Santé Center for Healing offers compassionate, high-quality addiction treatment and long-term recovery extending beyond our beautiful 16-acre campus and back into your community. Our licensed addiction experts deliver evidence-based medical and clinical care to help clients break the cycle of addiction and move toward the hope, health, healing, and unmatched possibilities found in recovery.
For three decades, we’ve been a trusted part of the Dallas-Fort Worth community. We’ve slowly and intentionally evolved our continuum of care to meet the needs of the people we help. The result? A long-term, clinical recovery continuum of care spanning acute medical and clinical needs of addiction detox services and addiction treatment services to life-long alumni support.
“We have an infectious culture of serving others, and we balance that with putting the importance on family and self-care.”

We don’t treat diagnoses—we treat people. Many of our clients have complex needs that are minimized, overlooked, or misunderstood before their time at Santé. Here, behavioral and addiction issues are treated at the same time. By providing integrated treatment, we help our clients understand that recovery means more than just getting sober or managing compulsive behaviors. It means healing every part of their lives to support their journey forward.
Every client who comes to Santé Center for Healing gets an individualized treatment plan. Client needs, experiences, medical and substance use histories, and even goals for the future all come together to create a tailored experience. When you or a loved one starts, our psychiatrists, nurses, and psychologists will all work with you to make a plan that’s meaningful for long-term recovery.
Healing Is More Than Sobriety
“Miracles happen on the hill” (a phrase coined by our alumni more than 30 years ago) does not happen by coincidence. We show up for our community because we are truly dedicated to helping people find new ways forward. Throughout the treatment experience, clients find opportunities for wellness and recreation, attend group therapy and build new connections, and reconcile with family and friends affected by addiction.

Substance Abuse Quiz
“What you guys have done for me, is show me that I have everything in me to do this. That I can be the person I’ve always wanted to be. And that I will mess up along the way, but I am loved regardless. I might not always get that, but I’ve seen my growth. I see the work I’ve done. I couldn’t have done it without the love, support, and occasional ass kicking. I love all of you with all of my heart. I will miss seeing all of you every day. It truly brings my heart so much joy. There is so much more I could say, I am so grateful to all of you. I will see you all soon! My appreciation to you is endless.”

What to Expect in Our Addiction Treatment Programs in Argyle, Texas
Addiction is a disease, and like any disease, it requires treatment. For many people, treatment begins with detox and continues through outpatient treatment. At Santé, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
Detox
Most of our clients start treatment with our detox services. Detox typically lasts 4 to 10 days, depending on variables like the client’s addiction history and substance use.
Detox is essential to treatment because it gives people time, space, and support as drugs and alcohol can completely leave their bodies. Without medical assistance and oversight, withdrawal symptoms are unpleasant and could even be life-threatening. Santé’s compassionate professionals provide medical care during detox to reduce withdrawal symptoms and keep clients on track to recovery.
“It gave me a new perspective to what is important in life. It allowed me to ‘disconnect’ from the chaos I was in or had created and to work on my recovery without distractions.” – Alumni Lisa
Residential Program
Following detox, most clients transition to the residential program. This is where a lot of the deeper work happens. In our residential program, your individualized treatment plan might include:
- Dual diagnosis support
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Addiction education
- Learning about accountability
- 12-step introduction
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Neurofeedback
- Shame resiliency
- Experiential therapies
Santé’s expert staff and intimate environment create the perfect space for these services to be effective.
“Santé’s IOP program provided a safe place for me to go after inpatient. After putting so much effort into recovery during inpatient, it would have hurt me immensely to skip out on IOP and risk a relapse. Even though I wanted to put the past behind me and continue on living my life as I was before I got sober, I knew this was impossible. Going to IOP provided me the best opportunity possible to achieve long-term sobriety.” – Alumni Marni
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
After the residential phase of treatment, clients typically begin an intensive outpatient program, or IOP, lasting about four months and comprised of three weekly group sessions, individual therapy, and customized therapeutic assignments.
