Memorial Hermann Prevention & Recovery Center
Known around the nation as “The PaRC”, Memorial Hermann Prevention & Recovery Center is a drug and alcohol abuse treatment center located in Houston, Texas. We have a 28 year history of successfully treating drug addicts, alcoholics, and their families by helping them understand and manage the disease of addiction. The PaRC has helped thousands of individuals just like you, and our programs continue to grow every year. Our expertise in the field of alcoholism and drug addiction, and our longevity in the community, has enabled us to constantly refine and customize our treatment strategies. Our intense alcohol and drug rehab programs teach people the necessary tools and valuable skills they need to stop the cycle of addiction in their lives. The staff at The PaRC can teach you how to stop the cycle of addiction in your life, too.
When addiction is left untreated it destroys every area of an addict’s life. Families and homes are torn apart, friendships and other precious relationships disappear, health declines, work life become unstable, and valuable possessions are lost. Death - the most tragic consequence of untreated addiction - is sometimes the final outcome for many addicts.

We know that you are worried that you or your loved one will never be able to stop drinking or using drugs. We know the thought of getting help can be frightening, and finding the best treatment facility can be overwhelming. Don’t let the fear of getting drug abuse treatment or the task of finding a rehab program stop you from getting the treatment you need. Continue to move forward with your desire to manage the addiction in your life. The PaRC has helped thousands of people do the very same thing and we will help you, too.
We are Building Recovery One Life at a Time. It is our focus, it is our commitment.

BUILDING RECOVERY ONE LIFE AT A TIME

This is the slogan of the Memorial Hermann Prevention and Recovery Center (PaRC). This is Houston's most accomplished recovery center specializing in substance abuse treatment, alcohol rehab and drug intervention. This Houston, Texas based recovery center is one of the best detox centers in the country and is known for its groundbreaking and innovative treatment of both adults and adolescents. The PaRC is a premier alcohol and drug treatment facility. The PaRC helps both adults and adolescents deal with chemical dependency is positive way. The PaRC provides many forms of treatment which include detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient throughout the greater Houston area, transitional living, Spanish speaking services, family services, and more.

ADMISSION

Before admission into any of the substance abuse treatment or drug intervention at this recovery center, patients will undergo a full psychological and physical evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation patients will be enrolled into a customized treatment program. Each patient receives a list of required items (Co-payment for prescription medications-cash or credit card, 5 days of casual clothing, personal hygiene items, money for vending machines etc) as well as a list of prohibited items (weapons in any form, cell phones or Blackberrys, alcohol or drugs etc). Because the only secure place for belongings is the hospital safe, patients are discouraged from bringing excessive amounts of money or jewelry onto the premises as the hospital will not accept any responsibility for loss or theft of these items.

YOUNG ADULT PROGRAM

With an increasing number of 18-24 year olds becoming susceptible to substance abuse, the PaRC has created a number of custom programs which may be more effective than those of other detox centers. Alcohol rehab and drug intervention for these individuals takes into account the fact that their psychological emotional and behavioral and cognitive abilities have been influenced in some way. The program involves areas such as life skills classes, spirituality groups and specialized therapy groups to aid the patient in making a full recovery.

This recovery center understands that families are a huge part of the healing process for patients. The PaRC ensures that parents and family members are actively involved in the program - offering both reassurance and healing to both parties. We believe that chemical dependency is a family disease and we are here to help.

ADOLESCENT PROGRAM

The Memorial Hermann Prevention and Recovery Center (PaRC) Adolescent Program provides comprehensive alcohol and drug treatment for adolescents ages 13 to 17 suffering with primary substance abuse dependency as well as those struggling with co-occurring psychiatric disorders. The basic goals of the treatment program are to help the patient and family establish recovery and learn the skills to live effectively as the teen establishes abstinence-based sobriety. Trained to understand the unique development issues of adolescents such as peer pressure and self esteem, our highly qualified administrative and clinical staff is committed to providing treatment services to teenaged patients for detoxification, residential treatment, day treatment, intensive outpatient, family programming, educational curriculum, relapse prevention, aftercare, and much more.

A REHAB HOME AWAY FROM HOME

During your stay at the recovery center the staff tries their best to make your time in alcohol rehab and drug treatment as comfortable as possible. Patients will sleep in rooms with a roommate to ensure that no feelings of being alone arise. To ensure that patients are receiving the right nutrients, three balanced meals a day are provided. Family and friends are allowed to visit during designated visiting hours so that patients do not feel as though they are being ostracized. And finally, because relaxation is a key part of the recovery process, recreational facilities are provided as well. We believe that everyone deserves a new beginning and that recovery from drugs and alcohol is possible through a 12 step approach.
