Medical Wellness Center
Located in Dallas, Texas, Nexus Recovery Center provides residential treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, as well as co-occurring mental health disorders. They allow clients to bring cigarettes onsite. Nexus’ program begins with 5 to 7 days of medical detox, and then clients stay as long as needed. Nexus’ program uses evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which uses naloxone (Narcan). Clients can call family members using a Nexus-owned cell phone. Clients participate in individual and group discussions, and Nexus finds groups based on similar experiences, such as which clients have kids and which clients have experienced similar traumatic life events. When clients finish residential treatment and have stable housing, Nexus Recovery Center prepares their discharge plan, which can include intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment at Nexus.
To facilitate recovery, the campus contains a serenity garden and the staff organize kid-friendly adventure outings to places like the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Arboretum, White Rock Lake, indoor skydiving, and coffeeshop visits. Nexus is currently renovating its campus.
