Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

The Betty Hardwick Center provides care for people of all ages who are living with mental illness, developmental disabilities, or substance use disorders. It offers many types of support, including outpatient therapy, early childhood intervention, and intensive programs like the STEP early psychosis and substance use recovery services. The center uses a community-based approach to help people stay stable and live healthy lives. Therapies at the center include individual and group counseling, skills training, medication management, and crisis intervention. Many services are based on the Texas Recovery and Resiliency model, which focuses on treating the whole person and helping them reach their goals. These therapies help clients better manage symptoms, improve daily life skills, and build stronger support systems. Betty Hardwick Center also runs special programs like Adaptive Recreation for adults with disabilities, Supported Employment and Housing services, and a Veteran Counselor Program for military families. Programs are tailored to meet clients where they are—whether that’s at home, in school, or in the community—making care more personal and effective.
