About Homeward Bound
Known for its legendary cowboy culture, Dallas, Texas is where you’ll find Homeward Bound. They’re one of Texas’s oldest and largest behavioral health agencies. Their programs have helped over 250,000 people reach recovery over the course of 45 years and counting. You can access outpatient substance abuse and mental health care here to start or continue your journey.
They serve all clients here regardless of finances. You can use private or public insurance including BlueCross BlueShield, Amerigroup and Medicaid. They also provide discounts based on income and family size for vital services if you don’t have insurance.
They offer expert backed outpatient approaches including addiction education and counseling as well as peer support and an introduction to 12 step programs.
Dallas Deflects Program
What strikes me most is their Dallas Deflects program. This track provides recovery services to divert people with low level, nonviolent misdemeanor offenses to treatment instead of jail. You can access trauma informed care, including a personalized case management and discharge plan. You’ll benefit from a second chance to get your life on track and prevent future offenses.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Another great feature I noticed was their medication assisted treatment program. You can access FDA approved medications like Suboxone and Subutex to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This can create a solid foundation to focus solely on getting to the root of addiction.
Positive Client Experiences
Many former clients expressed satisfaction with their services. Some praised their helpful, compassionate staff and appreciated the various options for customized care. Recovery is a unique experience though so be sure to research and consider multiple facilities to find the best fit.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.
Peer support is an important aspect of group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction. As you and your peers share stories and encourage each other, it fosters a sense of community and belonging that helps you process your feelings and reduces the sense of isolation that is associated with addiction.
Individual therapy offers you a confidential space to address the complexities of your drug or alcohol addiction. Your therapist guides these personalized sessions to help develop self awareness and manage stress. This promotes sustained sobriety and overall well being.
Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.
Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.
The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic within the family unit. Therapists help individual members to identify and change harmful behavior patterns and improve communication. This provides a stable foundation for the family and their loved one's recovery.
