What Is Grace Recovery TX?

How Can Becoming a Member Support Me?

Historically, SUD has been viewed as an individual’s problem to be dealt with alone. However, as we know, modern research supports the knowledge that recovery is not a solo mission. In fact, the most success is seen when you have the guidance and support of people who care about you and your well-being. With social and professional support teams, you can start building something meaningful in lifelong recovery. At Grace Recovery TX, we provide individualistic care and support with an individual case manager and experiential recovery coach for each client.

Through case management, you will work one-on-one with your case manager to set six to eight long-term goals designed to support you in developing basic life skills to help you achieve the things you thought may have been impossible for you to ever reach. As noted in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series, No. 27, case management is driven by the needs of the client. Your case manager advocates for you and your needs with multiple service providers and is committed to helping you discover and build goals that fit what you want for your life in long-term recovery. 

Furthermore, your experiential recovery coach works with you to set four fun short-term goals designed to support you in finding joy in your life in recovery. Working with an experiential recovery coach can show you all the ways you can still find joy and purpose in your life without substance use.

Short-Term and Long-Term Goals

Some goals you may pursue include:

  • Seek higher education
  • Build a resumé 
  • Job search
