About Meadows Texas
The Meadows Texas occupies a relaxed, amenity-rich campus a short drive east of downtown Dallas in Princeton, where it has built a thirty-day residential program for adults dealing with substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions. The program is part of Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, a fifty-year-old organization recognized for its work in addiction and trauma, and it brings that lineage to a Texas setting that emphasizes Southern hospitality alongside rigorous clinical care.
Treatment begins with medically-managed detoxification when needed, after which residents step into a comprehensive 30-day program that addresses not just substance use but the trauma, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder that frequently underlie it. The clinical team — led by Executive Director Lori Bachman, LCSW, and Medical Director Paul Lee, MD — uses cognitive behavioral therapy alongside trauma-certified modalities, with clinical leader Denise Slemmons among the team members publicly featured in the program’s materials. The on-site Brain Center provides state-of-the-art neurobehavioral equipment for self-regulation work, which residents report eases anxiety, smooths withdrawal symptoms, and improves sleep during treatment.
A signature offering is Unbroken at The Meadows, a specialized evidence-based program designed exclusively for active-duty military, veterans, first responders, and other public safety professionals. The Unbroken track addresses post-traumatic stress injuries and co-occurring substance use disorders in a peer-context environment, recognizing that mission-driven professionals often respond best to programming that respects their language, culture, and operational realities.
Amenities are genuinely part of the clinical experience: a pool, pond, gym, workout room, and walking labyrinth give residents physical outlets and contemplative space. The campus is intentionally phone-free, creating a distraction-free environment where residents can focus on treatment work. The Meadows Texas is accredited by The Joint Commission and accepts private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay.
