Evaluation
The first step in accessing treatment and recovery is an assessment by a licensed professional.
Substance use disorders are medical conditions that affect brain function and behavior, similar to other diseases. They cause a dependence on substances like drugs, alcohol, or medications, leading individuals to continue using them even when it causes harm. Because each substance affects people differently, there is no one-size-fits-all way to predict who may develop an addiction.
Clinicians perform assessments for several important reasons. Primarily, they determine whether someone meets the criteria for a substance use disorder and assess its severity. Additionally, assessments help identify any co-occurring mental health conditions, other substances being used, and the impact of substance use on daily life. All information gathered during the evaluation is kept confidential and used to create a tailored treatment plan to support the individual's recovery.
Group Counseling
Group counseling is a core component of outpatient treatment and can serve as an effective primary level of care for individuals with mild to moderate substance use disorders, as well as a step up from individual-only services or a step down following higher levels of care. Group services support a seamless continuum of care by providing structure, peer support, accountability, and skill development within a clinically guided setting.
Our group counseling services are designed to be flexible and responsive to individual treatment needs. Clients may participate in regularly scheduled group sessions that focus on recovery education, relapse prevention, coping skills, and peer support, with treatment intensity adjusted based on clinical recommendation. Groups are offered in both in-person and virtual formats to accommodate varying schedules and accessibility needs, ensuring consistent engagement and continuity of care.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is a core service at our agency designed to support individuals experiencing substance use disorders and related challenges. In a confidential, one-on-one setting, clients work with a licensed professional to address the underlying factors contributing to substance use, including stress, trauma, mental health concerns, and behavioral patterns.
Counseling helps clients build practical coping skills, improve decision-making, and reduce the risk of relapse while supporting accountability and stability. When applicable, services can also support court, probation, or employer requirements.
Each client receives an individualized treatment plan based on a comprehensive assessment. This personalized approach ensures care is appropriate, effective, and responsive to progress and changing needs—supporting meaningful, long-term recovery outcomes.
Family Counseling
Substance use disorders affect not only the individual, but the entire family system. For this reason, our agency incorporates family counseling as a key component of a client’s treatment program whenever appropriate. Family sessions provide a structured, therapeutic space for loved ones to better understand addiction, its impact on relationships, and the recovery process.
Through family counseling, clients and their families work with a licensed professional to address communication breakdowns, rebuild trust, establish healthy boundaries, and reduce enabling or codependent patterns. These sessions help families move from crisis response to informed support, creating a stronger foundation for recovery at home.
Family involvement enhances individual treatment by reinforcing coping skills, improving accountability, and increasing long-term recovery success. When integrated into an individualized treatment plan, family sessions promote healing for the entire household—not just the client—resulting in improved stability, stronger relationships, and more sustainable recovery outcomes.
DWI Evaluation
& Referral
Texas Alcohol & Drug Counseling provides professional DWI substance use assessments and referral services for individuals involved in alcohol- or drug-related driving offenses. Our licensed clinicians conduct comprehensive evaluations to help courts, attorneys, and probation departments determine whether substance use education, intervention, or treatment services are appropriate.
Each DWI assessment includes a structured clinical interview, review of substance use history, screening for alcohol and drug misuse, and application of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Standardized screening tools may be used to evaluate risk level and identify potential substance use disorders. The evaluation process also considers legal history, psychosocial factors, and overall risk for future impaired driving.
Following the assessment, a written report is prepared outlining clinical findings and professional recommendations. Depending on the results, individuals may be referred to appropriate services such as DWI education programs, intervention classes, outpatient counseling, or substance use treatment programs. When needed, our clinicians also coordinate referrals to approved community providers and support services.
Our goal is to provide objective, evidence-based evaluations that support informed court decisions while helping individuals access the appropriate level of care to reduce future risk and promote long-term recovery.
Texas Alcohol & Drug Counseling is committed to providing confidential, professional, and timely assessments for individuals, attorneys, and court systems throughout North Texas.
