Houston Recovery Center meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Stated Purpose:

To provide compassionate care to underserved individuals affected by substance use through early intervention and community care coordination to help them achieve lifelong recovery.

Vision:
Universal access to recovery from substance abuse.

Year, State Incorporated:
2012, TX

Houston Recovery Center provide a safe environment that serves an immediate need for individuals under the influence.
As an alternative to jail, and in the future emergency room admissions, the sobering center is an appropriate destination to screen for and manage substance use disorders that present a public safety and health hazard.

 

This service:
1. Relieves law enforcement and criminal justice system resources
Diverting publicly intoxicated individuals increases the holding capacity in the city jail for more serious crimes.
It takes two hours to book an individual in jail and an average of eight minutes to drop them off at the sobering center. This saves law enforcement officers valuable time enabling them to return to their assigned neighborhoods faster.
The courts are relieved of processing this low level, non-violent offense.

2. Creates safety for the individual
Clients avoid an arrest record and are spared the impact that a public intoxication misdemeanor charge would have on their life.
They are monitored in a safe, clean environment with staff providing necessary support services to manage their intoxication until they are no longer a danger to themselves or others.
HRC offerS information on recovery for clients who present with substance use disorders, and they provide opportunities for recovery by linking clients with appropriate community resources and programs.
