Kemah Palms Recovery

They provide inpatient residential, outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Houston is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Kemah offer one at all.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Houston is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Kemah.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Houston and Dickinson.

Adult women are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.

Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
