Many men and women have an addiction to alcohol or another substance. When using, they are at risk of making poor decisions, and if intoxication leads to a disturbance, law enforcement can pick a person up on charges of public intoxication. Our facility is one of the few chronic public inebriation sobering center in Texas serving as an alternative destination to jail.

How our Texas chronic substance abuse sobering center serves the community
The Houston Recovery Center offers a spacious, clean environment staffed by trusted professionals who aid in the sobering process. Not only do we offer this short-term support, but we connect willing clients with community resources to help them get long-term support for their alcohol or drug dependency.
When individuals are delivered to our chronic substance abuse sobering center rather than the local jail, it helps both parties involved.
- Law enforcement: Police are able to devote their resources to more serious criminals while the lower-risk individuals who are picked up on a public inebriation charge are diverted to our facility. This brings efficiency to the booking process for law enforcement, opening up beds and clearing out holding areas at jail facilities.
- The individual: Our Texas chronic public inebriation sobering center is also advantageous for the individual. It keeps formal charges off their record and allows them to get the help they need so they don’t find themselves back in custody of police.
Our chronic public inebriation sobering center has helped many men and women in Texas, and we couldn’t do it without the help of our generous local community.
