I am incredibly grateful towards the sanitary staff, other staff, nurses, doctors, peer navigators, kitchen and whomever else I may have forgotten. I had so much help through possibly one of the worst (well, now I know, healing opportunities) times of my life.They were caring, helpful with any questions, self-sacrificing at times in helping myself and others. I am forever grateful, came in with no hope, came out ready to reclaim my life. Thank you all so much.P.s. Cookie, thanks 🙏

I was there in 2005 Cynthia Brown was the director there at the time I remember her telling me you can have beautiful things if you just if you just stop using I put in my time there and Ive been sober every since she save my life I really wish I had a chance to thank this wonderful woman a God send so if youre out there thank you miss Cynthia Brown 😊❤God Bless you 😊

I personally thinks homeward bound is a good place for those who is in need of recovery and help. I was able to obtain the services and help I needed on statewide with the help of mr.sang and mr.grant and many more. The program only works if you put your all into it.

I have been a patient of homeward bound off and on for years unfortunately. They helped me when no one else batted an eye.I would venture to say Ive spent more time there than most. Im currently past my 5 month mark. Any that know me would attest this is nothing short if a miracle. I hear people ridicule and badger the facility ( new and old ), yet Id challenge the notion of better care being handed out elsewhere.With that said, allow a tad bit of advice. Those of us who have left the facility occasionally need a little help as well. It scares me when I hear a comment like Im busy when all I needed was five minutes to work through a craving.I challenge the staff not to allow paperwork to obstruct the real purpose of what the sole purpose should be...To help another alcoholic or addict.Keep up the good work my friends🙂

The therapy was great. The problem is I was court ordered to attend 52 hours of therapy. They decided I was done with their program at 47 hours without telling me. I find it odd that their program is 60 hours (which I was happy to do the full 60 hours), but they let me go at 47 which doesnt satisfy the entire reason why I was there in the first place. Now theyre saying that theres nothing they can do to give me the therapy they agreed to do in the first place. You would think a reasonable person would agree they didnt provide the service they agreed to, and tell me I can just sit in on 5 to 13 hours (which I expressed I was happy to pay for out of pocket.) Mind you none of this was done as a consequence to my poor behaviour in therapy, or anything that Ive done to my knowledge. This is just purely them deciding they dont want to help allieve a problem they created. I guess it would just be absurd to help me out and do the thing they originally said they would do.

It was my first time going there, and I did get the treatment I needed to be on! They have their own insurance with NTBHA which is Free, if your needing help with it just bring your ID and proof of residence along with 5 of each: T-shirts, pair of socks, and underwear. They will supply the rest and its first come, first-serve basis! Your going to stay there for 5 Days Max, and after that its all up to you now on your own and if you need a place to live they will help you as well!

This place has figuratively and literally saved my life on more than one occasion. I have a soft spot in my heart for homeward bound.

I came here as a broken person. I was adicted to meth and alcohol. With the help of Homeward bound left clean and started a new life. I am free of both issues because I followed their guidelines. I owe them a lot for my new life. ❤

This is a crisis center and addiction centerIntakes are from 7:00 till 3:00 p.m. Monday through FridayThe employees in across this unit are very kindYoure allowed to spend 7 days there on crisis5 days on detox30-day program is possible upstairs for rehabThree meals are provided a day.CounselingGroup sessions are held periodically thru the dayIF YOU SMOKE MAKE SURE YOU BRING A COUPLE OF PACKS.Sometimes there are community cigarettes

Mrs erika hudgins honestly the best staff here she did not just make us her priority but gave us a second solution to our problem and she treats everybody like this witch makes this facility honorable in a way witch feels comfortably at home I thank all the soon to meet staff

I have been hear a couple of times they never closed the door on me nor never gave up i was just sober for 1yr and 6 mnths till i started using again couple months ago i miss being high on life i want my life back i went to the last location on 10th street and it seemed to be closed idk if you guys are still up somewhere can someone please help i want my life back i caint take these beatings to my body anymore

Time to get serious. Im scared, just want this to stick already! On a bus headed straight there!

I love this place, I have been twice. It been a few years. But I loved the staff. At the time I could not swallow pills. And they were not to rude toward me. I would love to go back. But not sure how my family would react. So I say nothing to them about anything about myself

This place is great. Extremely clean tons of parking. The staff is delightful and very helpful. I really love the way they make sure that everything was okay during this five-day time of pure hell. If youre going to detox in Dallas and really want to stay clean these people not only detox you to a point where you need no more narcotics, they also provide resources for aftercare also after your stay.

