What Sets The Meadows Texas Apart?

As part of the Meadows Behavioral Healthcare family, we offer comprehensive trauma-informed treatment based on the time-tested Meadows Model. Each team member brings a diverse range of expertise to our programs. All of our clinical staff are also trained in Post-Induction Therapy (PIT) and have received intensive experiential training. The Meadows Texas is accredited by the Joint Commission, considered “the gold standard” in accreditation for behavioral health facilities and organizations.

The Meadows Model

The Meadows Model is at the core of all Meadows Behavioral Healthcare treatment programs, including The Meadows Texas. It is based on the pioneering work of Meadows Senior Fellow Pia Mellody, one of the preeminent authorities in the fields of addiction and relationships, and her Developmental Model of Immaturity. We use these innovative therapeutic techniques to identify and treat the underlying trauma of addictive and dysfunctional processes.

“Addiction is a potentially fatal illness — but it is also eminently recoverable.” – Dr. Kevin McCauley

Meadows Senior Fellow Dr. Kevin McCauley is also impacting treatment at The Meadows Texas, interacting regularly with staff and family members to share his expertise and personal recovery experience. A former flight surgeon in the US Navy, he wrote and directed two films: Memo to Self (about the concepts of recovery management), and Pleasure Unwoven (about the neuroscience of addiction), taking home the 2010 Michael Q. Ford Award for Journalism from the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers.

Incorporating 12-Step Principles

Our approach to the 12 Steps focuses on the philosophy of universality, the theory that no one is alone in the world. As patients are guided and supported by the staff, they can let go of shame and guilt – underlying factors behind all addictive behaviors. During meetings, patients are encouraged to share their thoughts, allowing them to feel heard and speak their minds. As patients release their emotions in the safe environment fostered by the group, they can process their thoughts and experiences. Patients can then realize their mistakes and recognize the situations that led them to addiction.

When patients leave The Meadows Texas, we direct them to local 12-Step meetings and encourage them to continue the journey they began in treatment. Finding a home group, obtaining a sponsor, and completing personal work is a great way to help prevent relapse, teach better self-control, and reinforce lasting healing.
