About Bay Area Recovery Center – Webster
Bay Area Recovery Center in Webster, Texas is an outpatient alcohol and drug rehab facility that exclusively accepts men and women who are ordered by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the federal government, or the Galveston County Probation Department to receive treatment. Full payment is provided through government funding.
Their outpatient programs include a faith based intensive outpatient program, a supportive outpatient program, and a treatment program based on 12 Step philosophy. Their intensive outpatient program holds group meetings in the evening from 6 pm till 9 pm Monday through Friday which makes it convenient for people who work. IOP clients must attend 3 group sessions per week and also participate in one hour of individual counseling each week for a total of 10 hours of treatment a week.
Their supportive outpatient program is shorter and provides group counseling for 3 hours each week with one additional hour of individual counseling per month and a total of 13 hours of treatment per month. All group sessions are interactive, education focused, and include 12 Step programming.
They cover topics like relapse prevention strategies, interpersonal communication, anger management, and the development of life skills such as self control, honesty, and critical thinking. The spiritual aspect of recovery is incorporated into all their programs.
As a practitioner who has worked with court ordered only addiction recovery groups, as well as mixed groups, I believe that attending a program where all participants are court ordered has certain advantages. There is less stigma among peers, and therefore greater likelihood for honesty and accountability. In addition, the counselors are more familiar with the differing legal and reporting requirements that come with serving mandated clients. This ensures that important paperwork is not overlooked or prepared incorrectly which could delay the culmination of a client’s legal responsibilities.
If you are ordered by the court to receive addiction treatment, it would be wise to consider the pros and cons of a specialized program.
