At Bay Area Recovery Center (BARC), we provide a freestanding, medically based residential detoxification program in Houston. Our environment is a supportive, inviting community in a non-institutionalized setting. Selection of appropriate detoxification medications and complete confidentiality are vital program components that create a safe, humane withdrawal process.
Treatment activities include:
- Medical history and physical exam
- Full psychiatric evaluation
- Stabilization planning
- Regimented medication programs
- Vitals monitoring for symptom reduction during detox
- Preparation for follow-up treatment and ongoing recovery
BARC's Houston detox service is overseen by our staff physician. Our goal is to help clients through the withdrawal process as comfortably and as safely as possible. We support the client while he or she experiences any difficulties and symptoms.
Though detoxification from drugs and alcohol may be difficult and sometimes stressful, it is critical to begin this process immediately. It is conducted in a safe, therapeutic environment where the client’s well-being is assured. During detox in our Houston facilities, we help the individual feel connected and safe, and we transition them into the next phase of treatment.

Maybe it was that mistaken sense of being golden that led me to believe that recreational drug use would work for me. For many years, using and drinking was just an occasional retreat from the monotony of the day. But that all changed. I became less effective in every aspect of my existence. As a mental health professional, no one around me would have guessed that my drug use was getting out of control."
