The Right Step Houston Central Houston Texas

Right Step has been providing treatment for individuals with chemical dependency issues for over 20 years. The Houston Central location, established in 1991, was one of the initial facilities opened by Right Step. It offers residential and outpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment for adult men and women. Our approach combines evidence-based modalities with 12-step practices and holistic therapy to offer patients a comprehensive continuum of care. Our compassionate staff and intimate environment create a safe and supportive setting for clients to develop healthy coping skills and learn practical tools for long-term sobriety.

ABOUT THE RIGHT STEP HOUSTON CENTRAL

This facility is part of The Right Step organization, one of the largest networks of rehab centers in the southwest. The Houston Central location opened in 1990 and currently provides residential and outpatient addiction and mental health treatment services, as well as on-site detox services. The nearby Houston Galleria facility offers additional intensive outpatient (IOP) programs and specialized tracks for those who identify as LGBTQ.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Individuals who require detox upon admission, which typically lasts three to five days, have the option to begin therapy sessions from within this initial phase of treatment. Vivitrol, Suboxone, or Campral may be utilized.

Residential programming at the center is gender-specific and incorporates a balanced schedule of traditional, evidence-based, and holistic therapies. Clients can expect individual, group, and family counseling; on-site and off-site 12-step meetings; and educational lectures, spirituality sessions, life skills workshops, and relapse prevention. The center also prides itself on utilizing Positive Recovery, which focuses on empowering the individual, as well as motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

Holistic activities such as yoga, meditation, music, and art therapy, as well as recreational activities such as basketball, softball, and group outings are also incorporated into treatment.

Individuals who need help leading a sober lifestyle but do not have the time to commit to a residential program can enroll in the outpatient program. Outpatient sessions are three hours in the afternoon or evening on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Additionally, weekly aftercare support meetings are provided free of charge for clients who successfully complete residential treatment, as well as a 12-month continuing care plan. A weekly alumni group is also available and sometimes includes recreational outings.

The Right Step Houston Central Reviews

I am a graduate from The Right Step. If it seems impossible for you to stop drinking or using drugs or you have a family member or friend with this dilemma, then this post is for you. The Right Step is a safe and effective treatment center for you or your loved one. It's comprehensive "Positive Recovery" curriculum is second to none. Their staff is caring and non-judgemental. Most, if not all of them are also recovering addicts and alcoholics. Who better to guide you through the beginnings of your recovery? From the moment I arrived, I was given a medical detox to lessen the pain of withdrawals. The food was delicious and plentiful. I had my own room with a comfortable bed. There was also the availability of exercise equipment and a staff member to help you train if you desired. I also attend a weekly alumni meeting here to give the newcomer hope that, along with me, they too can recover and are not alone. I hope that you or your loved one makes the decision to stop this horrible disease in it's tracks and there's no doubt in my mind or soul that there is no better place than The Right Step. Nobody paid me or had to convince me to write this review. I'm doing this out of the love I have for you and the hate I have for this disease.
I am so grateful that The Right Step will always be part of my recovery and sobriety. I'd like to thank the staff for the care, concern and fellowship they provide. You will not feel alone and truly understood at the Right Step.
The Right Step gave me back my life. I learned so much about myself & my addiction. If you attend the sessions, listen, do your assignments & are honest with the counselors your leave with the necessary tools to be successful in your sobriety. I cannot say enough great things about this center!
The counselors were very involved. Counselors were phenomenal and available. Self pay costs were too high.
Based on the outcome the services were 100% effective. They had strong supervision and counseling.
