Prevention and Recovery Center (PaRC) is a premier drug and alcohol rehab center. We offer holistic drug rehab including an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults in the Clear Lake area. We opened this program in 2007 to meet the needs of individuals requiring less rigorous treatment than inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation. If you are unsure about whether outpatient care is right for you, speak with one of our knowledgeable representatives to schedule a clinical assessment with a licensed Admissions Counselor. A thorough clinical assessment will determine if outpatient care is right for you and our trained Admissions team will help you determine your next step you achieve recovery. If outpatient care is what you need, PaRC offers a nationally accredited, comprehensive outpatient program that will help you establish the foundation for a clean and sober life.