I came to this rehab and I got help was using Heroin hit rock bottom. Never thought I was going to stop . I recommend couple of my friends n I cant believe how it help so much . No one is perfect . Took alot of strength to do it but at the end of the day it was so worth it . Thankfully for the people ,staff,recovery coach etc . Its help but u have to really want the help if u want to change have to strong because just to know right now it not easy Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with the word POSSIBLE in it . Might take u one time or couple time but u will eventually get it hopefully not to late . My friend got help too even though it took her the second time around but she was able to do it . Its a very good place to go if u actually want the help u need . Please seek help there always atleast one person out there that care I care .

I absolutely love this place, what it stands for, and all the character Homeward Bound possesses. What it lacks from the actual facility, it more than makes up for it with an immovable loving staff. And i love how they never lose sight of the ultimate goal... A FOREVER RECOVERY!!!My clean date is January 7, 2015Thank you Homeward Bound!!!

This place gives you hope. It teaches you how to live a life without drugs/alcohol. The staff is phenomenal and really goes the extra mile to make you feel like a person and not like some chump. This program works if you work it and it gives you the chance to live life on lifes terms. I highly recommend anyone trying to get psych or addiction treatment, to come here. Ive seen this place save so many lives and give so many people a sense of being and wanting to be an active and good member of society. HWB is a good plave to go to start your recovery and they will help you while you transition back into daily life.

I went to homeward bound and was just released. This place saved my life. I have never met a group of women and staff that was so amazing!!! Thank you so much.

Ive been in my fair share of rehabs, and this one was definitely the best experience, cheapest, and if youre looking to change your life and ready, theyll work wonders. Amazing resources, and I had a great time there on the womens unit. My first recommendation for anyone seriously looking to turn their life around. Id say my only complaint was the food, but even that had started to improve by the time I left. Staff was amazing as well.

This place is incredible. Has given many people I know their lives back. The city needs to allocate more funds for its facility and services though. Staff is great, counselors are PHENOMENAL, and every person I spoke to, including the doctor downstairs were so kind, down to earth and some of the most non-judgmental people Ive spoken with when it comes to addiction!

A place where you can trust your loved one will be helped. She told me how they offer great classes and are very understanding of what the patients are going through. Great program, free of charge.

I came here in 2009 to get sober. It definitely wasn’t as bad as some are saying but it definitely wasn’t a 5 star hotel. That being said I have not even looked at or wanted my doc since June 2009. I want to thank you guys for giving me the strength to obtain sobriety and maintain it and give me the skills I needed in order to do so. I also want to than you for giving me my life back. Almost 9 years that I have been sober and I owe it to this place. Thank you Homeward Bound!

I give this place 0 stars. First of all I was told it was not co-ed that it was all female, then i had an appointment time just to have to sit in the lobby for HOURS because I also was NOT informed that the place is basically a methadone clinic, (my addiction is not to opiates) and that basically they only know how to treat heroin addiction, so there wasnt a detox program for me, NOR an adjustment period in which I could detox from my drug of choice when first arriving from 3 hours away for the second day in a row. Never met my counselor until she came to inform me that if I didnt get up I couldnt have my cigarettes that day. And oh yeah, the people that go to detox before residential even get their cigarette breaks. Would NEVER recommend this place to anybody seriously trying to get helped. Not even an opiate addict.

I dont want to leave two stars on here because I know how many people this has helped. I just want to know, can I park my car there while I detox from alcohol for 7 days or 5 days or whatever it is?

Went to homeward bound under the impression that they had a womens residential program it turns out that the womens residential program was just starting so it had no structure and no schedule the techs are overworked underpaid they do the best resources they have I went almost my entire stay without seeing a counselor a girl got kicked out and a tech got fired because they were sleeping together other residents figured out ways to scam the nurses to get drugs like out of van and that kind of stuff thats supposed to only be used for detox the poor kitchen staff does the best with what they have but most everything that was served us was expired I volunteered and spend some my time working in the kitchen and I saw just how how bad it was with all the money that they are getting for each patient from the state they should be able to afford a little bit better accommodations I repeatedly had personal items of mine taken by the cleaning staff simply because it kind of looked like this items that homeward bound issued us my boyfriend had brought me a nice blanket and a very nice pillow which subsequently went missing within 24 hours and took about 3 or 4 days to track down in the mens residential section even when I was discharged I completed the whole program they forgot to give me my paperwork my discharge instructions and prescriptions at a psychiatrist had written for me and after about 2 weeks of calling and trying to get it I finally gave up this place would be a whole lot better if they treated the residence in the patients like human beings instead of just another number that makes them a little bit more money there were only a couple people there who I can truly think who did care and Mr Curtis is the main one hes the reason that I didnt leave early and that I stayed because I didnt have to be there

The workers are often in recovery, understand and are compassionate. They are what makes homeward bounds heart beat. Staff are there because they care, want to make a difference and live a life of recovery; living self directed and goal oriented lives!

