Seeking help for addiction is a brave and important step toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed or uncertain, but remember, you’re not alone. Support is available every step of the way. At Great Oaks Recovery Center outside of Houston, we believe that dual diagnosis and addiction treatment is about more than just stopping a habit or pushing through pain—it’s about understanding yourself, healing from past struggles, and building a future you can feel hopeful about. Here’s how we can help.
Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Care
Many people struggle with addiction because they also have a mental or emotional health disorder. Using drugs or alcohol to cope with trauma, complicated grief, or mismanaged mood and behavioral symptoms creates a tragic loop. Then, due to a lack of quality treatment, everything gets worse.
Our board-certified professionals make it our mission to improve the lives we touch. This starts with a thorough diagnosis to uncover contributing factors to addiction such as co-occurring conditions, mood disorders, adverse childhood experiences, and other health issues. About half of all people with a diagnosable mental illness will also struggle with a substance use disorder and vice versa, but not all.
Therefore, a dedicated dual-diagnosis treatment center near Houston like Great Oaks is crucial for the proper diagnosis, care, and treatment of those who struggle with both. Although initial inpatient treatment is generally longer—usually about 60–90 days—our treatment professionals have the right certifications and credentials to treat both mental health and substance use disorders properly.
For many people who trust their care to our experienced team, receiving a dual diagnosis is a critical first step to discovering how to heal from the past and create a promising new future.
Extensive Addiction Treatment in Texas
We understand what a monumental decision it is to seek help for substance use disorder (SUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Equally as intimidating is the reality of an entire life change. At Great Oaks, our staff respects every step a person must take on this journey and is committed to walking alongside you or your loved one through the fears, concerns, and expectations that accompany the recovery process.
- We offer a specialized medically supervised detoxification program for individuals struggling for chemical-free balance or to address acute health issues. Not everyone with SUD or AUD requires detox, but in many cases, it’s a vital component of your initial phase of recovery.
- Our partial hospitalization program—effective for AUD, SUD, and mental and emotional health disorders—focuses on an individual’s overall treatment and is intended to avert or reduce inpatient hospitalization. It usually lasts 7–10 days, but your addiction specialist will work with you to decide what’s best.
- In our residential treatment program, many people stay 30, 60, or 90 days. If necessary, a long-term residential option is available, too. This approach encompasses numerous components, including detox, multiple therapeutic approaches, extensive education on addiction, mental and emotional health, family-focused healing, wellness programming, continuing care, relapse prevention planning, and much more.
- We also have the unique Ready-to-Work program, which assures that you can care for your health and maintain job security.
- Additionally, we provide essential culturally competent addiction treatment for Veterans and first responders through Tactical Recovery, a joint effort with the Department of Veterans Affairs Community Care Network and PsychArmor. This individualized care uses evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed environment proven to promote recovery among Veterans.
Trust that no matter which program you need, you’ll receive care from medical doctors, licensed and certified counselors, licensed social workers, and a broad range of nurses and nursing assistants.
