Four Rivers Outreach

Four Rivers Outreach Life Renewal Program is a treatment center located in Sherman, Texas. They assist adults who are struggling with co-occurring and substance abuse disorders. Their program is 12 months long and divided into three phases.

While you are receiving services, during your time off you can explore the area during your time off. Some places to check out and see are the Harber Wildlife Museum, Sherman Skateland and the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. These offer great opportunities for sober recreation and also give you the chance to indulge in nature therapy.

Phase one of the recovery process will be the first 30 days. During this time, they will show you how to successfully manage day to day life by developing structure and creating a relapse prevention program.

Once you’ve completed this phase, you’ll transition into the second one. It will be seven months long and emphasize overall wellness. You’ll learn how to live in balance and focus on living just for today. They will help you develop coping skills, manage stress and understand the power of patience.

The next and final phase will be four months long. During this time, your care team will discuss aftercare planning. They’ll explain what you’ll experience once you complete their program, steps you need to take and how to find full-time employment. They can even connect you with work opportunities around the community, which may include working at a nearby dental clinic, their thrift store, worksite cleanup or a printing and graphics company to strengthen job development skills.

Prior to graduation from the program, they want to make sure you’ve achieved certain goals. These include finding reliable housing, steady income, a valid driver’s license, car insurance, and a reliable vehicle.
Their phase four of the program is tailored to men who have graduated from the program successfully. In this phase, they can provide safe, supportive dorm-style living with a laundry room, private bathrooms, meals and a kitchen.
