The Recovery Center is an outpatient facility located on Taylor Street in the southwest neighborhood of Wichita Falls, Texas. The location is convenient to many natural and cultural landmarks like Lucy Park, River Bend Nature Center and the Museum of North Texas History. The Joint Commission accredited facility proudly supports clients from the broader Wichita County area and beyond, especially those from surrounding communities like Burkburnett, Iowa Park and Archer City.
They primarily support adults, with specialized care available for veterans and active military personnel. They’re affiliated with the University Behavioral Health (UBH) of Denton and can provide referrals to this facility for detoxification when appropriate. The facility accepts several insurances including Medicaid and TRICARE.
“This place quite literally saved my life…I went from refusing to talk to anyone, to a social butterfly in 29 days. I hope they know the difference they made in my life…” This feedback from a past client echoes the sentiment shared by many who’ve had the chance to receive care at the Recovery Center.
The Recovery Center has 15 years of experience delivering superior quality substance use treatment that has helped thousands break free from substance dependence and live a healthier, more meaningful life. Their whole-person and tailored approach ensures that every aspect of your recovery is handled, empowering you to achieve lasting wellness.
The Recovery Center offers both a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) as a continuum of care for adults struggling with substance use issues. Both programs deliver structured and intensive therapeutic support to help you build lasting recovery skills and achieve long-term wellness. The PHP offers more structure and intensity with less flexibility, suitable for folks with severe symptoms. The IOP offers flexible hours with morning, afternoon and evening sessions available to help you maintain your job, school or other daily routine while navigating recovery.
This program also provides psychiatric support for folks dealing with dually diagnosed mental health issues. It’s about addressing every emotional and physical issue that hinders your healing.
I particularly find their setting quite attractive. They boast a comfortable and homely environment that fosters healing and personal growth. Accessing care in such a nurturing environment that feels like home may improve your chance of maintaining recovery upon leaving the facility. Ongoing support is provided as you move on.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).
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. Residential treatment is often the most effective treatment approach for a person struggling with substance abuse and problem gambling. The Recovery Center is a residential facility that offers ongoing drug and alcohol treatment based on the 12-Step Traditions and proven cognitive behavioral methodology that focuses on addiction and trauma resolution. Their clients continue the treatment process through individualized treatment plans which include personal, group and family therapy.
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers skill-building and process groups to help our clients improve their level of function. Those attending participate in group therapies weekday mornings. Psychiatric follow-up occurs with local providers. The IOP meets three times per week.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
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.
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 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.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ten years strong, Thank you to The Recovery Center and the team of highly trained and skilled individuals who help give me the tools and skills needed to thrive and succeed in life, living with addiction. As of date, I have obtained my Bachelor's in Psychology, working on ...
This place kind of saved my life.. kind of There were a lot of rich people politics while I was here There was a counselor in a wheel chair and kept harping on her mixed race family and kept complaining about being a victim Idk I have been sober for several years but i remember the wheel chair lady was super mean to other employees and it was like a social feat for her having that job
This place quite literally saved my life. When I first arrived, I couldn't get myself to leave my room for the first 2 days (because I was so sick) but the staff worked really hard on getting me regulated on meds. I finally came out of my room, made a group of friends that I'll hold close for the rest of my life, and THE STAFF.... some of the most amazing people I think I'll ever meet. I went from refusing to talk to anyone, to a social butterfly in 29 days. I hope they know the difference they made in my life. I am myself again and it's all because of them. I seriously love each and everyone of them.
I've been to this facility three times. Only the last time was I TRULY ready to completely give all of myself to Recovery. I had a relapse or two, but they always happened when I stopped using the tools that were so easily laid at my feet by both this facility, and my home group (AA) in Lawton. Staying at this Center really gave me a firm foundation of what Recovery should look like. I was able to really get down to the bottom of some of my negative thoughts so I could change them into positive ones. No, the beds aren't the BEST - it's no Ritz Carlton. But in my experience, when I chose to focus more on WHY I was there, little things like the bed became less of an issue.
