Leonard Kincaid, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Houston Recovery Center, believes that “change begins at the heart”. He shares that “HRC began as a jail diversion program for public intoxication delivering sobering services. Frequently returning clients led us to design and deliver long-term, client-driven substance use recovery programming. Now we have become a Community HUB that addresses problematic substance use. Our approach is based on a Recovery Management framework that identifies the problem, engages the person, stabilizes their substance use, and supports long-term social reintegration. This approach capitalizes on our staff’s lived experience and our agency culture of compassion, dignity, and respect. It also integrates whole-person care while addressing a broad range of social services. We have grown to serve men and women from all walks of life, all demographics, multiple cultures, professional careers and ages—from younger, college-aged students to adults who are older.” Houston Recovery Center has released its Ten-Year Impact Report, which can be found on its website at www.Houstonrecoverycenter.org.

About Houston Recovery Center
Houston Recovery Center (HRC) was launched in 2013 in Houston, Texas, to develop and operate a law enforcement diversion program. The Sobering Center delivers this program by receiving and monitoring intoxicated people as they safely sober up. The recovery process can include a series of treatment, healthcare, housing, and social services offered by independent specialty providers. These providers often operate in silos, so their services are not linked nor delivered as a continuum of care. Houston Recovery Center’s frequent clients, many with complex profiles, lack the resource capacity and behavioral capability to navigate and enroll in a series of independent services on their own. In response, HRC designed Partners in Recovery, a recovery care management program pairing six months of case management with 18 months of peer support. HRC’s “recovery team” creates a recovery plan based on client-defined goals. Services are linked together in a continuum using transportation and “warm handoffs” to deliver a system of care. The overarching goal is to improve successful access to appropriate care resulting in increased rates of sustained stabilization and a better quality of life.
