Homeward Bound Inc.

Founded in 1980, Homeward Bound, Inc. has helped more than 150,000 people move toward sobriety. Now serving 18 counties in North Texas and 9 counties in Far West Texas, we are the largest and one of the oldest and most respected not-for-profit substance abuse and mental health treatment agencies in Texas. A large part of our mission has always been to divert people from going to jail or prison. Our founder and executive director, Douglas W. Denton, designed and operated the first jail diversion program in Texas – and one of the first in the nation. Homeward Bound, Inc. is the go-to resource for judges, attorneys, probation officers, public hospital emergency rooms, law enforcement officers, and a lot of the surrounding community. We provide intensive residential treatment on a 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week basis. Each client is assigned to a licensed counselor and a treatment team that manages treatment every step of the way – from detox to residential treatment to outpatient counseling - to support re-entry to the outside world. We give clients the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual help they need to move to a full, healthy life. Twelve-step programs and peer counseling are integral parts of treatment. We also provide training for professionals seeking to maintain their licenses through continuing education and for people beginning their training as addiction specialists. We accept private insurance, and we have federal, state, and private foundation grant funding to cover people who cannot pay for treatment.
