Residential addiction treatment at Santé Center for Healing gives clients a structured, live-in environment where they can step away from daily triggers and focus on recovery. Sometimes, residential treatment is called “inpatient rehab” or “inpatient addiction treatment.” At Santé, residential treatment is the primary clinical level of care for clients who need 24/7 support.
If substance use is affecting your health, safety, relationships, work, or ability to function, confidential help is available.
What is residential treatment?
Residential treatment is live-in addiction treatment that gives clients structured support, therapy, and recovery programming while they stay on-site. It’s a form of inpatient rehab, which means that people don’t return home while treatment is ongoing.
Residential addiction treatment is designed for clients who need more support than outpatient care can provide.

Who needs residential addiction treatment?
Residential or inpatient rehab may be right for someone who needs space, structure, and clinical support to focus on recovery. Addiction doesn’t discriminate. It can affect licensed professionals, parents, college students, people seeking treatment after a serious incident, or anyone who has come to rely on drugs or alcohol to cope with life.
You or someone you love may find residential treatment to be the right level of support if they:
- Have tried to stop using substances but keep returning to use
- Need support after detox
- Feel unable to stay sober around daily triggers
- Experience relationship, work, legal, health, or safety consequences
- Have co-occurring mental health concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, or unresolved pain
- Need a structured treatment setting before stepping down to outpatient care
- Want a safe place to focus on recovery without outside distractions
You don’t have to wait until things get worse. If substance use is affecting your life, Santé’s Master’s-level admissions counselors can help you understand whether residential addiction treatment is the right next step.
Why choose Santé for residential treatment in Texas?
Choosing a residential treatment center is a personal decision. You or your loved one will live at the treatment center for at least 30 days during rehab, so it’s important to find somewhere safe and supportive that meets their needs and goals. Clients have said that miracles happen on the hill at Santé Center for Healing.
Santé Center for Healing has been helping people in the DFW area and beyond find their paths to recovery for over 30 years. When you come to our peaceful, 16-acre campus, you’re never treated like a number or a failure. Your treatment plan is completely individualized to meet you where you are, so you can find the right way forward.
Before treatment begins, you’ll be able to talk to our admissions counselors and staff. They can help you understand if Santé would be a good fit and verify your insurance so there are no surprises during or after treatment. We’re here every step of the way, from your first call through life after treatment, no matter how hard it gets.
Our approach to residential addiction treatment at Santé
Santé’s residential treatment program is personalized to each client’s needs. Our team’s goal is not only to help you stop substance use, but to understand what contributed to it and begin building a strong foundation for recovery. We provide thorough assessments, treatment planning, and compassionate support as clients make progress.
1
Assessment and treatment planning
Treatment begins with a professional assessment. Our clinical team uses assessments to better understand each person’s experience with substance use, along with their mental health needs, trauma history, medical considerations, and recovery goals.
From there, we’ll create an individualized treatment plan. This plan may include individual therapy, group therapy, dual diagnosis support, family therapy, medication management, trauma-focused care, and other clinically appropriate services.
2
Detox support, when clinically needed
Some people need detox before beginning residential treatment. When withdrawal symptoms or medical risks are present, detox support can help them become stable before moving into the next phase of care.
We offer drug and alcohol detox at the same Argyle, TX, campus where our residential program is located. During your initial assessment, we can help you determine if medical detox is the safest first step into treatment.
3
Daily programming in residential treatment
During residential treatment at Santé, clients live on-site and participate in structured programming throughout the week. This may include:
- Individual counseling
- Group therapy
- 12-step introduction
- Experiential therapy, including ropes courses and equine therapy
- Neurofeedback
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Family therapy
Living at the residential treatment center day and night gives clients opportunities to connect with staff and peers in recovery, as well as space to reflect and decompress after therapy sessions.

Step-down care and aftercare planning
Residential treatment is just one part of the recovery process. As clients make progress, Santé’s clinical team helps plan the next appropriate level of care.
For some clients, that may include transitioning into our intensive outpatient program or outpatient rehab. We also provide aftercare planning, alumni support, and other ongoing recovery resources.
What to expect during residential treatment at Santé
Residential treatment gives Santé clients a supportive daily structure while still allowing care to be individualized. The exact schedule and length of treatment may vary based on your needs, progress, and continuing care plan.
A typical day in residential treatment
A typical day in residential treatment may include therapy, recovery-focused groups, individual counseling, 12-step introduction, family support when appropriate, and time for reflection and rest.
Clients are also supported with nutritious meals and enriching experiences. From breakfast in the dining hall to a challenge at the ropes course, days at Santé are full and empowering.
How long will I be in residential treatment?
The length of residential treatment depends on your clinical needs and progress. Many clients spend between 45 and 65 days in treatment, though some may stay in residential rehab at our Texas center for up to 100 days.
Santé’s team can discuss the expected length of stay during the admissions and assessment process so clients and families understand what to expect. Needs may change during treatment, and as progress is made, our clinical team will provide updates when appropriate.

Santé Center for Healing is on a 16-acre campus in Argyle, Texas, less than an hour from Downtown Dallas and Downtown Fort Worth. Every one of our amenities is designed to support recovery, including our gym, outdoor spaces, common spaces, and comfortable rooms.

Residential treatment for addiction, mental health, and root causes
Addiction is more than just substance use. Many people with a substance use disorder also struggle with their mental health. Some clients come to residential treatment at Santé Center with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or other mental health concerns. Others may not yet have a diagnosis or clearly know what they are experiencing, but know that substance use has become part of how they cope.
Santé provides addiction treatment for clients who may also need dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder support. Our team can address substance use while also helping clients work through mental health needs, trauma, stress, and other underlying struggles that may contribute to addiction.
By treating addiction and co-occurring needs together, clients have the opportunity to better understand their patterns and build a more stable foundation for recovery.
Dual diagnosis specialties at Santé include:
Residential treatment compared with other levels of care
Addiction treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Different levels of care offer different types of structure depending on a client’s needs, safety, substance use history, and recovery support system.
You don’t have to know which type of treatment you need; all you have to do is be ready to make a change. The Santé team can help you and your family understand which level of care may be the best place to start.
Level of Care
Best For
Structure
Clients who need medical support during withdrawal
Short-term stabilization before continued treatment
Residential Treatment
Clients who need 24/7 structure and live-in support
On-site therapy, clinical care, and recovery programming
Clients who need structured care while living off-site
Several treatment sessions per week
Clients with stable recovery support and lower-intensity needs
Flexible ongoing treatment while living at home
Clients transitioning from treatment into long-term recovery
Relapse prevention, continued support, and recovery planning
Residential treatment offers more structure than outpatient care because clients live on-site. Santé’s outpatient and intensive outpatient programs may be appropriate later in the recovery process or for clients who do not need 24/7 support. Many people see better outcomes in their recovery when they stay engaged in treatment for a longer time, even when that treatment transitions to flexible outpatient care.
Family support during residential treatment
Addiction affects families and loved ones, too. It’s normal to feel worried, confused, hurt, or unsure how to help when your loved one is struggling. During residential treatment, family support can help loved ones better understand addiction, treatment, communication, boundaries, and recovery.
At Santé, family involvement may be part of the treatment process when appropriate. Family therapy and support opportunities can help create a healthier foundation for communication and continued recovery after residential treatment.
Families don’t have to wait until their loved one is ready to call. If you are researching treatment for someone you care about, Santé’s Master’s-level admissions counselors can help you understand possible next steps.
