Outpatient Rehab for Drug & Alcohol Addiction Near Dallas, Texas

If you are trying to decide whether to start with an outpatient level of addiction treatment, call and a caring admissions navigator can help.

Outpatient addiction treatment can be a beneficial starting place for many people. However, it may not offer adequate support in certain cases. If you are actively using opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, or sedatives, inpatient care is more appropriate.

During inpatient addiction treatment, you receive 24/7 medical supervision and compassionate withdrawal management. After detox, your care team can work with you to determine if residential treatment or an outpatient rehab program would be the best next step for your individual needs.

Outpatient addiction treatment programs may be recommended for individuals who have already completed a medical detox and/or residential treatment. Outpatient rehab may also be a good fit for those who have a less severe addiction and require less intensive programming.

Outpatient programs may also be an option for those who have struggled with their use of the following substances:

• Hallucinogens (cannabis, salvia, LSD, etc.)
• Stimulants (cocaine, meth, amphetamines, etc.)
• Inhalants (whippets, solvents, nitrous oxide, etc.)

Initial admission to an outpatient level of rehab may not be recommended for people using certain substances. The reason is that when a person detoxes from these substances, it can pose several medical risks.

While an inpatient program can offer 24/7 medical care and oversight, an outpatient program does not. To ensure a person’s safety, anyone suffering from active addiction to alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines or sedatives, or a combination of these substances, will typically not be referred to an outpatient addiction treatment program.

Sometimes, upon admission and medical assessment at Greenhouse Outpatient, the client meets clinical guidelines for conditions requiring additional medical monitoring. In these cases, we will coordinate necessary medical care, psychiatric sessions, medication management, or monitoring of an ongoing health issue (e.g. hypertension or diabetes).

The client’s primary therapist will coordinate with our multidisciplinary treatment team on the integration of these appointments into the client’s individualized treatment plan.

Yes. Greenhouse outpatient clients will have access to therapy in multiple formats.

• Individual Therapy: As part of our addiction treatment programs, individual therapy, sometimes called “one-on-one” therapy, is a component of each patient’s treatment plan. Upon arrival at our facility, the client is assigned a primary therapist who will provide individual therapy sessions during the treatment stay. During the sessions, topics will include the client’s specific addiction history, coping skills to address any mental health issues (anxiety, depression, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, and others) and the addiction, aftercare planning, and other needs as determined by the client and multidisciplinary treatment team.
• Group Therapy: Much of the addiction therapy for our programs is facilitated using the peer group setting. During groups, the patient has the opportunity to explore issues and process his/her recovery in a safe, peer-supported atmosphere. These peer relationships are helpful in the recovery process because they reduce the sense of isolation and allow the client to see how others deal with similar problems. Different types of addiction therapy groups for the client include: Process groups, targeted addiction-themed group discussions, and recovery skills building.
• Family Therapy: Since everyone close to the client is touched by the addiction, Greenhouse Outpatient encourages family involvement (e.g. spouses, partners, children, and loved ones) as a component of each client’s treatment plan. Encouragement from family/loved ones is beneficial and positively impacts recovery. With the client’s consent, if family members (and others essential in the recovery process) agree to participate, family therapy sessions will be held periodically throughout treatment. Family therapy sessions may be held in-person, virtually, or via conference call, and the frequency will be determined according to the client’s individualized treatment plan.

During psychoeducational groups at Greenhouse, clients learn about substance use disorder and recovery strategies. Topics covered during psychoeducational groups may include:

• Co-occurring disorders.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy.
• Dialectical behavior therapy.
• Anger management.
• Honesty in recovery.
• Relapse prevention.
• Mindfulness.

Process groups allow clients to work with a therapist to explore stressors or current problems that need to be addressed. These groups help clients separate themselves from their internal thoughts so they can gain fresh perspectives and find solutions.

Yes. We incorporate 12-Step program work into our outpatient addiction treatment programs. By facilitating community recovery-based groups, clients at Greenhouse develop a strong peer support community to help one another achieve and sustain sobriety.

Yes. Greenhouse offers certain medications for addiction treatment. Medications may be prescribed by your outpatient treatment provider depending on your individual recovery plan.

Yes. For individuals in need of additional support alongside a structured outpatient program, Greenhouse also offers a sober living community called Resolutions. Many people find residing in a substance-free living community with others in recovery helps their own continued recovery.
