Bay Area Recovery Center

Faith-Based Men’s Residential Treatment

Bay Area Recovery Center in Dickinson, Texas, offers faith-based, men’s-only inpatient treatment that integrates spiritual growth with evidence-based care. Established in 1992, the program combines 12-step facilitation and Christian principles to promote honesty, purpose, and connection. Many counselors are in recovery themselves, providing lived-experience mentorship that helps clients build trust and motivation through every phase of treatment.

Personalized Detox and Recovery Services

Treatment begins with medically assisted detox designed to ease withdrawal safely before transitioning to structured residential care. Program lengths range from 30 to 180 days, tailored to each client’s progress. The facility uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, trauma-informed counseling, and family therapy. Education on health, relationships, and relapse prevention supports lasting personal change.

A Calm, Supportive Setting

Located just south of Houston, the Dickinson campus provides a quiet setting for reflection and healing. Landscaped gardens, outdoor lounges, and shared living areas create a home-like environment that encourages focus and recovery. Air-conditioned rooms, indoor relaxation areas, and access to nature contribute to a restorative experience. Transportation assistance is available for those coming from nearby areas.

Lifelong Recovery and Community Support

Bay Area Recovery Center emphasizes long-term success through discharge planning and alumni aftercare that continues well beyond residential treatment. Clients remain connected through ongoing meetings and community-based recovery events. As part of a local network of five Bay Area Recovery Center facilities, the Dickinson location offers continuity of care and a strong recovery community grounded in faith and mutual accountability.
