About The Right Step Houston

Located in Houston, Texas, The Right Step is a drug and alcohol rehab offering a full continuum of care to adults. Programs include detox, dual-diagnosis treatment, inpatient addiction treatment, outpatient treatment, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and aftercare services. Treatment at the The Right Step begins with a comprehensive mental health assessment for symptoms of substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions.

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.

This was my first time at the right step and it was a genuinely great experience. My counselor was amazing and made sure I had everything lined up for my discharge and also was completely 100% caring to me the entire time I was there. The staff genuinely cares about the clients and isn t just there for a paycheck. I met wonderful people along the way and Id recommend The Right Step to friends and family.

I am the right step alumni and I have to say they truly change my life. I normally don't do reviews it's been over a year now and I still find myself reflecting all the things I learned there in tough times. If you're looking for help don't hesitate to call these folks. Preston what's my counselor in all I can say is be ready for him cuz he's going to pull it out of you. The whole staff is amazing really I give them all A+ and a nod. Thank y'all.

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.

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 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.
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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 icon12-Step
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).
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.

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-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.

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.

The Right Step has been so incredibly helpful in my healing process. I have a few shout outs for the people who have been MONUMENTAL in my recovery journey, like Jessica, Jeff, Clay, Jaz, Brooke, Andrea and Kasey. Honestly, the BHT’s are the real stars of the show. The staff members I listed went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The food was amazing too. I rated it 3/5 only because of the outdated or photo shopped pictures of the facility. It’s decently clean but the floors, showers, walls and AC units are pretty gross.

After visiting several treatment centers, The Right Step stood out because of one person—Brooke Wright. Her passion for helping others is undeniable, and her support was a critical part of my recovery process. Brooke didn’t just advocate for my treatment, she helped me believe in myself again. She answered every question, offered reassurance, and was always just a call or message away. If you’re seeking recovery and want someone who will fight for your success, ask for Brooke Wright. She’s a true difference-maker.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you immensely for sharing your heartfelt experience! We're delighted to hear that Brooke made such a meaningful impact on your journey. Her dedication and support truly define our mission. We’re here cheering you on every step of the way!

The Right Step has been a life-changing experience for me, and a huge part of that is thanks to Brooke Wright. She goes above and beyond for every individual who walks through those doors. Brooke isn’t just a Behavioral Health Advocate—she’s a true source of strength and compassion. She listened without judgment, guided me through every step of the process, and made sure I always felt supported. Her empathy and dedication made all the difference in my recovery journey. Thank you, Brooke, for being a light during one of the darkest times in my life.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
We're so grateful for your heartwarming feedback! It's wonderful to know that Brooke could be such a supportive guide for you. Her compassion and dedication are what we strive for. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey.
