiple pathways that you can select to emphasize treatment in the areas you need most. In addition to substance abuse, you can choose other aspects, like emotional regulation, to examine new coping mechanisms.

Guests attend individual therapy where they can address the root causes of their addiction issues. These sessions help you identify healthier coping skills, recognize substance use triggers and learn relapse prevention strategies for the future. It allows one on one time with a skilled professional where you can share feelings related to your addiction.

Group psychotherapy sessions provide time with others in recovery who may share similar backgrounds and challenges. They can create a support network and reduce feelings of isolation that often come with substance abuse or mental health conditions. You will access proven methods, like dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and self-compassion.

They have drug or alcohol recovery groups where you find continued support for your recovery. Family involvement is encouraged. Social workers can schedule meetings with loved ones where they can understand your journey and learn about the disease of addiction.

Before completing treatment, you’ll have a discharge plan that assists with ongoing recovery treatment. The team will suggest the level of treatment that helps with your long term recovery goals.

They have a large, 50 acre campus with amenities like a saltwater pool, courtyard and a fully equipped gym. You’ll also have chef prepared meals with vegetarian and gluten free options available.

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

aftercare iconAftercare

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.

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.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

My doctor was not available anymore because he was laid off supposedly. No one from the Clinic reached out to me beforehand to let me know that this person who I had been working with would no longer be able to provide care for me. This was a terrible shock, as I had developed a relationship with my doctor. My doctor was wonderful and I felt very cared for. Menninger Clinic should have done more to provide for those patients that were under that doctor's care.

I was questioned multiple times if I was abusing my medication as soon as I got there. Bridge program leader is the worst mental health practitioner I've ever met. Nurses busted into my room without knocking. Will ask you if you are dissociated while you have a panic attack. Dr. will get mad at you if they are unable to help you. Overall, it's not great, but it's probably better than most. Good food, bridge program is 6.5/10. Annie king is the bomb tho! Great person.

If you have any issues that aren t related directly to addiction don t go here.If you were/are struggling with sexuality or sex related mental health issues DON T go here.If you want more than 2 hours (maybe) of ACTUAL mental health assistance DON T go here.The nurses (and food) were mostly wonderful and my therapist (the ONE time I got to see her in 2 weeks) was wonderful But the psychiatric staff are not there to help.It was almost a year ago I went in. Optimistic, eager to treat EXTREME depression and get help that could make my life worth living, and I TRIED harder than I ever have in my life to be positive, adaptable and optimistic (not easy to do when depressed)Instead of getting help i was talked down to and ignored by the psychiatric staff. Even after taking notes and asking EVERY DAY to either receive more care OR receive SOME kind of ADHD treatment, I was looked down on for my sexual history and my outsider status as the only patient there WITHOUT wealthy parents.And since my issues weren t substance-related they basically looked at me like I was a waste of their time.Hours and HOURS of unoccupied free time for THOUSANDS of dollars with NOTHING on the weekends???500 group sessions a week with MAYBE a single therapy session???Save your money. You ll be better off mentally and financially if you don t trust this institution.

We were so impressed by the staff who run the AOP (Assisted Outpatient Program). The weekly sessions are intense and thorough. The staff were professional yet compassionate. Every person we came into contact with during our week there was so welcoming. From the dining hall to the front desk to the person manning the entrance gates, we were treated with respect and kindness, which just added to the general feeling that Menninger s Clinic is a good place to receive help. We ll always be grateful for the time (although short) spent there.

Neurodivergent? Gender non-conforming? Then move along, you're not welcome here. I showed up, naive, miserable, and so eager to engage with the program that numerous staff commented on it. 6 weeks, a new mortgage, and every ounce of savings later, what do I have to show for it? A misdiagnosis that would haunt me for years, a recommendation to an actually competent program, and lots of new debts.What can you expect at Menninger Clinic?Pros:-Comfortable facilities-Decent meal optionsCons:-Staff unwilling to respect chosen name/pronouns-Homophobic staff that will take away TV privileges for watching a tame movie about *gasp* homosexuals!?!-A treatment team with no regard for you and your needs-A cookie cutter treatment program with absolutely no room for personalized care-A philosophy that actively discourages inclusion/development of an external support network-An attitude of superiority shared by all Members of staff I interacted withMore money than you know how to spend? Need somewhere to put your embarrassment of a child for a few months? Then check out this great opportunity! Want to actually improve your mental well being? Then I would suggest a hard pass unless you want to waste time and resources that could be used on actual treatment.Here's some exciting things you can expect based on my own time as a patient:-A complete misunserstanding of meditation and mindfulness in general-Regular classes that give even the most underfunded public schools a run for their money-Large concrete walls that keep out any unwanted publicity of your family's "little secret"-A patient handbook last updated around the turn of the century. Need someone to tell you the expectations and rules? Too bad!-Personal care perfect for crushing your last remnants of self esteem-Respect ( sorry, couldn't get through this one with a straight face. Menninger Clinic only respects their back accounts)-As many as 3 hours of treatment per day, wow!-Refusal to provide any continuing care recommendations unless you finish their arbitrarily long program-A well earned mistrust of numerous proven treatment methods based on their gross misapplicationAll jokes aside, do not attend the Menninger Clinic if you want to improve. 3 years later, and I think I've finally worked through the trauma associated with my experiences at the Menninger Clinic. I can see the remnants of what was probably once a great program, but it's long since degraded into a public school counselor level of care. That's not even an exaggeration, at least my old school counselor had a net 0 impact, I genuinely believe Menninger Clinic set my treatment goals back by years. I still have flashbacks to red faced staff yelling at me for things that, as an undiagnosed autistic person, I didn't understand. You'd think the medical professionals would've noticed, having observed me 24/7 for 6 weeks in both a clinical and miliue environment, but I suppose a misdiagnosis that led me in the total wrong direction for years is the best I could hope for *apparently*. Menninger Clinic led me to mistrust proven treatment methods by applying them with all the grace of someone who took a weekend course at the learning annex. Personally and wholeheartedly, I believe a society that respected mental health would shut this facility down for patient abuse. But alas, we don't live in that society so predatory organizations like the Menninger Clinic are allowed to prey upon the sick and helpless.Closing thoughts:Menninger Clinic does not wish to help you.Menninger Clinic does not respect you.Menninger Clinic does not take responsibility for the damage they cause.Menninger Clinic does not see you as a person.Menninger Clinic is a predator, draining the life and money out of the poor saps who assume their reputation is deserved.I'm writing this, years later, at recommendation of a REAL therapist, to help me find closure on this miserable chapter of my life. My time at Menninger Clinic has far reaching implications that damaged my faith in the mental health profession

Paid for what we thought was the best sent our child off premises for drug testing. Purchased urine! We got the negative results. Quite a set back!
