A full continuum of care — from your first call through ongoing support.
Recovery is a path, not a single program. Every BARC client moves through three phases — detox, then residential inpatient in our gender-separate facilities, then outpatient — without ever switching providers.
Medically Assisted Detox
Every BARC journey starts here. A thorough physical and mental evaluation, 24/7 medical supervision on site, and a detox plan approved and signed by an M.D. on staff.
- Round-the-clock medical monitoring
- Medication-assisted withdrawal management
- Plan customized to substance, age, history
- Direct hand-off into inpatient care
Inpatient Residential Rehab
Men and women are segmented into their own facilities in Dickinson, TX so they can focus on recovery without distractions. 30, 60, or 90 days in a residential setting.
- Men's-only & women's-only houses
- Personalized counseling, individual work
- Group sessions designed to identify causes
- Addictionologist (M.D.) on staff
Outpatient (IOP & SOP)
After residential treatment, outpatient care can provide ongoing support as clients continue building recovery skills and rejoin daily life.
- Clear Lake, Pearland, Pasadena, Woodlands
- Intensive (IOP) and Supportive (SOP) tracks
- Part-time options for working parents
- Aftercare, alumni meetings, relapse prevention

The people who'll actually pick up the phone.
Most of us are in recovery ourselves. We answer the phone because we want to — not because it's a job. Here's who you'll meet.

A warm and loving group of people who really care about the clients. It’s a family I never knew I had. Taught me a new way of life — eternally grateful.
They helped my son get off drugs. He’s almost 2 years clean now and I’m so proud of him. If anyone needs help, go there.
