What sets us apart from most treatment programs in the North Dallas, Frisco, and Plano areas

We hire only Master’s degree level counselors that are trained in mental health issues as well as substance/alcohol use disorders and treatment. This is highly relevant as the vast majority of those seeking help also need their mental health issues addressed in their treatment planning. These need addressing to reduce relapse rates.

We have been addressing addiction treatment in the greater Dallas area beginning in 1999 . We are one of the longest tenured outpatient program providers that other organizations, therapists, employee assistant programs, and many residential programs in Texas and other states have trusted for outpatient care for 18 years.

We practice a Continuum of Care Model of treatment. That means whether stepping down from residential care, detox, or for those directly admitted into our treatment programs we target 2 months of intensive outpatient care followed by a year of free weekly aftercare meetings. All aftercare meetings are counselor led, most by the counselor that treated you in outpatient. Follow up rates 3 months and less do not produce reliable results. Treatment reviews have found a program follow-up of one year exhibiting recovery rates above 65% and as high as 90%. We do treatment based on a model of care in 2018 not 1980.

We are an affilliate of The Right Step (TRS).  TRS has been delivering affordable, quality treatment solutions for alcoholism and other drug addictions since 1990 and is licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The Right Step is also accredited Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organizations.
