Great Oaks Recovery Center

GORC was pivotal in my recovery process. I've seen mixed reviews both before after attending, but it really comes down to perspective. I believe anyone could walk into a business (run by people) and consequently find flaws, and many in recovery have a higher proclivity to do that because their emotions are all dysregulated, but I chose to attend with the a growth-minded attitude and prepared to sit with all the uncomfortableness I'd numbed for far too long, and was committed to being completely sober before entering in order to absorb all the therapy and training from day one and to optimize my experience there. The staff were incredibly friendly, the amenities were great, and it was a very cathartic and incredibly rewarding experience for me 💪🏼🙏🏼

Great Oaks was amazing!!! As a veteran suffering from a 23 year opiate addiction as well as newer condition developed within the past 5 years developed due to extended incarceration. Prior to learning of Great Oaks I had been through 4 treatment programs over a 2 year period with none being successful. I had given up on hope of recovery and was very suicidal. After going through Great Oaks I was relieved! I was able to open up and able to love myself again. I was so satisfied with their attention to my condition individually that I decided to extend my stay at Great Oaks for an additional 45 days (90 days total). Great Oaks worked with me as if I was a person and got to know me. Never was I treated as a number or just another client moving through their system. They were able to help me comfortably address and open up to issues steming from time in service as well as barriers developed due to years of a horrible and very much deadly addiction and the life it had absorbed me into and teach me how to love myself again. I realized there was so much more to life and people that cared about me than I was previously allowing myself to see. This was a completely different rehabilitation approach that I had ever experienced before notnonly was it different, it was fun as well. Before giving up on yourself or your friend or loved one and think there is no hope for overcoming this disease, please take the time to explore what Great Oaks has to offer first. They truly care and are devoted to saving lives.

A big part of my story is that I’ve been to a number of rehabilitation facilities, that doesn’t have to be apart of everyone’s story, but it is apart of mine. I say this because I have places to compare Great Oaks to, and Great Oaks is a wonderful, accommodating, safe space to start your journey. The staff is amazing, they go above and beyond and by far out of all the places I’ve been to, Great Oaks has something special, it doesn’t feel like a business that wants your money, I’ve been to places where it was very clear that money was what they were more concerned about. All doctors and staff make you the priority. They care about your comfort, listen to your needs, and offer many modalities of recovery. It truly is the only facility that means what they say when it acknowledges that each person is different Abe they make certain to create an individualized treatment plan for each client. They go above and beyond, from intake, detox, residential, to your aftercare plan. Jody reaches out to me on a weekly basis, she responds to all calls, emails, texts on the same day as you reach out. The doctor is amazing as well as all the nurses. I highly recommend Great Oaks as a place to begin or continue your rehabilitation journey

Great Oaks Recovery Center is a great place! Great food, great staff and they continue to provide great service to me and other alumni even after I got home. My Great Oaks family has alumni events and weekly meetings that I still attend today after being there one year ago. If you’re serious about recovery and want to get help from real people in a nice environment, Great Oaks is the place for you! It works if you work it! Jody, Amy, Mike and everyone, You saved my life! I’m forever grateful!!

This treatment facility is phenomenal. If you were blindfolded and unknowingly brought to Great Oaks, you would 100% believe you were on vacation at some retreat. And you wouldn’t be all the way wrong. While the vibes are vacation-like, everyone will always experience uncomfortable situations. Great Oaks in general, but specifically the staff (who make every effort to be so much more than employees clocking in/out) really are unmatched and if my daughters would let me, I would return annually for the vibes and the staff alone. If you are currently in active addiction and reading this, perhaps this is your cue to pursue a better life, and for so many of us, that start at Great Oaks Recovery Center. Thanks again, GORC. I’m forever thankful and grateful.

