STEP 4
Congratulations you are ready to start your recovery journey. Here are a few things you need to know about our clinic.
Program Services
The clinic is licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, Permitted by the Drug Enforcement Agency and accreditation by CARF – The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. We operate within a harm reduction model to ensure a positive therapeutic relationship with the patient. Our clinic offers a combination of medication to manage withdrawal symptoms and counseling, education and resources that facilitate a better quality of life. The theoretical approach of harm reduction allows the patient to feel supported, at whatever level of functioning they may be, without fear of judgment and/or punitive practices that are sometimes found in other treatment programs. During your intake, you can discuss with the nurse your medication preference, we prescribe methadone, suboxone and Subutex. The doctor has some specific requirements for prescribing suboxone and Subutex. There are some specific federal regulations related to methadone that are important to know as you start. The DEA limits the amount of take medication a patient can receive based on the time you have been continuously enrolled in the program. See the medication page for more information. The first few weeks of your treatment are focused on getting you to a stable dose of medication to minimize your withdrawal symptoms.
During this time, the nurse will monitor your withdrawal symptoms and the doctor will adjust your dose accordingly. One important thing to know, if you are prescribed methadone, federal law mandates the starting dose and maximum daily dose increase. During this initial stabilization period you will meet with your counselor to complete a biopsychosocial assessment and initial treatment plan. You and your counselor will discuss your counseling needs and develop a schedule that works for you. By federal law we must meet with you for counseling at least one time monthly. Some payers, like Medicaid and Medicare may require more individual and/or group counseling sessions. We do offer telehealth option for counseling sessions. After your period of stabilization, and for the remainder of your treatment you will continue to receive medication and counseling.
Please make sure to review the handbook located at the bottom of the page for more information on our program services.

Counseling Services
Individual TherapyDepending on client needs, length of treatment, and level of care, sessions with the primary therapist may be initially scheduled once per week. It is during these sessions that the treatment plan is developed with input from the client and multidisciplinary staff. Once the patient is stabilized the patient we will be seen at least monthly. Family TherapyThese sessions may include participation from anyone significant in the client’s life such as a spouse, significant other, parent, sibling, etc. With the client’s permission, these sessions may occur in person or through the use of HIPAA-compliant technology for online or telephone sessions.
Group Therapy
Group therapy consists of therapeutic groups led by a licensed clinical professional and provides clients the opportunity to explore issues and process their recoveries in a safe, peer-supported atmosphere. Medical and Psychiatric SessionsResearch by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) shows that comprehensive, integrated care significantly increases long-term recovery and quality of life success rates. Therefore, clients are screened for medical and psychiatric co-morbidity at admissions and during treatment. As needed or requested medical and psychiatric referrals are offered using our network of physician and ancillary service providers.
