Questions we hear often.

Grace To Change provides outpatient substance use treatment for adolescents (ages 14+) and adults. Our primary service area is Collin County, but we serve all Texas residents. Some of our clients voluntarily enroll. Others are court-ordered to do so. Some do not have insurance. Some self-pay. Please see additional questions and answers below, which might address your circumstances in more detail.

We treat all alcohol and drug addictions including opioids, stimulants, cannabis, and Kratom. We evaluate each client prior to enrollment to assess specific needs, which allows us to tailor treatment appropriately.

Yes. We do not offer this treatment on site, however.

We employ Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors. We also provide peer support through a Recovery Coach and Peer Support Specialist. Our entire provider team is also in recovery, meaning that the care and counseling we deliver stems from relatable lived experience, delivered with empathy, compassionate guidance, and clear expectations for accountability.

Yes. We cover co-occurring mental health conditions in our group sessions. In addition, our individual counseling sessions aim to get to the root causes of addiction, which are often undiagnosed or untreated mental health conditions. If the condition requires additional treatment, we have an extensive referral partner network.

No. Grace To Change is not a faith-based treatment program, and participation does not require any particular religious belief or practice. We recognize, however, that faith and spirituality can be meaningful sources of strength and support in recovery. Clients are welcome to explore and discuss faith as part of their recovery journey when it is meaningful to them.

The appropriate level of care depends on each person’s individual needs. Call Grace To Change at (972) 542-2900 to discuss your situation and determine which services may be appropriate. Based on initial intake and our formal assessment, we will work with you to determine the best next steps.

If your loved one could potentially be our client, but isn’t ready to commit, and you need support to live through addiction alongside them, our counseling services are also available to you. We do charge for these but can work with you if payment would otherwise be a barrier.

Services can begin same day, or the next day, depending on circumstances. Call (972) 542-2900 or contact us through our website. Walk-ins are also welcome for an initial discussion, but we do recommend calling ahead first. If you have a Medicaid card, bring that with you. If you do not have insurance, this will not prevent you from enrolling.

No, you do not need a referral. In some instances, CPS or probation will mandate participation. In other circumstances, a therapist, attorney, or inpatient provider may make a referral to us, but a referral is not necessary.

You don’t have to be sober, in that we treat many people whose addictions are still active, but we are not a medical detox facility and cannot accept clients while they are high or inebriated. If you or someone you love needs detoxification first, or a higher level of care, such as inpatient treatment, we can offer referrals to you.

Grace To Change offers:

• Substance abuse evaluations
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
• Supportive Outpatient Program (SOP)
• Individual counseling
• Aftercare
• Drug testing
• Education and community outreach

See our programs.

IOP consists of 18 group sessions, held three times per week for six weeks (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 6-9 PM), plus 4 individual counseling sessions, scheduled routinely for one hour by the client and the counselor.

SOP is considered a “step-down” from IOP, in that it meets less frequently. SOP includes 12 group sessions, held twice per week for six weeks (select any two each week from Monday, Tuesday or Thursday), plus 3 individual counseling sessions, scheduled routinely for one hour by the client and the counselor.

No. You can attend both, but doing so is not required. We will discuss which fit is best for you during your initial assessment.

Drug testing is conducted at our location, and results are confidential and available in minutes. Individuals must be 18 or older unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Drug tests are $30. We can work with you on payment if there are specific cost barriers.

Yes. Drug testing services are available to both clients and non-clients.

Our drug test covers 15 types of drugs and alcohol including Fentanyl and Kratom.

Any graduate of either IOP or SOP is eligible for aftercare for life—at no additional charge. This means that after completing one or both programs, a client may return to as many group sessions as desired, with no expiration date or time limit. If individual counseling is requested, aftercare clients receive a reduced fee.

Adults: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, 6-9 PM.
Adolescents: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, 4-7 PM.

Individual counseling sessions are scheduled Monday through Friday. Call (972) 542-2900 or contact us through our website for current appointment availability.

Group sessions are in-person. Counseling may be in person or virtually. Aftercare can also be in person or virtually.

Hopefully, the quality of your life and your relationships improve, and you take the skills and tools learned at Grace To Change with you to new endeavors. However, because we know that recovery is a lifelong journey, we remain here for you. Many clients stay on to participate in aftercare immediately following program graduation. Others may not initially do so but may return at any point. Aftercare is completely voluntary and there is no expiration date on its availability to you.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) costs $2,500. Our Supportive Outpatient Program (SOP) is $1,000. If you do not have insurance or coverage through Medicaid, do not let cost be a barrier to you. We can discuss options for you to enroll at little or no cost.

We do not accept commercial insurance, but we do accept several forms of Medicaid. Please call us at (972) 542-2900 to discuss your plan. If you wish to pay out of pocket, you may do so.

No one will be turned away for inability to pay. We will work with you on a sliding scale, installment program, and also offer need-based scholarships with minimal burden to apply.

Yes, you will. There are no surprises at Grace To Change regarding payment.

Substance abuse evaluations that must be presented to the court or probation cost $125. The cost for a drug test is $30. Do not let cost be a barrier to you. We can provide drug tests at no cost if circumstances warrant.

Parents and loved ones are encouraged to learn about our programs and what the client is experiencing in our programs. There is no requirement however and involvement can and will vary by circumstance. We also offer family education programs, counseling for families and parents, and other opportunities for loved ones to engage.

Grace To Change protects the privacy of all clients. Drug testing results are also confidential. We are HIPAA compliant.

Being a nonprofit means Grace To Change exists to serve people and our community—not to generate profits for owners or shareholders. Revenue from treatment services, grants, and charitable donations is invested back into our mission and programs. This allows us to help make quality treatment accessible to people who might otherwise struggle to afford it and to provide ongoing support that extends beyond treatment.

Our goal is simple: to help people achieve lasting recovery, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Call 911 for a suspected overdose or immediate danger. Call 988 for a mental health or suicide crisis.