I just got out today after 4 days detox and 14 days on the mens unit. Ive never felt more welcome at a treatment facility and Ive been to a few. The staff are knowledgeable and kind. My counselor Mr Osagie helped me come out of my shell and helped me find a recovery house to live in and even though its only my first day out I think its gonna be the best thing for me. If you need help I feel like its a good safe place to be...

Ive been coming to Homeward Bound several times in my life. The new facility is so much different then the older one. This place helped me out big time. I went to crisis a year ago. Put into residential for 30days and then my recovery coach helped me get transitted to El Paso in a halfway home. Im now back home and have been clean for over a year. I do have a question, for those that got a recovery coach for herion withdrawls, what is the place in downtown Dallasthey take youtake you to, too receive assistant housing and suboxone treatment. This is for a friend thats looking to get on Suboxone due to family needs and job.

After a 20 years on herion. Never in my life i thought i would ever feel normal again. HWB is an awesome place to detox. You got to want it. I miss all the staff. And my sisters that were with me on my 28 days stayed. Thank you Homeward Bound Inc.

Homeward Bound saved my life, and I am truly grateful for the life I have now. They gave me the path to follow and I followed the steps Recovery isnt easy, but its hell of a lot better than life in the hood!

My boyfriend is in jail and is waiting to be transferred here to homeward bound hes been in lew sterrett since oct.31 does anyone know the waiting process and how long it takes and what days they transfer please feel free to email me details or comment below

I have been to homeward bound like twice already. And let me tell you, the food is good, the counselors in detox are pretty laid back especially Charles, hes really kind and understanding. Im going back today because sadly I got back on drugs so this time i go, Im really gonna stay away from drugs. Its either rehab or 10 years in prison so ide rather do rehab. But both times were a good experience. 👍

The majority of their unit tech staff were outright rude and extremely apathetic to any and all concerns brought to their attention, not all, but most. They oftentimes would arrive late, only to then clock-in and then immediately send everyone to their rooms so they were not to be bothered- but almost as if they were children being disciplined.The cafeteria manager called me out aloud, when I mistakenly reached for the wrong plate within the lineup, the following one was simultaneously being placed right after it. She insisted that I instead take the one in which that the volunteer patient had most recently placed instead. She requested the plate from my hands- I voiced my opinion- she then DEMANDED the plate from my hands- so I gave it to her and then watched her scrape a perfectly fine, likely donated, piece of chicken, serving of corn and peaches right into right into the trashcan; she suggested I take the appropriate, plate... I left the line and decided not to eat that day...The other patients on the unit are quite vulgar and can be really nasty... Grown men, running around farting on others- literally. Roommates rather refer to each other as cellmates.It did appear that the counselors had at least somewhat of an interest in their patients well-being. If you are contemplating treatment at this center, I would strongly suggest looking into any outpatient options

Im lacy the one on the left in the picture., ive never been here before. but i will be coming at 8am. i have hit my rock bottom , losing family and no longer friends and no relationship. i am ready to stop. the pain i am is HORRIBLE. i am SICK of getting sick when i try so hard to not do drugs. i need some help. Ive lost weight . im weak. these bad decisions turned into habbits, and i cant stop biting my nails

I was there on the crisis unit and they let me know tay until I definitively had a place to stay

I have been to this facility about 18 months ago. I at the time was not pleased with all the classes during the day, heck I was just coming in from running the streets like a mad person. I felt what I needed was rest. Today how ever I understand the reasoning behind all the classes, they helped save my butt from falling off. The staff was absolutely wonderful. The beds were so much more comfortable than the ones in a jail cell, and the cooks had it going down in the kitchen. This place is not ment to be a vacation, so if thats what you really looking for I would suggest elsewhere.

I was a client of theirs up until I found out that they called CPS on me when I confided in them that I needed help. I dont know that it gets more backstabbing / cutthroat / negligent than that. Its a damn shame when you seek treatment and they use your children against you. I will never ask for help again.

Great place to get serious help.

A lot of things have changed but its a good place if you really want to work on your self good staff

Whatever you do dont be totally honest to these so called recovery coaches, they twist what actually happens and on the stand at!! God bless this lady, judgement day is for everyone!!

