Abilene Betty Hardwick

Substance Use and Mental Health Treatment

Abilene Betty Hardwick offers outpatient and intensive outpatient care for adults living with substance use disorders, mental health conditions, or both. Treatment includes individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, and evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) as well as medications for mental health conditions are available to support recovery.

Trauma-Informed, Whole-Person Approach

Treatment is grounded in trauma-informed care. Staff are trained to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel respected and empowered. Therapy focuses not only on reducing symptoms but also on building coping strategies and restoring trust. By addressing both mental health and substance use in the context of life experiences, the center helps adults move toward stability and long-term recovery.

Community Supports for Daily Stability

The center provides a wide range of support services for adults. These include housing assistance, employment counseling, peer mentoring, recovery coaching, and education on health and wellness. Psychosocial rehabilitation and life skills training help clients strengthen independence and build resilience in everyday life.

Coordinated and Intensive Care Options

For adults with serious mental health needs, services include Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), which brings a mobile team of providers directly into the community to deliver care, rehabilitation, and support. This approach ensures consistent, wraparound assistance for those at higher risk of relapse or crisis. Crisis intervention, case management, and medication support are also available to help individuals remain stable and avoid hospitalization.

Community-Based Recovery

The facility emphasizes integration into community life as part of the recovery journey. In addition to structured therapy, clients may engage in supportive programs such as adaptive recreation, peer-led groups, and volunteer opportunities. These resources not only strengthen recovery but also foster connection, purpose, and long-term stability. Sliding fee scale payments are available for clients without insurance.
