In treatment centers, which include private and state-sponsored facilities, people start by going through a period of detox.

Following detox, patients are encouraged to enter rehab. Both inpatient and outpatient rehab facilities exist in Grand Prairie.

Once in rehab, people are provided with counseling that is tailored to their individual needs. It is age appropriate, but also culturally sensitive, and emphatic of the particular mental health needs of the patient. It is common for a co-occurring disorder to be present, which must be treated as a continuum of the addiction.
