About StraightWay Training Center

StraightWay Training Center in Hungerford, Texas, was a residential program for drug and alcohol addiction treatment located just 35 miles southwest of the Houston metropolitan area. They’re closed now but they were a Christian based drug and alcohol rehab program that was founded in 1975 and operated for over three decades to treat whole families, single parents, unwed mothers, and single adults.

Christ Centered Care

Their primary goal was to teach you ways of dealing with daily challenges by using the Living Word of God as your foundation. They offered education and training that supported Biblically based leadership in the home and church and Vocational employment for people who had a life controlled by drug and alcohol addiction.

To be evaluated for the program you had to submit psychiatric records and other treatment reports, undergo a physical examination, and interview. The program was designed to develop a strong base in Christianity and a personal relationship with Jesus. You took individual classes over a three-month period and advanced classes for the following 6 months.

Strict House Rules Limited Outside Contact

Finally, you took leadership courses to support your sustainable recovery and ability to take a leadership role in your home or church. The program used discipleship training and included work in guidance counseling, prison, jail, and street outreach, and community services. They were locally supported and dependent on student sponsorship, but we’re not State licensed nor did they receive federal and state aid.

Fairly strict house rules focused on developing speech and conduct that honored Christ and the program lasted approximately 15 months, with 24/7 supervision. You were allowed visitors after the first two weeks and only after approval.

No incoming phone calls were allowed and outgoing calls could be made, not to exceed two calls each week. The house rules also included bathing and grooming rules, cleaning the facility, abstinence, and censoring incoming and outgoing mail.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
