You're in the right place

Watching someone you love struggle is its own kind of exhausting.

If you’re here, things have likely moved past what a conversation or appointment can fix – and the fear of what happens if nothing changes is real. Take a breath. Reaching out is the hardest part, and you’ve already started it.

At Black Horse Health, detox is not a revolving door or a quick fix. It is safe, medically-supervised stabilization, guided by an experienced clinical team – and it is the beginning of a real recovery plan built around the person you love. We’ll listen, assess where they are today, and help you understand the right level of care. Confidentially, and without pressure.

What detox looks like here

Medically-managed withdrawal, with comfort and 24/7 care

Detox at Black Horse Health is supervised withdrawal management — a clinical team monitoring vitals, easing symptoms, and keeping your loved one safe and as comfortable as possible while substances clear their system. This is the stabilization that makes everything that follows possible.

Medical detox here is often the right first step for someone who:

How care works here

Detox is step one — not the whole journey

Detox clears the body, but it doesn’t, on its own, address why the addiction took hold. Lasting recovery comes from what follows — which is why we treat detox as the entry point to a continuum of care, and help your family plan the whole path from day one.

01

Medical Detox

Round-the-clock clinical supervision to safely manage withdrawal and stabilize the body — with comfort and dignity at the center.

Stabilize safely

02

Residential Treatment

An individualized plan that treats the whole person — including the depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief that so often sit underneath addiction.

Address the "why"

03

Step-Down Care

When appropriate, a structured transition through PHP or IOP — building the skills, support, and routine for a life that lasts beyond treatment.

Build what lasts

Detox alone rarely holds. The families who see lasting change are the ones who plan for what comes after stabilization. We’ll assess your loved one and recommend the right level of care — never a one-size-fits-all program.

Why Black Horse Health

Luxury here isn't about amenities. It's about the quality of the care — and the people guiding your loved one through it.

Medical safety, around the clock

24/7 clinical oversight, so the most dangerous part of getting sober happens under expert care — not alone.

Comfort and dignity

Withdrawal symptoms managed proactively in a calm, private environment. No one should white-knuckle their way through detox.

Privacy and discretion

An intimate, confidential setting built for professionals and families who need their recovery kept private.

Individualized, bespoke plans

No template programs. Care is assessed and tailored to the person — their substance, their history, the conditions underneath.

A clear path into ongoing care

Detox flows seamlessly into residential and step-down treatment — no scramble, no gap, no lost momentum.

100+ years of experience

A seasoned clinical team, affiliated with the J. Flowers Health Institute, that genuinely understands addiction medicine.

The residence

A calm, private place to begin again

Recovery is easier to imagine in a place that feels restorative rather than institutional. Our Houston residence is bright, comfortable, and intentionally intimate — a setting designed to lower the stress of those first days and let the real work begin.

What Families Say

Black Horse helped me through a harrowing de-tox, with ultimate care and concern. The staff made all the difference, managing with a high level of integrity, concern and kindness. I would highly recommend anyone needing this level of care.

- Ed M.

Monty was a great Counselor who helped me find my own path in Recovery. Tony and Tonda very obviously care about providing lasting treatment to any and all types of people struggling with addiction. I can’t recommend Black Horse enough.

— Josh L.

The facility is comfortable and gorgeous, I cannot say enough about the surroundings. The meals were amazing, prepared freshly every day by a dedicated chef. I felt like royalty. Never once did I feel looked down on or judged. I felt at home and at ease every moment.​

Before you call

The questions families ask us most

Is detox alone enough?

For most people, no – and that’s an honest answer rather than a sales one. Detox safely clears the body, but the patterns and the underlying issues that drive addiction need more than a few days to address. Detox alone often leads back to where things started.

That’s why we treat detox as the first step into a continuum of care. When you call, we’ll assess your loved one and help you understand whether detox should lead into residential treatment, step-down care, or another path. You won’t have to figure it out alone.

Yes. Confidentiality is fundamental to how we operate. Our residence is intentionally intimate and discreet, and your information is never shared. Many of the families and professionals who come to us do so precisely because privacy matters to them.

Black Horse Health is a private, self-funded program. This is what allows us to keep our residence intimate, our care fully individualized, and our treatment free from the limits insurance networks place on the length and type of care.

Our admissions team can walk you through the investment and your options in a confidential conversation – so you have clear information before making any decision.

You’ll speak with a member of our admissions team – not a call center. We’ll listen, ask a few questions to understand the situation, and help you understand whether detox is the right first step and what should come next. There’s no pressure and no obligation. Often, simply having a clear plan is the relief families are looking for.

One confidential conversation. We'll help you understand whether detox is the right first step — and what should follow.

Take the first step

The first step can happen today

Detox is safer with the right team — and far more effective when it’s the start of a real plan. Speak with our admissions team today, and we’ll help you understand the right level of care for the person you love.
