Typical Day in Treatment
Example Rehab Schedule at Caron Texas
Upon arrival to Caron Texas, each patient will find a daily treatment schedule in their Caron Texas patient handbook. The following is an example rehab schedule which outlines a typical day at the Texas rehab facility.
- 6:30 am – Wake-up
- 7:00 am – Breakfast in the on-site dining facility
- 7:30-8:00 am – Medication & Meditation
Physicians and nurses are an integral part of each patient’s individualized rehab treatment team at Caron Texas. If a patient requires a drug detox program, the Caron Texas Medical Staff will carefully monitor the patient’s progress and administer any required detox medications. The Caron Medical staff is also available to answer any questions or concerns regarding medication symptoms that a patient may be experiencing. Qualified and caring nurses and nurse’s assistants are available to administer prescribed medications throughout the day as needed.
In addition to medication, patients start off every day with a meditation session. Caron Texas believes that meditation sessions help patients outline their addiction recovery goals for the day
- 8:30-10:00 am – Group Counseling
Group counseling sessions (which are gender-separate) are a fundamental part of the Caron Texas addiction treatment program. Group sessions offer a safe environment where patients can share addiction issues and feelings with other patients. Lectures are also scheduled where patients are educated about a wide range of issues relating to chemical abuse and alcohol addiction recovery.

Caron Texas offers a range of exercise and fitness activities as part of the individual treatment plans.

Our exercise plans are tailored to each patient and include activities like tai-chi, yoga and Zumba. More strenuous activities like weight training, aerobic and aquatic workouts are also available.
The Caron Texas rehab facility has a 14,000 square foot gymnasium for organized recreation like volleyball and basketball. Group and individual yoga, Zumba and tai-chi sessions are also located in the Caron Texas gymnasium. Caron Texas also has a workout area for both weight training and aerobic exercise. Experienced staff are available to help patients maximize fitness return with minimum discomfort. Finally, the facility has an outdoor pool for water aerobics and other exercises for those patients desiring non-weight bearing exercise or water resistance workouts.
- 4:45 pm – Dinner at the on-site dining facility & Medications
- 5:30-8:30 pm – Treatment/Step Work & Speaker Meeting
The Caron Texas treatment team works in collaboration with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan. Addictions counselors provide patients with daily assignments that are designed to assist patients in their addiction recovery journey. Frequently these daily assignments are based on 12-Step readings. Patients are provided time to specifically work on their treatment plan assignments.
Addiction recovery patients are also invited to participate in 12-Step speaker meetings throughout the treatment process. Caron Texas recommends that patients continue to attend local 12-Step meetings in their local communities after leaving the addiction recovery treatment program.