I’ll be honest. This place is very, very beautiful from the outside. The grounds are well kept and there are plenty of amenities outdoors.DO NOT TRUST THE PICTURES ONLINE. THEY ARE OLD AND/OR STAGED!!!The inside is very different. The amount of mold I found from the bathroom areas to the mattresses (yes mattresses) was alarming. The male and female houses are well kept but if you’re there for detox then do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. The Med Staff is incredibly rude, the Detox rooms are 3rd world, and the night crew only cares to make sure you’re breathing. Not how you’re doing.The food is about as good as you’d get in the military, at best (not a compliment), the intake process was next to nil, and the group sessions seemed to have been written by a 10 year old. Even the check out process was shoved off to someone else because no one wanted to step up and go above and beyond for their job.It was overall a terrible/horrible experience. I only give it 2 stars due to Patrick, Catie, and Jody.

I have been out of Great Oaks for nearly 2 months now. The recovery center has propelled me to a place in life I thought I would never see again. The curriculum is outstanding. The facilitators are very special people and go way beyond what would be considered job requirements. They care about you and will lead you on a path to recovery if you are willing to listen and do the work. You will experience a few tears and a lot of laughter as you grow in the community. The staff is wonderful from top to bottom. The food is exceptional and the setting is great. Five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Just graduated today. It's been the best experience of my life. The supportive therapy I received from the counselors to the techs was so wonderful. I appreciate everyone and everything that I received from Great Oaks and look forward to visiting in the future.

This was one of the greatest places I could ever wish to start my recovery. Thank you Mrs. Jody the best case manager alive, Mrs. Amy the best Director Possible in the world you both helped me get my life in line so I could go back to driving trucks and getting my life together and really saving my life... Mrs. Miranda the best tech in the world I owe you and love you to pieces thank you for taking care of me and bearing with me.. All the techs are great and the food is out of this world good.

I highly recommend this treatment for those who need help, I just graduated there January 3rd 2025, with my experience they helped me through everything and the support system is so strong. I honestly didn't wanna leave and I was calling great oaks my home ! But I'm greatful for great oaks .. miss and love y'all!

My time at Great Oaks was a great experience. It was my first time in rehab and it all made sense!! The counselors are doing an amazing job. And my peers were very helpful in my recovery. A great support system for each other. I'd like to thank Amy, Jody and Caty for their great knowledge of how to get people sober and stay sober. A great place to recover. Special thx to Patrick who got me to open up about a lot of things that were inside of me for a long time!

This place saved my life! I love my Great Oaks Family! They taught me so much ! I recommend this place to anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues.

I would highly recommend Great Oaks Recovery Center to anyone searching for a safe place to recover and get educated about your addiction. The staff is highly trained and offer you support thru group sessions and individual counseling.

Great Oaks has changed my life. They don't see you as just a number, they see you as part of a growing family. The counselors provided me with all the tools I needed to get past my addictions and went over and beyond to help with after care. The techs were great and the Nurses super nice. Great memories. I left with a new family. Love you guys

Hi, I've struggled with my addiction and alcoholism almost all of my life. The longest period of time I've ever had sober was in 2016, through AA i strung together 18 months, then I stopped managing my addiction & alcoholism, stopped working my program, and relapsed. I had been out for 4 years or so and finally had the opportunity to get my life back on track and found myself at Great Oaks Recovery Center. I spent 30 days in residential treatment. The grounds are beautiful, the sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. The sense of community was welcoming from the get go. The staff was caring and friendly, from the medical team, the techs, the counselors, the cleaning crew, the kitchen staff, the admin ladies, drivers and the groundskeepers, EVERYONE was amazing. The meals that were prepped everyday were amazing country style home cooked meals, and I honestly don't think we ate anything twice for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was a different story but still hot cooked meals every morning. The days were full from 8am to 8pm everyday with groups, counseling, AA meetings, life skills classes, cowboy church once a week, yoga and meditation once a week, music therapy classes once a week, equine therapy once a week, outside meetings once a week (but it looked like they were planning a second outside meeting which started after my time there). The structure was much needed and totally welcomed. They also have a pool and a weight room. Almost everyone seemed serious about their recovery. We also were given free time from 2 to 4pm everyday. I definitely recommend anyone ready to get help to go to great oaks. They also provided a free pack of cigarettes every 2 days or every other day, something like that. I really felt like i was ready for the next chapter of my life even i left. I did move into sober living and am continuing IOP, but Great Oaks is somewhere i will always treasure and cherish. They definitely prepared me for my new life and still check in with me every week. Thank you great oaks!!! (Not that it matters but for those who are curious, my drug of choice was IV meth and heroin use, and if I can get sober, anyone can.) You'll find hope and serenity at great oaks and in AA! I was there for Halloween which we had a party so the pictures I'm sharing are from the Halloween party. I'm going to keep the names of my peers anonymous but just so you can see the joy on our sober faces and see that we can have sober fun....

