About The Right Step Houston
The Right Step medical detox is a withdrawal management program that involves the use of medication to safely and comfortably manage the physical withdrawal process under medical supervision. After successful detox, clients are referred to a recovery program.
The residential program is for adults aged 18 and over and uses evidence-based practices to treat substance abuse and co-occurring mental health conditions. Similarly, the intensive outpatient program also relies on evidence-based interventions, but clients return home after each treatment session. Both treatment programs include individual and group counseling, recovery support groups such as AA, and psychoeduction.
Aftercare is typically provided to all participants who complete a treatment program. Services include relapse prevention strategies. At The Right Step, clients have access to an alumni program, which promotes developing a recovery community — a critical component of long-term recovery.
The Right Step accepts most national insurance plans, such as Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, and Medicaid. Before enrolling in a program, it is important to contact your insurance provider to verify coverage, as out-of-network benefits can vary.

My experience at the Houston Right step for PHP was absolutely amazing I myself had some issues with some clients due to my gender identity but that didn’t stop me from working my program. From the moment I entered the program everyone was polite, caring, respectful and supportive both constructively and professionally. Did I get overwhelmed and frustrated at times yes absolutely but I used my coping mechanism and stayed focused and achieved everything that I needed to achieve. I recommend The Right Step to everyone. When I had issues staff listened and understood. Even when I got upset and lashed out on the staff my last couple days because I was stressed but I did apologize for that behavior.
I had both a positive and not-so-positive experience here. I was safely medically detoxed (nurses Kay and Michelle are amazing and truly care about each patient), and transitioned to residential inpatient "rehab". I mostly enjoyed the program; however, I was put on a "Gender Restriction Contract", which meant I could not engage with members of the opposite sex, because I had a (what they thought was an inappropriate) relationship with another resident. I essentially could not even look at - and ESPECIALLY not speak to/with - ANY member of the opposite sex. Being a kind, courteous, and polite human, I had an especially difficult time following this rule. I could not - and just basically would not - ignore someone who spoke to me, even to respond to, "Good morning!", especially since I'm a grown ass adult and found it ridiculous that I was told who I could and could not speak to.
There are several employees at TRS who truly care about the residents - RAs Jasmine, Sarah, Matt, Mikaela, Brandy, counselors Lisa, Alora, and Lillian (Lillian is one tough cookie, but she does truly care, and I came to love her), psychiatrists Paula and Alaa, Alumni Coordinator Jessica (who is AMAZING), Admission Coordinators Ray and Nate, and the Assistant Director Rita honestly, truly are kind, patient people who seem to care about the success of each resident.
Having named the "good" employees, there are some employees that a potential patient NEEDS to be made aware of: RA Kelly, a man who is verbally aggressive and abusive, PHP instructor Clay, who makes you think he cares but plays both sides of the fence by telling his boss everything even remotely negative things you do or say, and last - but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST - is the Program Director Daryl-Lyn. Daryl-Lyn is (hands down!) the one of the most negative, biased, judgemental, unhappy human beings I've ever met. She NEVER (and I'm using that extreme word purposely) has anything (!!!!) nice, or even remotely constructive, to say to a patient, ever. If Daryl-Lyn asks to see you in her office, just know it is for something you've done wrong. I actually asked a lot of my co-patients if they ever heard her say anything positive, and not.one.person said yes.
All in all, I would say I had an "Eh" experience at Promises Right Step, Houston. I made some lasting friendships but couldn't speak to a lot of them (gender restriction) and felt I was walking on eggshells, was medically detoxed but now am suffering withdrawals from Suboxone prescribed there (essentially they got me addicted to just a different drug), and didn't have to share a bedroom but everyone has to share a toilet/sink restroom with a connecting room. The showers had warm water and great water pressure, but the floor was always gross enough you have to wear shower shoes. Unless you're in PHP, you are allowed ZERO electronics, ESPECIALLY your phone, which is confiscated when you're strip searched upon admission. There aren't beverages 24/7 because they lock the cafeteria, which means no coffee whenever you want - IF the coffee machine is working and not out of coffee, which happens multiple times, every day.
Would I tell someone to not go get help there? No. I would just advise them to do their research and weigh the options. Best of luck with anyone struggling with drugs and/or alcohol. You're not alone.
If you’re looking for a place that truly changes lives, The Right Step Houston is it.
From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine care. Ms. Raye was the very first face I saw—her friendly, kind, and welcoming energy immediately put me at ease during a time when I needed it most. That first impression meant everything.
The admissions process was smooth and professional thanks to Ms Rita, the admissions director, and Mr. Nate, who made sure everything was handled with care and respect.
I also want to give a huge shoutout to my counselor, Geoffrey, who went above and beyond. His guidance, patience, and real understanding made a major impact on my journey. Ms. Jessica, the alumni counselor, also deserves recognition for continuing to support people even after they leave—she genuinely cares.
Ms. Lillian played a huge role by helping me get into a sober living when I exited The Right Step. She didn’t just handle logistics—she gave me a real path forward, and that kind of support is priceless.
The entire medical staff is top-notch—professional, attentive, and always there when you need them. The behavioral tech staff are the backbone of the day-to-day experience, and I especially want to recognize Mr. Kelly, Mr. Doug, Ms. Michelle, and the awesome Ms. Sarah. I wish I could name every single tech because each one played a part in my healing.
The kitchen staff kept us well-fed with quality meals, and even the janitorial staff deserves credit for maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. Every single person here contributes to the healing process.
This place isn’t just a facility—it’s a community. A place where people actually care, where you’re treated with dignity, and where real change happens. I’m forever grateful for every person I met on this journey. If you’re serious about getting better, this is where you want to be.

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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
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.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
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).
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.
Treatments
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.
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.
Programs
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.
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.
Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.
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.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
