Trinity River Recovery FAQ

We introduce clients to the 12-step philosophy, but our treatment approach is not exclusively based on it. Instead, we focus on evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), individual psychotherapy, trauma-focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

We strongly encourage clients to explore and engage with a peer support network that aligns with their individual needs and preferences, as this can play a key role in sustaining long-term recovery. While 12-step programs are one available option, we recognize that other peer support groups may be a better fit for some individuals. Programs such as SMART Recovery, Celebrate Recovery, and Refuge Recovery are also viable alternatives.

Each client is introduced to local resources for support programs that align with their interests. If a client is unsure which group best suits their needs, we offer information about multiple options, allowing them to explore and select the most comfortable and supportive program.

Clients must have a primary substance use disorder; however, we also specialize in addressing a range of co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance abuse. What sets Trinity River apart from many other residential treatment programs is our ability to accept clients with more complex mental health challenges that may not be appropriately managed at other facilities.

Our comprehensive, 24-hour care is provided by a team of registered nurses, with master’s-level clinicians available on-site seven days a week during business hours. Additionally, a psychiatrist is available around the clock, both on-call 24/7 and on-site multiple times weekly. Thanks to our highly trained staff and a uniquely low staff-to-client ratio, Trinity River can assess and address each patient’s needs, ensuring individualized and effective treatment.

We treat individuals of all genders with nurses and therapists on staff to ensure clients feel comfortable and supported. This allows clients to choose the healthcare professional they feel most comfortable with, providing a more personalized and practical treatment experience.

We offer semi-private rooms with a maximum of two clients per room. Each room has an attached half-bath, providing a comfortable and private space. Clients are provided with personal storage, including a set of drawers, a nightstand, and a bulletin board, allowing them to display photos, artwork, positive affirmations, or other meaningful items.

Sometimes, private rooms may be available, depending on bed availability and extenuating circumstances. Private rooms can also be offered for an additional daily rate, payable out of pocket, as insurance coverage only extends to semi-private accommodations.

However, we highly encourage clients to share a room, as the shared living environment can offer several therapeutic benefits. Having a roommate fosters a sense of safety and community, promotes the development of new relationships, and can help prevent isolation. Sharing a room also allows one to practice essential life skills such as conflict resolution, patience, and effective communication. Additionally, roommates can offer valuable peer support and motivation and reduce feelings of loneliness during the treatment process.