Such a wonderful place to go. Great counselors, techs, nurses, cooks and cleaning staff. The residents are very welcoming as well. Great place to recover.

This place was a God-SEND. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I was able to open up and truly get the help I needed. Past Emotional & Mental issues were addressed, which helped me get Clarity & Freedom. Thank you, Great Oaks, for helping me start my Journey.

I went to Great Oaks (affectionately known as GORC) in late December of 2024. For the thirty days I was there I was surrounded by the greatest group of support, education, and therapy. Its been several months and I wouldnt be in the very capable and strong place that I am now without the experience I had. I would recommend GORC to anyone who is struggling with substance abuse and the underlying reasons why.

This is Nick Combre speaking. This was some of the best times of my life. It literally feels like you’ve gone camping out in the woods so to speak. Great counselors and great people in general. Can’t go wrong with this place.

This place has saved me! The friends you meet are Countless! The time you have is Priceless! And the staff you engage with is One of a Kind! Cheers to all at Great Oaks!! Catie and Jodie are 110%!!!!

Great Oaks gave me a safe place to aquire the tools I needed to create a firm foundation for my sobriety and a new way of life. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I would be set on the right path. I recommend Great Oaks to anyone needing additional help to get sober.

Life-Changing Experience at Great Oaks Recovery CenterGreat Oaks Recovery Center in Egypt, Texas, provided me with an incredible foundation for my recovery journey. From the moment I arrived, I was met with a compassionate and professional staff who truly care about each individual’s success. The facility itself is peaceful and well-maintained, creating an environment that fosters healing and self-reflection.The program at Great Oaks is structured but not rigid, allowing for both personal growth and accountability. The therapy sessions—both individual and group—were insightful and provided me with the tools I needed to address my struggles head-on. They also incorporate a strong focus on relapse prevention, emotional wellness, and practical life skills, which have been invaluable in my ongoing recovery.What really set Great Oaks apart for me was the sense of community. The staff, from the counselors to the kitchen team, genuinely care about your well-being, and the connections I made with my peers were life-changing. They emphasize a holistic approach to recovery, including fitness, mindfulness, and even outdoor activities that helped me reconnect with myself.If you or a loved one is seeking a high-quality, supportive, and professional recovery program, I highly recommend Great Oaks. They don’t just help you get sober—they help you build a solid foundation for long-term success.

Great Oaks is by far the best recovery center I have been to.. I have been to rehab 7 times. Amy runs the joint and is incredible. Jody, Katie, Patrick, Dexter, Ike all try their very best to meet your needs. They do a treatment team meeting where you meet with all the staff once a week to monitor your personal progress, how your feeling and what needs to be accomplished before you leave! That to me set them apart from any other treatment center I have been to. Real Rockstars work here. Facility is clean, peaceful and secluded. Outside and inside AA meetings are wonderful. Food is top notch I mean there isn't much else to say. It's more than you need to get sober. I'm so thankful and grateful that I was able to go!

Great Oaks was a great place for me. I didn't have a clue what to expect when I showed up but was quickly surprised how welcome I felt within a couple days. We all have one thing in common, we need help quitting. The techs were great at making you feel at home. Jody and Catie took care of all the insurance details and outpatient details which I am clueless about. Patrick helped me come out of my shell and really start understanding some underlying issues I didn't know I had. The kitchen prepared great meals and I definitely didn't go hungry (still trying to lose weight). I'd like to thank everyone there for giving me the tools to strive on the outside!
