About The Council on Recovery – Houston
The Council on Recovery is a nonprofit organization in Houston, Texas, that provides substance abuse treatment. The facility has been in operation since 1946. Their services include relapse prevention, substance abuse education and outpatient treatment. They help clients struggling with drugs, alcohol and co-occurring mental health disorders. In addition to helping the individual, The Council on Recovery helps the whole family through education, support and treatment. If clients are unable to visit the facility, telehealth services are available. The organization accepts most private insurance plans for payment. If clients don’t have insurance, they have state funded treatment programs available to help with the cost.
The Council stands out as the largest nonprofit provider of addiction care in the Houston area. One thing I like about this organization is that it has numerous prevention and education programs for people in the community. The in school prevention & education program provides evidence based prevention and addiction education services to grade school students. The older adult services help elderly individuals struggling with addiction with tailored treatment for their needs. Additionally, The Cradles Project provides intervention services to parents with children under six and expectant parents.
Clients who enter the outpatient program will receive clinical assessment before experts develop a treatment plan based on the client’s condition. A therapist will help the client with implementing the treatment plan. Activities that individuals will likely participate in during the program include individual counseling and family group therapy. Clients will also receive education on relapse prevention techniques and get access to recovery workshops. Holistic services such as yoga and healing circles are also available for patients to participate in as a part of their recovery.
