Positive Recovery Center San Marcos

Positive Recovery Centers provides comprehensive, personally tailored treatment for adults with addiction and co-occurring disorders throughout several locations in the greater Houston, Hill Country, and Dallas/Fort Worth areas. Their San Marcos location offers a range of outpatient services with a partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), supportive outpatient program (SOP), as well as intensive outpatient virtual therapy services.

Their continuum of care is designed to gradually increase personal responsibility while steadily decreasing the need for intensive and structured care while offering ongoing support to clients and their families.

Comprehensive Outpatient Care

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) at Positive Recovery offers their highest level of outpatient structure and accountability. PHP often bridges the gap when transitioning from residential to outpatient care, providing clients with a more intensive treatment program while allowing the flexibility to live at home or in a sober living setting. Their PHP program is an ideal fit for individuals who are stepping down from residential treatment, or for those seeking sobriety who do not require 24/7 monitoring and stabilization.

Clients in PHP attend a minimum of 20 hours of structured treatment per week in addition to meeting weekly with a physician who may provide medication management services when necessary. The programming at Positive Recovery is deeply immersed in the scientifically proven ‘positive recovery’ curriculum blended with other evidence-based methods. In addition, recreational and experiential activities such as music and art appreciation may be offered to encourage self-discovery and emotional release and growth.

While similar to PHP, their IOP is best suited for individuals who are ready to return to work, school, or other responsibilities. IOP fully engages clients in treatment while offering flexibility with day time, evening, and virtual options. Clients typically attend 9-12 hours of treatment 3-4 days per week over 8 weeks in total with a focus on topics such as developing coping and life skills, managing symptoms, relapse prevention, and developing an outside support system.

Supportive outpatient programming (SOP) provides individual counseling on an outpatient basis while navigating early recovery, often after completion of PHP or IOP. Clients can continue their recovery journeys in a safe, supportive, and structured environment that reinforces positive behaviors and promotes further healing and growth.

Family Involvement and Aftercare

Positive Recovery’s robust treatment incorporates family involvement and supportive aftercare services. Family workshops address the needs of all family members, encouraging positive behavioral changes and open, honest communication. Clients and family members attend educational lectures, group therapy, and experiential activities that foster understanding and growth.

Clients enrolled in aftercare services participate in weekly group support meetings led by licensed counselors. Aftercare support can reduce risk of relapse, reinforce coping strategies, improve social skills and communication, and encourage healthy lifestyle choices. Depending on individual needs, aftercare may last several weeks, months, or years, and may also incorporate community recovery groups such as 12-step recovery. Positive Recovery also offers monthly progress reports to employers or licensing boards when required.
