About Legacy Counseling Center – Dallas
Located in Dallas, Texas, Legacy Cares is an organization that has a Counseling Center for individuals struggling with substance use disorder. The addiction treatment services they offer include the intensive and traditional outpatient program along with individual counseling. One thing unique I noticed about this facility is they focus on providing these services to individuals who have HIV or AIDS. Clients in the Legacy Substance Abuse Program are required to be 18 years of age, HIV positive with a letter of diagnosis, and remain alcohol and drug free.
Substance abuse counselors will help HIV and AIDS clients cope with their illness and also address other mental health issues and concerns related to their addiction. The facility will provide this care to you at a time that’s convenient for you in the day or the evening. There are also bilingual counselors available if needed.
The intensive outpatient program is nine weeks long and requires you to attend sessions 10 hours per week. You’ll participate in three hour group sessions three days a week and a one hour individual counseling session. Helpful topics that will be covered include life skills development and relapse prevention education. You’ll learn about the effects of drugs and alcohol on HIV and AIDS and get the resources you need to live a sober lifestyle.
Legacy Cares is located on Mckinney Avenue, which is just a few minutes from various fun activities in downtown Dallas that you can enjoy after treatment sessions. You can visit The Dallas World Aquarium or enjoy a nice walk at the Civic Garden.
