About Sante Center for Healing
Sante Center for Healing has operated on its ‘Hill’ campus in Argyle, Texas since 1996, building a reputation as one of North Texas’s established residential addiction treatment programs. The 30-year-old organization offers an integrated continuum that begins with intake assessment and medical detox, moves through residential treatment, and steps down to an intensive outpatient program and outpatient aftercare. Medication-assisted treatment is available where clinically indicated.
Clinically, Sante describes itself as ‘theoretically sound and technically eclectic.’ The program draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR for trauma processing, psychodrama, experiential therapy, family therapy, and shame resiliency work, layered on a 12-step foundation. Holistic and trauma-focused interventions complement individual and group therapy, and a dedicated family program engages loved ones in the recovery process.
Sante treats a broad range of substance use issues, including alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, marijuana, and prescription opioids, alongside common co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, disordered eating, and compulsive sexual behavior. Specialty programming for professionals — including licensed and credentialed individuals whose recovery intersects with monitoring requirements — is a longstanding focus, alongside gender-specific tracks for men and women.
Leadership is anchored by CEO and Co-Owner Sam Slaton, M.Ed., LPC-S, MBA, whose philosophy emphasizes individualized care across a multi-disciplinary medical and therapeutic team. Many admissions come from clinical referrals or alumni networks. Prospective patients and family members can reach the admissions team at (866) 442-1142 or (866) 238-3154 to discuss assessments and verify benefits.
