 La Hacienda Treatment Center 

La Hacienda Treatment Center is a facility for alcoholism and other chemical dependencies that is located in Hunt, Texas. The focus of La Hacienda is to make recovery a reality for patients. It is fully licensed by the Texas Department of Health and by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Substance Abuse Services. La Hacienda is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and is approved by most major insurance carriers. With over 35 years as a highly reputable treatment center, La Hacienda works closely with professionals to guarantee the most successful and efficient solutions to revitalization. The staff to patient ratio, two to one, is one of the highest ratios for the treatment of addiction in the country. Patients are given treatment plans that are specific to their needs. Twelve programs are offered at La Hacienda depending on the category in which an individual falls. The facility has four outreach offices in Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Kerrville, and San Antonio) to provide support meetings for alumni and their families after discharge from treatment. La Hacienda follows the Twelve-Step Program created by Alcoholics Anonymous, and it has stood the test of time as the most effective, most available and least expensive way for addicted individuals to become satisfied with abstinence from their addictions.

Program Philosophy

 * "Addiction is a treatable disease which manifests itself in many complex physical, behavioral, psychological and spiritual patterns. These symptoms affect not just the identified patient but also, in a very profound way, the entire family. We further believe that once an individual develops the disease of chemical dependency, recovery can only occur if total abstinence is maintained from all mood/mind-altering chemicals unless competently prescribed. Continuing care follow-up and involvement in a 12-Step support program are essential to the recovery process."

Outreach Offices
La Hacienda Treatment Center offers community support throughout Texas for alumni and their families. The primary goal of each outreach office is to provide support meetings for alumni and their families after discharge from treatment. Representatives are available in each office to answer questions that individuals may have on chemical dependency. There are four outreach offices in Texas that La Hacienda offers.

Alumni/Continuing Care
This helps patients to build a support system to maintain and enhance the personal growth and sobriety achieved during treatment. Strong alumni networks were developed throughout Texas to meet the needs of graduated patients. Former patients participate in weekly meetings and help new graduates transition into recovery in their community. La Hacienda hosts an alumni reunion and invites all former patients and families to attend. A quarterly newsletter of upcoming events, speaking engagements, and recovery articles are available online or by mail upon request.

The 12 Steps
The Twelve-Step Program are based on a set of Spiritual principles that was originally created in 1935 by the Alcoholics Anonymous in the United States.


 * 1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.
 * 2) Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
 * 3) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
 * 4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
 * 5) Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
 * 6) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
 * 7) Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
 * 8) Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
 * 9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
 * 10) Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
 * 11) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
 * 12) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
