Stages of Recovery Inc

Stages of Recovery Inc structures its addiction treatment around two outpatient levels of care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). For people in recovery who are past the acute phase and focused on building sustainable sobriety, outpatient programming offers a way to stay embedded in community — whether that means family, work, school, or peer support networks — while still receiving consistent clinical care.

The IOP level is especially well-suited for those who need a more frequent, structured treatment schedule during a critical window of early or ongoing recovery. With sessions available Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 8:30 PM, clients can arrange attendance around real-world obligations rather than putting their lives on hold. Both program tracks address substance abuse treatment and the underlying conditions that often accompany it.

One of the defining characteristics of Stages of Recovery's approach is its focus on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis. Many people entering a recovery program carry a history of trauma, PTSD, or untreated mental health conditions that are directly connected to their substance use. Treating only the addiction — and leaving those underlying conditions unaddressed — is a common reason people cycle back through treatment. This center is built to work on both simultaneously.

To that end, the clinical team employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR Therapy. CBT helps clients identify and reshape thought patterns that sustain addictive behavior, while EMDR is a trauma-focused method with a well-established record for reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. Together, these therapeutic methods make Stages of Recovery a strong fit for clients whose path to long-term sobriety runs through trauma resolution.

The center's defined populations include veterans, young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, men, women, and court-ordered clients. Each of these groups carries distinct recovery needs, and the breadth of populations served suggests a clinical environment experienced with navigating diverse backgrounds and circumstances. For veterans in particular, the combination of TRICARE acceptance and trauma-informed therapeutic methods — including EMDR — addresses both the financial and clinical realities of military-connected recovery.

Young adults in early recovery often benefit from IOP structures that maintain accountability without removing them from the social environments where long-term sobriety is ultimately practiced. Court-ordered participants, meanwhile, need a program that meets compliance requirements while still delivering genuine therapeutic value. Stages of Recovery's multi-population approach reflects the understanding that recovery communities are stronger when they reflect the full range of people working toward sobriety.

Stages of Recovery accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay — a range that removes some of the most common financial obstacles people face when trying to enter or sustain a recovery program. TRICARE acceptance is a meaningful distinction for veterans and active-duty family members in West Texas and beyond who are looking for outpatient substance abuse treatment covered under their military benefits.

The center's service area extends beyond Lubbock to include Waco, TX, and Oklahoma City, OK. This regional reach means that individuals and families in those communities can connect with Stages of Recovery's outpatient programs without necessarily being limited to what is immediately available in their own city.
