Reviewers frequently praised the compassionate and supportive staff, many of whom are in recovery themselves, and the effective 12-step based program. The facility's small size, quality food, and comfortable environment were also highlighted as significant strengths. However, some reviewers criticized the high cost, perceived understaffing, and a lack of individual counseling and family involvement in the treatment process.

Once stabilized, clients transition to residential treatment, the duration of which is between <strong>30 and 90 days</strong>. According to a <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX17.pdf" target="_blank">2017 SAMHSA survey</a>, 21.8 percent of non-hospital treatment facilities in Texas offer a long-term (30+ days) residential program.</p> <p>During residential treatment, clients follow an individualized treatment plan that includes <strong>one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and family therapy</strong>.
