Great Oaks Recovery Center’s drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs can set a foundation for sobriety via medically supervised detox and intensive counseling.

The following list covers some of the most popular resources in Southeast Texas, including programs in Egypt, Wharton County, and the Houston area. You can discuss these options with your treatment team to develop an aftercare plan that best fits your needs.
