Recovery Resource Council (the Council) has been a cornerstone of North Texas since 1946, evolving from a small committee focused on alcoholism education to one of the region’s largest nonprofit mental and behavioral healthcare providers. We have expanded our services to include substance use disorder treatment, mental health services, and support for veterans and the chronically homeless.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to promote wellness and recovery from disorders relating to alcohol, substance use, trauma, and mental health. The Council continues to be a beacon of hope, dedicated to helping individuals and families by providing comprehensive care both in person at our three campus locations and online via telemental health.
