Pharmacy was excellent. Psychiatrist tried to take me off most of my medication without giving me adequate support. I’m schizoaffective and have severe cPTSD. Psychiatrist was not knowledgeable about trauma and pressed for details about my experience being tortured as a child. Not trans-friendly, either. Do not come here unless you really have to.

This facility does not deserve even a single star. I am highly disappointed with my experience here. It was clear that they prioritized insurance concerns over my brother's mental health. The staff regards mental health as a stigma rather than recognizing it as a legitimate illness. This is truly one of the worst places I have encountered.

Accepted Insurance

The Harris Center Northwest Community Service Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Texas provides a safe environment for medical detox. This setting is crucial to provide medical care during withdrawal. Certain withdrawal symptoms can cause life-threatening conditions, but patients in a supervised clinical setting have treatment readily available to address any symptoms before they become severe. Treatment can also be provided for co-occurring physical and mental health issues.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab programs are geared toward clients in early recovery. They also provide intensive support for clients in crisis and those at an increased relapse risk. Clients receive housing and meals while in inpatient care, allowing them to focus solely on their recovery. Most programs prioritize addiction counseling but may draw on various psychotherapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, RBT, trauma therapy, and motivational interviewing. Life skills training and holistic therapies are also common in inpatient care.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Alcoholism occurs when a person becomes physically and psychologically dependent on alcohol. Attending a professional alcohol rehab in Texas can provide customized intervention methods to address the physical, mental, and relational challenges of addiction.

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Substance abuse treatment is available in Texas for anyone who's struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. These programs usually provide a comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment plan, and include evidence-based treatments, like therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful coping strategies, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help with emotional regulation and stress.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
child-program thumbnail image

Child Program

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
teen-program thumbnail image

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

It is the last resort because there is no real mental health help for teens and kids who are on Medicaid (like foster kids and adopted kids etc.) The building is run down and creepy. Parking is the worst. They finally got us a new case worker, she seems really nice and like she cares, but outside of that, the communication is not great and they hold the kids meds for ransome. They put them on really strong meds that they can't just stop and give one month at a time. Then NO ONE calls to set up and appointment and they don't make the next appointment at the current appointment. They have a portal and you can't do anything in there and close right at 5pm. People with lots of kids and work 50+ hours a week knows how fast a month goes by and you need refills and well, too bad. So, I guess my son is just not taking this one pill anymore, he is out and well, they won't refill until his appointment on Monday. And if he ends up in inpatient or at risk of hurting others, well, no one will be accountable for that either. It is a sad and bleak world out there for kids in the system... no one actually cares... not even the professionals who took an oath to "first, do no harm." Maybe their administration should pretend to be a patient and go through all the steps and intake and paperwork and the hours and hours and hours, and maybe once they have experienced things from the parent and patient point of view, they can actually helps kids and not just keep pushing them through mounds of paperwork and checkboxes to "keep them compliant" in care. Cause at the end of the day, people just seem to be "doing their job" but they don't seem to care about what their job is and who it is actually for.

Response from the owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We recognize how difficult it is to advocate for your child in a system that often feels overwhelming and impersonal. We understand that timely medication management, follow-up scheduling, and clear communication are not optional—they are essential. While we can’t speak to individual cases, we want you to know that your feedback is being heard. We deeply value the opportunity to improve—not just in process, but in the way we show up for families who need more than a checkbox. If you’re willing, we’d appreciate the chance to connect with you directly. Please call us at 713-970-7000 so we can learn more and address your concerns.

My 24 year old grandson informed me that he had a good experience at his first appointment. Please advise who should he speak to for help with an apartment and a job? Thank you very much for your professionalism.

Response from the owner
Thank you for your feedback — we’re glad to hear your grandson's first appointment went well. For assistance with housing and employment resources, we recommend that he speak with his assigned case manager or care coordinator. They can help connect him to the appropriate services and community programs based on his specific needs. If he’s unsure who that is, please feel free to have him call us at 713-970-7000, and we’ll make sure he’s connected to the right person. We appreciate your support and are here to help.

Would give no stars if I could, Dr. Andrews suggested smoothies as a solution to my eating disorder, said I didn’t need treatment for it because I “looked ok,” later forcibly hospitalized me in a hospital where the staff was physically abusive. The care is free so that is nice but also can be carceral and negligent.

Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your concerns and are committed to providing respectful, compassionate, and evidence-based care to every individual. We’d like the opportunity to learn more about what happened and ensure your concerns are addressed appropriately. Please consider reaching out to us directly at 713-970-7000 so we can better understand your experience and work to improve the care we provide.