I dont have any experiences with this place. Im trying to help a friend, but based on the reviews, Im afraid of this place. My friend has been sheltered all her life. Never been to jail...never homeless and certainly, never been somewhere that the people refer to each other as cellies Perhaps Ill keep looking....

You would be more comfortable sleeping under a bridge to kick. Actually dallas county jail gives you a lot more help if you tell them your hooked in booking. Its sickening that they are getting funding to do this.

I went to Homeward Bound SIX times. Several of those, I just did detox. Back then, they gave you Ativan for withdrawal, and it was a godsend. Now, you get NOTHING. The new Dr is extremely unaware of how addiction works - it’s scary. He will take you off all meds - even medications for issues related to my heart. He cold turkey’d me from my important heart/blood pressure meds, and my BP went so high, many of the staff were worried. You will not even receive Advil, unless you have broken a bone. I fell off the top of a bunk bed and really hurt myself. The Dr required an order for AN ICEPACK. I left the day after that. How can you refuse an ice pack for someone who just fell off a very high bunk bed onto the hard linoleum!!?? He also takes everyone off any type of antidepressant you may be on. Seeing those girls withdrawal from those was awful. So you can imagine how withdrawing from hard drugs will be.

Im very grateful for this place....thank you!!!!!

All the princesses complaining about the food and the beds. This place has an amazing program and staff, free food and free beds. It saved my life, and Im forever grateful for the care I was shown there. ITS FREE. If you wanted the Hamptons then pay to go somewhere else. 3 meals a day, a bed, kind staff and recovery was all I could ask for and I got it here. 14 months sober writing this, this place and the steps will work wonders if you let it.

5DAY Detox = 5STARZPoint,(BLANK)*.*

I was sent here from a hospital for anxiety and as soon as I got there I had a panic attack and instead of helping me they called the police and like 10-15 showed up like I was going to murder someone. I needed medical help and they offered me a glass of warm milk. I dont know if youve have anxiety but sometimes its so bad that no amount of breathing can calm you down and a warm glass of milk isnt going to do anything besides make you puke from anxiety. Do not let the hospital send you here if you have anxiety. My husband was called to come pick me up after 1 hour of being there. Its filthy in there and its all locked and horrible. I just wanted to go outside and the cops mocked me saying that its the bad part of Dallas and wouldnt it give me anxiety. I was told before going there that it was all women and it wasnt. It was mostly full grown men and mind you Im 19 years old and I only needed help with anxiety and they couldnt give me anything to calm me down so all that made my anxiety worse

Lets begin spending FEDERAL money that President Obama put out there to END HOMELESS BY HOUSING FIRST PROGRAM LIKE SALT LAKE CITY AND OTHER CITIES USING HOUSING FIRST PROGRAMS . IF NOT LETS GIVE TO HOMELESS AN PANDHANDLING THE VICTIMS OF NON PROFIT CRIMES who pocket the money an go unchecked an FABRICATED audits most panhandlers stay at Dallas life an Austin street an the Bridge make up 80 to 85 percent of pandhandlers.LETS U S E. THE FEDERAL MONEY FOR THE REAL HOMELESS PANDHANDLER WHO CANNOT GET HELP DUE TO ABUSIVE PANDHANDLERS WHO ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE RESOURCE an Doug nice house an cars EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DOUG

Been trying to get in for 3 days already, I have been getting here at 3 am and they still don’t have beds.... 😑

Great place to detox and also fun place to do community service. Actually you can do both at the same time.

Saved my life they have amazing resources very knowledgeable and all the staff and techs are amazing. ..dont let one or two bad reviews throw u off..u have got to do the work for ur recovery not focus on everyone else when ur ready to surrender..be open minded and willing to take action ..then it will work..I thank God for homeward bound dallas

Calling to get info is impossible. The people that work there must hate their life and it shows at work. They are very eager to hang up on the phone. I explained my situation at 1st the lady on thw phone just didnt want to understand my specific situation. After 3 attempts on trying to explain in different ways with different words (ignorant lady) she finally said oh yea that this dept. Wow only to be directed to a voicemail. I sure wish other people would review the phone call process. They might be able tp shine light if not replace the person answering the phone. Why get a job where u help people and then donthe exact opposite. I called around 1:10 pm monday 23 in july...... I emailed themHello. I just wanted to help bring some light to a issue i had. I was told by cps to call to get information on when i could go see about a detox or some type of program. Cps also mentioned that they will need to send paper work and then i could start. So after waiting and being told about the paper work being sent by cps to you at this location, i call and the lady that answered the phone was quick to turn me away. So i had to explain it 3 different time in 3 different ways to help her understand. I feel as if the lady that answered the phone is quick to turn people in need away. She was very short with words. My only wish is that either speak to the person answering the phone or just replace with someone that would tale the job seriously and want to help and inform people drug problems. Is that not the goal? I sure hope i get a human response.

