About Payne County Drug Court
Payne County Drug Court serves as Oklahoma's first drug court, providing outpatient program and intensive outpatient treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders in Stillwater. This recovery center offers court-ordered and voluntary addiction treatment through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual counseling, and group counseling sessions.
Payne County Drug Court stands as Oklahoma's first drug court, operating as an outpatient clinic in Stillwater that bridges the justice system with addiction treatment. Located on West Highpoint Drive, this recovery center provides a unique approach to substance abuse treatment by combining legal accountability with clinical intervention. The facility specializes in serving court-ordered participants while also welcoming voluntary clients seeking addiction treatment in Payne County.
The center offers outpatient program services alongside intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) for individuals managing substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Their clinical team, led by Clinical Director Dane Lemmons and LPC Counselor Michelle Hix, delivers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through both individual counseling and group counseling formats. The program includes drug testing and anger management services, creating a comprehensive framework for ongoing recovery support.
The treatment philosophy centers on practical intervention rather than traditional rehabilitation models. CBT forms the backbone of their therapeutic approach, addressing both substance use patterns and underlying behavioral triggers. Group counseling sessions foster peer connections within the recovery community, while individual sessions allow for personalized attention to each participant's specific challenges and goals.
This recovery center serves diverse populations including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, and individuals with trauma or PTSD histories. The facility accepts Medicaid, state insurance, and self-pay options, operating Monday through Friday with flexible scheduling. Participants benefit from the unique combination of judicial oversight and clinical expertise, making this program particularly effective for those requiring structured accountability in their recovery journey.
Outpatient Programs and Recovery Services
Payne County Drug Court provides both standard outpatient program services and intensive outpatient treatment options for individuals in various stages of their recovery journey. The outpatient program allows participants to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while receiving regular addiction treatment through scheduled counseling sessions and group meetings.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers more frequent contact and structured support for those requiring additional accountability without residential placement. Both programs incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, helping participants identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build sustainable recovery skills within their home community environment.
Court-Ordered and Voluntary Treatment Options
As Oklahoma's pioneering drug court, this facility specializes in serving court-ordered participants while maintaining an open-door policy for voluntary admissions. The court-ordered track provides judicial oversight combined with clinical intervention, creating accountability structures that support long-term recovery outcomes.
Voluntary participants access the same clinical services without legal mandates, benefiting from the program's proven CBT approach and group counseling sessions. Both tracks include regular drug testing, anger management services, and treatment planning planning tailored to each person's specific substance abuse challenges and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Specialized Population Services
The recovery center serves specialized populations including veterans, pregnant women, young adults aged 18-25, and seniors requiring age-appropriate addiction treatment approaches. Veterans receive targeted support addressing service-related trauma and PTSD alongside substance abuse treatment, recognizing the unique challenges faced by military personnel in recovery.
Women's services include specialized support for pregnant participants, while trauma-informed care addresses PTSD and other trauma histories across all populations served. The facility's diverse staff team provides culturally responsive treatment for men and women from various backgrounds, ensuring each participant receives appropriate care within the broader recovery community.
