Meadows Texas

Trauma-Informed Treatment That Goes Deeper Than Symptoms

Meadows Texas provides withdrawal management (detox) and residential treatment for adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions, including trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. As part of Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, the program follows the trauma-informed Meadows Model, helping clients understand how past experiences can shape current patterns and build practical coping skills that support long-term stability.

Brain Center Support for Regulation, Sleep, and Focus

A signature offering is the on-site Brain Center, where clients use neurofeedback and other neurobehavioral tools aimed at helping the nervous system self-regulate. This focus on brain and body regulation supports treatment engagement during early recovery, especially for people navigating withdrawal, stress, and trauma-related symptoms alongside substance use recovery.

A Phone-Free, Nature-Surrounded Campus Near Dallas

Located in the Texas countryside within driving distance of Dallas, the campus is intentionally phone-free to reduce distractions and help clients stay present in treatment. The setting includes access to nature and outdoor space, walking paths and a labyrinth, a pond, a pool, and fitness facilities, giving clients structured ways to move, reset, and practice healthy routines between clinical sessions.

Gender-Specific Groups, Family Program, and Real-World Transition

All therapy groups are gender-specific, creating space for honest discussion and peer connection. The program also incorporates 12-step principles and meetings, and offers a four-day Family Program that brings loved ones into guided education and sessions focused on communication and boundaries. Treatment commonly lasts around 45 days, with early discharge planning, case management, and an optional transition week that uses guided community outings to practice coping skills in real-world settings before returning home.