I just got discharged today, place is filthy, detox is a joke, all the techs and nurses are black and ghetto, trying to start drama and run things. People were sick in there and couldnt see the doctor. To many groups all day and not enough break. I was smart and got on subuxone there which made the days easier , it made me feel better I will give them that they helped in that. The food is nasty though gies you bad gas. Its honestly like jail but you can smoke and walk around in mens unit. Grown men call each other cellies and fart on each other

Just remember dont get hung up on lookz.

My son was given an opportunity by a judge to attend a 30 day rehab and if he completed it successfully would be allowed to stay at my home until his trial. He was not getting along with the drug counselor assigned to him and requested another counselor that seemed to help him open up, but was refused his request. He was drug tested a week or so ago, with a false positive, took a second test & came back clean. The sane thing happened today but they refused to retest him and discharged him instead. After picking him up we immediately found a reputable drug testing org open, AccuScreen. They did a five panel drug screen and it came back negative. I paid for there lab to confirm the results. My son is in jail because Homeward Bound would not give him a second drug test. He had too much to loose to be foolish enough to get high but because he angered one of the counselors they sent him back to jail. I would not recommend this place. You have no idea what level if education some of the people in charge have. It seemed what qualified th techs to be techs was the fact they were recovered drug addicts themselves. To me thats not necessarily a qualification to help others. Maybe- maybe not! Im very disappointed in the lack of communication I recieved after several request. I want to speak with the Executive Director and find out what happened and why. For the moment this organization that started with great intentions maybe has lost touch with all therapies and has become a one trick pony and not a very good trick any more.

The staff were very nice but I only recommend for Alcholics. Those seemed fine. If your a Heroine addict your better off at Solace. Homeward bound only provided ibuprohine and anxiety medicine oh and pepto bismo. So when I was there I finished the detox but it was terrible they expected a 4yr addiction to go away in three days with otc medicine. I could have done that at home for $10 bucks. They do offer residential but no more medication after detox. It was a fail after that I went to Solace where I was better off.

Great place to start your recovery

So much live and compassion. The people that work there care so much for others.

ZERO STARS... really..I think everyone should know how this place really is because I couldnt believe presby dallas hospital would send anyone here it was appalling to say the least. This place was like a nightmare out of a movie. It was considerably worse then Denton County Jail. Ive never in my live seen such horrifying living conditions. It was smelly, dirty and really UN-humane. I would never wish on my worst enemy ...or even my dog. I really dont understand why the State of Texas hasnt shut this place down. And why hospitals would be sending there patiences there. Only if you like to be over medicated and are truly homeless then I would say its for you! If anyone of the caseworkers saw the living conditions im sure they would no longer send anyone here. The State of Texas really needs to send someone out there and make sure the RNs are real nurses.. I dont know how this place hasnt been shut down already.This place was like a LIVING HELL. I would SERIOUSLY advise anyone to read the paperwork closely before going here because it was that bad.(if you can read the paperwork because it was copied so many times..) When I was there the RN said stay in the gate or you will get robbed.. and I truly believed them it im surprised someone didnt seal my car. It was unreal. Im going to try and wright reviews anywhere on the internet that I can but i literately could never wright enough bad things about this place to give you the right idea...

Your damb lucky they provide anything and should be greatful of any help offered. You went to them they did not go to you...Check yourself!!

My brother was denied help because he is a paraplegic and has a catheter. They dont have doctors to care for patients with these types of medical needs and he was told he would be a liability. Very disappointed.

This place was a joke hey dont waste the tax payers money making somebody rich for dosing adivan and feeding slop that i wouldnt feed my dog had gas and nightmares felt like i was in an insane issylum never been so disservices in my life it was my choice to go not state mandate and i was only given three days to detox from heroin last time i checked the process took a week or Longer thanks Jah love

If i get there and they dont have a bed will they send me to a overflow facility thanks

Their really helping those that want help

I work with clients at this facility.

Helping the people who really want the help.

Ive been calli g this place for 2 days and left 5 messages for some help. No-one has bothered to call me back

I can say i honestly thank this program for everything and a chance in life.i stayed hear as a drug addict and came out on the other side been clean&sober since 2007
