The Meadows Texas

They dont treat everyone equally and traumatized my family member. Take advice and DO NOT ever come here.

I went here in 2015 was called something different then and I’ve been sober since back then it was a very strict and good place to be I actually think about it all the time!

I was physically attacked by another The staff took a very lightly and even let the guy continue to walk around on monitored after he tackled me to the ground. Ray was not a very good therapist. All we did was go over inventory sheets for 2.5 hours every single morning. His responses to your problems hardly ever made sense. When I asked to change therapist they wouldn’t let me and the medical Director tried to tell me I don’t own his group. I never suggested that he should change but he does. I just suggested that I wanted to go to a different therapist. Ray also lied to me about what really happens if you sign the release of information for your family. The staff here can make some of the biggest And they find a way to make it your fault.

My review is based on my initial interactions with the staff at The Meadows Texas. My decision to choose this program for my Mother was made with complete confidence. The team at The Meadows Texas took time to listen, provided comforting words, gave advice, and explained their program in detail. Mark Degataga (Admissions Specialist) was my initial point of contact when I called to get information and I had already spoken to 9 other companies. He made me comfortable to go into detail about my Mothers struggles and was knowledgeable about the services The Meadows offered. Mark’s passion for the program and detailed information made me feel confident that this program was what we needed for my Mother. Mark stayed in communication with me over the course of 8 days. Answered all my questions and checked in not only on my Mothers progress but to see how I was doing as well. Although the ability to tour the facility was not an option due to privacy of patients, Mark gave a detailed description of the property, rooms, therapy, treatments, and activities that were going to be available throughout the program. Mark’s communication from the initial call all the way through admissions was extraordinary! He even called me to see how I was feeling after my Mom was situated and transported. Brenda Henson (Patient Financial Coordinator) was the second person I spoke to at The Meadows. She was professional and addressed all concerns. Not being able to tour the facility was still something I really wanted to do but understood the privacy of patients is important. I felt like at the very minimum I needed to see the grounds. I drove to The Meadows and had the opportunity to meet and speak with the Executive Director Lori Bachman. At this point I had already narrowed my decision down to 2 places. My conversation with Lori and ongoing communication with Mark made me feel at ease. The grounds were beautiful and Lori’s passion shined through just as Mark’s and Brenda’s did. They were genuine and are truly in this to help patients. Rehabilitation Programs are the initial stepping stones to help individuals start their road towards a better future. I know there is a lot of hard work and dedication that will be needed for ongoing success. I’m excited to see how my Mom will benefit from the treatment and services offered by The Meadows staff. I will post an update once services are completed. Thank you again to Mark, Brenda, and Lori for their compassion and assistance when dealing with a difficult time and helping this be a seamless process.

Outstanding program, therapists, staff, food, premises. this place can change your life.

After working in this field for many years, I was appalled in the level of care my family member received. If you do not treat dual diagnosis, you need to let family know that from the start. Their history was provided. It is not right to kick someone out for mental health issues that you were aware of during the most delicate time of their life. No violence occurred. There are options to keep your patients and staff safe with out throwing someone out. IF YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED PSYCHOSIS PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS PLACE. Do better.

I attended The Meadows Texas in January of 2024 not knowing what to expect with this being my first time going to rehab. From the moment I was greeted by Kevin my anxiety was immediately put at ease. There are SO MANY staff members I am sincerely thankful for that words cannot express the gratitude I feel for them! Nurses Kayla, Hali, Tomsie, Deann, Leslie and Maureen to name a few although there are many others that truly had an impact on me during my stay there. Behavioral Health Techs James, Beth, Ebony, Amy, and Angie went above and beyond in their duties and helped me through the times I was at my lowest mentally, emotionally, and physically. Again, there were so many other staff members that I am so thankful for that aren't mentioned in this review. The food, facilities, and amenities were amazing! Between group therapy, individual therapy, equine therapy, lectures, and 12 step meetings the days are filled with all the tools needed to take control over your addiction. I could go on with all the good things I have to say about The Meadows but am trying to keep it brief. I'm so glad I chose this place!

I received treatment here for 30 days back in 2019! I enjoyed every bit of my time here. I was treated with the most care and love from everyone of the staff! They also showed me further sober living options in San Diego California. I stayed there for 9 month and was able to find myself. I moved back to Texas and today I have 4 years clean and sober from drugs! Best thing I ever did was accepting the opportunity my parents gave me to go to this wonderful rehab.
