Addiction in Oklahoma is driven by more than one substance, and the state has carried some of the country's hardest losses. In 2024, for the first time in years, the trend bent the other way. That shift is the opening, and treatment is a big part of what makes it last.

A full continuum of care, one clinical team
Recovery rarely follows a straight line, so Great Plains offers every level of care under one roof. You can step up or down as your needs change without switching to a new team, and staying with one team is among the biggest predictors of staying engaged.
Safe, medically supervised withdrawal management around the clock. It's usually the first step, so the deeper work can begin on solid ground.
The live-in core of the program, where the deeper therapeutic work happens with constant support and a steady daily rhythm.
A structured step down from residential care that keeps the clinical intensity while you rebuild life outside the facility.
See all three on our treatment programs page, or let an admissions specialist help you figure out the right starting point.
We assess and treat the mental health conditions that drive substance use, because they're so often part of the picture. Plenty of programs treat this as an optional add-on. We build it into care from the start.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reports that roughly 21.2 million adults live with a co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder. Treating both at once gives recovery a foundation, and it shapes care here from the first assessment.

Evidence-based therapy in a place that feels safe
Sanctuary is a trauma-informed framework that shapes how staff interact with clients, how conflict gets handled, and how safety holds up day to day. Within it, the National Institute on Drug Abuse points to combining behavioral therapy with medical support as the approach with the strongest outcomes.
A typical day follows a structured schedule from morning to evening, and that predictability is part of the treatment. It replaces the chaos of active addiction with a steady rhythm of group sessions, individual counseling, skill-building, and meals at set times.
Morning
Breakfast, check-in, and group therapy to set intentions for the day.
Midday
Individual counseling, skill-building workshops, and a nutritious lunch.
Afternoon
Specialized therapy like CBT, DBT, and EMDR, plus family and process groups.
Evening
Dinner, 12-Step or community meetings, and quiet, restorative downtime.
Comfortable rooms, good meals, and a calm setting make the clinical work possible, because a place that feels safe is where healing starts.
Families recover, too
Addiction affects whole families, so Great Plains weaves family therapy, education, and support into every phase rather than tacking it on at the end. For the spouse or parent reading this: that's deliberate. You have your own footing to find here, and the program is built to give it to you.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out. Specialists answer 24 hours a day, and there's no commitment required to ask questions.
Most major insurance accepted
In most cases, insurance covers a meaningful share of treatment. Great Plains accepts most major insurance plans, and the team can check your benefits for you before you commit to anything.
Under the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, plans that cover behavioral health generally can't limit substance-use care more strictly than medical care. If there are gaps, the team will talk through options honestly.
How to get started
Call or send the form. A specialist asks a few basic questions about the situation, the substances involved, and insurance.
Together you'll determine whether detox, residential care, or partial hospitalization fits best, including admission timing for people traveling across the state.
Medical care is overseen by a physician board-certified in addiction medicine and a Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine.
Start through the admissions page or the contact page, and meet the clinical team here.

Common questions
Residential treatment commonly lasts 30 days or longer, with medical detox usually coming first. The National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that staying in care long enough is one of the strongest predictors of lasting recovery, so the right length is the one matched to your situation.
Most major insurance plans cover residential treatment, and Great Plains can check your benefits for you. Federal parity law generally requires plans that include behavioral health to treat addiction care no less favorably than medical care, so it's worth checking before assuming treatment is out of reach.
Yes. Great Plains serves clients from across Oklahoma, including rural communities and the panhandle where local residential options are limited. The south Tulsa facility is reachable from communities across the state, and for many people the distance from home is part of what helps recovery take hold.
Yes. Treating mental health conditions is the standard here. Every client is assessed and treated for conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma alongside the substance use, because treating both together gives recovery a stronger base.
