ABOUT ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE COUNCIL FOR THE CONCHO VALLEY
The Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council for the Concho Valley (ADACCV) is a nonprofit organization founded more than 50 years ago, which provides residential and outpatient care for individuals struggling with problematic substance use in central Texas, at several facilities located around the region.
Programming is available only to residents of Texas. The target population includes homeless and indigent individuals living in the 13 counties covered by the organization.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Residents stay an average of 45 days in residential care. ADACCV does not provide extensive details about its program specifics, though the center does host 12-step meetings, indicating that these inform the center’s ethos.
Residential care for women aged 18+ is provided at Sara’s House; pregnant women and women with children are also welcome at this facility, and children up to the age of 5 1/2 may reside with their mothers. There’s dedicated programming for these children while their mothers attend treatment.
The Williams House provides treatment for adult males aged 18+. Treatment includes individual and group counseling, relapse prevention training, goal setting, and help finding housing upon completion of the program.
An outpatient program lasts up to six months, and likewise focuses on relapse prevention alongside individual and group counseling. Groups are offered three evenings a week, and individual counseling is flexible to fit around a variety of schedules.
The center also hosts regular recovery meetings, such as alumni groups and 12-step meetings.

I can’t thank the staff and ADACC enough,” J.S. wrote in a representative review on Facebook. Though reviews yielded a handful of one-star ratings, only one negative reviewer left any accompanying commentary. “They treat you like your a child,” J.J. wrote on Google, also comparing the Williams House facility to a jail.

ADACCV also had a three-star, a four-star, and a five-star rating on employment review sites Indeed.com and Glassdoor at the time of this writing.

You really have to have a heart for teaching and for the community,” another reviewer wrote on Glassdoor.
