The Council on Recovery is a Houston-based nonprofit in the mental health care sector that provides prevention, education, intervention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals and families affected by alcoholism, drug abuse, and co-occurring mental health disorders. It serves a broad audience across all life stages, from new mothers and babies to elderly populations, offering outpatient treatment and family support through its Center for Recovering Families. The organization operates as a United Way agency and relies on public funding as well as private contributions, grants, and program fees to support services for those without insurance or financial resources. Founded in 1946, The Council emphasizes a holistic approach to recovery that aims to heal the body, mind, and spirit while helping clients reintegrate into their families and communities. A notable recent development includes the establishment of the Center for Co-Occurring Disorders to address dual-diagnosis needs, reflecting its emphasis on comprehensive, life-spanning care.
