Dual Recovery Program – Texas’ Leading Recovery Program for Mental Health and Co-Occurring Addiction

At Starlite Recovery Center, we understand the profound connection between addictions and mental health conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and trauma-related concerns. For this reason, we’ve created our Dual Recovery Program, which is designed to help adults age 18 and older who are struggling with these complex challenges.  

We embrace a holistic approach to recovery by: 

• Nurturing mental well-being: Through therapy sessions and personalized support, we aim to promote emotional healing and self-awareness. When clients gain more insight into themselves, they can develop healthier coping mechanisms and make meaningful changes. 
• Promoting physical health and a balanced lifestyle: Fitness activities like yoga, Pilates, Zumba, and water sports give adults the opportunity to build strength, flexibility, and endurance. Beyond its physical benefits, regular exercise can also help clients manage their stress levels, improve their sleep quality, and boost their self-esteem, contributing to a healthy and balanced lifestyle. 
• Fostering spiritual growth: Through mindfulness practices like meditation and guided imagery, clients can find inner peace and discover a sense of purpose in their recovery journey. 

Typically, adults stay in our Dual Recovery Program anywhere between two weeks and 30 days. This time frame is flexible, as each client progresses at their own pace.  

Our team strongly believes that, by addressing all aspects of wellness — mind, body, and spirit — we can help clients achieve lasting recovery and lead fulfilling lives. 

At our hospital in Texas, we offer a variety of therapies and services in our Dual Recovery Program. Each element is carefully selected to meet our clients’ specific needs. A client’s care plan may include:  

• Individual therapy: Once a week, clients can have individual sessions where they meet one-on-one with their assigned therapist, who gives them focused attention throughout the recovery process.  
• Family therapy: Biweekly, or as needed, adults and their loved ones can take part in family therapy sessions. Our family program therapist and primary therapist guide these sessions, encouraging participants to communicate openly, listen actively, and try to understand the other person’s perspective. Through mutual respect and support, clients and their families can strengthen their relationships. 
• Experiential therapies: In addition to physical and spiritual activities, clients can explore other nontraditional therapies, like art, music, and equine recreation. During these sessions, which are available two to three times per week, adults can connect with themselves, their peers, and animals. 
• Medical services: Clients can also benefit from receiving comprehensive medical support from a team of licensed therapists, psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs), and 24/7 nursing staff. This includes weekly meetings for medication management services and basic medical care.  
• Detoxification services: We offer medical, on-site detoxification services for those who require them. On average, clients stay in detox for three to 10 days. During this time, they meet with our family medicine doctor and an addictionologist, who work together to help clients safely stop using substances.  

Building a sense of community is critical to finding hope and healing, which is why group therapy is at the heart of our Dual Recovery Program. Clients can take part in daily sessions, where they can interact with others who are on a similar journey.  

Our therapists, nurses, and providers lead group therapy sessions, offering essential support and education through: 

• Skills training: Practical tools for managing emotions and achieving personal goals, helping clients navigate daily challenges and maintain their progress 
• Psychoeducational classes and lectures: Informational sessions that cover a range of topics related to addictions and mental health conditions, offering clients valuable insights into themselves and others 
• SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training) Recovery: Effective strategies for recovery and self-improvement, empowering clients to take control of their lives 
• 12-Step recovery model: A structured pathway to long-term success, motivating clients to develop resilience and commit to their journey to wellness 

Additionally, our team may use evidence-based practices during therapy sessions. These can include:  

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): A targeted method designed to help clients understand the link between their thoughts and behaviors, encouraging them to make positive changes 
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): A therapy method that incorporates mindfulness and emotion regulation techniques to assist clients in coping with distress and improving their relationships with others  

Through personalized care, peer support, and expert guidance, we strive to guide each client on their path to recovery and help them build a brighter, healthier future.
