One program, joined from anywhere in Texas
Stages of Recovery publishes an online intensive outpatient program for Texas residents. Whether you're in a big metro, a Hill Country town, East Texas, the Gulf Coast, the border or West Texas, you join the same way: by secure video and through the Stages mobile app. Stages' in-person Texas offices are only in Lubbock and Robinson (Waco area). Nothing on this site suggests an office in any other city.
What's included
According to the Stages telehealth page, treatment plans are individualized and include group, individual, education and family sessions. Stages also lists Sobriety Basics, a weekly early-sobriety support group, and Family Matters, for loved ones.
