At Great Plains Recovery Center in Tulsa, we provide comprehensive residential treatment for individuals throughout Oklahoma who are struggling with substance use disorders. Our inpatient program offers a structured, supportive environment where clients can focus entirely on their recovery journey, free from the distractions and triggers of everyday life.
Understanding Residential Treatment
Residential treatment, also known as inpatient care, is a critical step toward overcoming addiction. At our Tulsa facility, we offer a sanctuary—a controlled and secure setting where your recovery journey is our primary concern, devoid of external distractions and triggers that could impede progress.
Structure and Duration
Our residential program typically ranges from 30 to 90 days, depending on individual needs and progress. Each day follows a carefully designed schedule that includes:
- Group therapy sessions (morning and afternoon)
- Individual counseling appointments
- Educational workshops about addiction and recovery
- Structured meals
- Community support meetings, including 12-Step meetings
- Scheduled recreational and rest periods
This structured environment helps clients develop healthy routines while providing comprehensive treatment that addresses all aspects of addiction.

The Great Plains Recovery Difference for Oklahomans
What sets our program apart is our deep understanding of Oklahoma’s unique addiction challenges and cultural contexts:
- Oklahoma-Focused Care: We understand the specific substance use trends affecting our state, from prescription opioid issues to methamphetamine challenges in rural areas
- Cultural Competence: Our treatment approaches incorporate awareness of Oklahoma’s diverse cultural contexts, including Native American, rural, and urban populations
- Trauma-Informed Care: Recognizing Oklahoma’s high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), our program specifically addresses trauma as a root cause of addiction
- Local Connections: We maintain strong relationships with Oklahoma healthcare providers, court systems, and community resources
Residential vs. Outpatient Treatment: Making the Right Choice
While outpatient treatment allows clients to maintain daily responsibilities, residential treatment offers distinct advantages for many Oklahomans:
Benefits of Residential Treatment
- Immersive Healing Environment: Complete focus on recovery without external distractions
- 24/7 Support: Continuous access to professional care during vulnerable early recovery
- Removal from Triggers: Physical separation from environments associated with substance use
- Peer Community: Development of supportive relationships with others on similar journeys
- Structured Routine: Establishment of healthy daily patterns that support long-term recovery
- Comprehensive Care: Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions
- Reduced Relapse Risk: Higher completion rates and better early recovery outcomes compared to outpatient options
For many, particularly those with severe addiction, limited support systems, or unsuccessful previous treatment attempts, residential treatment provides the intensity and structure needed for successful recovery.
Admissions Process and Financial Considerations
Getting Started on Your Recovery Journey
Beginning treatment at Great Plains Recovery Center involves several straightforward steps:
- Initial Contact: Call our admissions team at 844-918-3518 for a confidential assessment

- Pre-Admission Assessment: A clinical evaluation to determine appropriate level of care

Insurance Coverage for Oklahoma Residents
We work with most major insurance providers serving Oklahoma. For SoonerCare members, we can help navigate available benefits and supplemental coverage options or payment arrangements for services not fully covered.
Private Payment Options
For those without insurance or preferring private payment, we offer:
- Transparent fee structures
- Sliding scale options based on financial need
- Payment plans to make treatment more accessible
- Assistance exploring financing options
Our financial counselors work with each client to find the most manageable payment solution, ensuring that financial concerns don’t prevent access to needed treatment.
Aftercare Planning and Ongoing Support
Recovery doesn’t end when residential treatment concludes. Our comprehensive aftercare planning ensures continuing support for Oklahoma residents:
- Step-Down Care Options: Recommendations for appropriate levels of continuing care, including PHP, IOP, or outpatient services
- Recovery Housing Referrals: Connections to sober living options throughout Oklahoma

- Recovery Coaching: Optional ongoing individual support from recovery coaches
- Alumni Community: Access to our active alumni network and events
- Digital Recovery Support: Mobile apps and online resources for continued guidance
For clients returning to rural areas with limited resources, we place special emphasis on developing sustainable support plans that account for geographic challenges.
Incorporating Oklahoma Cultural Contexts
We recognize that effective treatment must acknowledge the cultural contexts that shape our clients’ experiences:
- Rural Values and Challenges: Understanding the self-reliance, privacy concerns, and resource limitations common in rural Oklahoma communities
- Native American Heritage: Respecting and incorporating traditional healing practices when appropriate for Native clients
- Faith Communities: Honoring the importance of spiritual beliefs in many Oklahomans’ lives and recovery journeys
- Industry-Specific Pressures: Addressing unique challenges faced by those in oil/gas, agriculture, and other key Oklahoma industries
Our treatment approaches are sensitive to these contexts while maintaining clinical excellence and evidence-based practices.
Transitioning to Lower Levels of Care
As clients progress through residential treatment, we begin preparing for the transition to less intensive levels of care:
- Transition Assessment: Evaluating readiness for less structured environments
- Gradual Independence: Increasing personal responsibility while still in the supportive residential setting
- Community Integration: Supervised community outings to practice recovery skills in real-world settings
- Aftercare Planning: Collaborative development of post-residential support plans
- Warm Hand-offs: Direct connections to next-level providers rather than simple referrals
- Follow-up Support: Scheduled check-ins during the critical early transition period
This gradual, supported transition helps bridge the gap between intensive residential care and independent recovery management.
