Kemah Palms Recovery

Just south of Houston in Kemah, Texas, Kemah Palms Recovery gives clients a safe, welcoming place to begin healing from alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, stimulant, and prescription drug addiction. A dedicated chronic pain program treats pain and addiction together, and care spans medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient programs, plus separate outpatient tracks for teens.

Address the Patterns that Drive Addiction

Therapy gives clients practical tools for handling relapse triggers, intense emotions, and the thought patterns that fuel substance use. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) builds skills for managing distress, while cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change negative thinking. Art, music, and sound therapy add outlets for processing emotions and easing stress, and a physician, psychiatrist, and primary counselor shape the plan around each person’s goals.

Settle into Home-Like Comfort

Comfortable semi-private bedrooms and spacious living areas give clients a home-like atmosphere. Between sessions, clients can swim in the pool, wander the gardens, or sit by the pond, and group therapy moves outdoors to the seating areas when weather permits. Clients can also visit the horses at the on-site stables, where equine therapy takes place, and spend time with the resident pup, Sparky.

Carry Recovery beyond Treatment

Clients step down through PHP, IOP, and outpatient care as their needs change, with life skills and relapse prevention built into aftercare. Staff connect clients with local 12-Step communities, outpatient referrals, and sober living resources, and an alumni fellowship keeps graduates in touch with their peers. The goal is a strong recovery network already in place when treatment ends.
