Animal Companions for Deeper Emotional Healing

Equine-assisted therapy is offered, allowing clients to spend quality time with horses during sessions led by a trained therapist. This type of hands-on interaction offers emotional grounding, non-verbal connection, and a way to build a unique level of trust. Sparky, the resident therapy dog, helps provide comfort and boosts clients’ spirits. Interacting with animals in a therapeutic way can nurture empathy and help clients to process their emotions in a profound way.

Nearby Outpatient Sober Living with Scholarship Opportunities

For clients who graduate from residential care and are ready for the next steps in their recovery, the center offers outpatient sober living homes located directly across the street. These outpatient clients are able to stay in these homes for six weeks without paying rent. Having these homes so close by allows for continued participation in therapy, groups, and alumni events in a structured, recovery-focused environment. Clients benefit from daily routines, peer accountability, and access to ongoing clinical support.

Dual-Diagnosis Treatment Including Chronic Pain

Along with treating co-occurring mental health conditions, the center offers a dedicated program for clients managing both chronic pain and substance use. Medical pain management is integrated with evidence-based, trauma-focused therapies. Clients work with staff who specialize in pain recovery, helping reduce dependence on opioids while learning sustainable coping strategies. This approach addresses both the physical and emotional factors that often accompany substance use in those living with chronic pain.

Structured, 12-Step-Focused Care

The center offers a structured daily schedule grounded in 12-step principles. Staff members, many of whom are in long-term recovery, guide clients through the program. This treatment approach helps build accountability and foster spiritual growth. The program encourages participation in meetings both onsite and in the community. This focus continues after discharge through the center’s active alumni program, which hosts 12-step-based gatherings and peer-led support groups.

Client Reviews Highlight Compassionate Care

Clients consistently praise the commitment of staff members for going above and beyond. Themes include the spiritual and structured atmosphere, the therapeutic bond with counselors, and the feeling of being genuinely cared for. Some note limitations such as strict phone policies or the spiritual orientation not being a fit for all, but the overwhelming tone reflects gratitude for lasting changes made possible through their time at Kemah Palms.
