About Positive Recovery Centers:

Positive Recovery Centers is a strengths-based addiction treatment program with locations across Texas. We offer a full continuum of care, from medical detox to sober living, all supported by an ever-growing alumni community network.

Our evidence-based curriculum blends the best of the old with the new, supporting our mission: that Recovery is best pursued when meaningful, intentional positive habits are formed through empowerment and resilience instead of negativity and shame.

What is Positive Recovery?

Empathy and compassion drive our mission. Positive Recovery uses strengths as a pathway to help others flourish in Recovery at work, and at home; this is our core purpose, our "Why." We creatively apply science to improve outcomes. Positive Recovery is not wishful thinking; it is not a magic pill, nor self-help.

Positive Recovery is an evidence-based addiction curriculum that links the best of the old with the new, integrating existing practical approaches to treatment with interventions that enhance well-being by cultivating its components: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement.
