Discovery Point Retreat Reports Strong Symptom-Reduction and Safety Outcomes Across Dallas-Fort Worth Programs

New data on 900+ paired clients shows reductions in depression, anxiety, substance use severity and self-harm risk during treatment.

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Discovery Point Retreat (DPR), a Dallas-Fort Worth-based provider of substance use disorder treatment, today released updated clinical outcomes data covering its Ennis and Waxahachie residential facilities and its Dallas outpatient (PHP/IOP) program. The analysis, based on the Brief Addiction Questionnaire Survey (BAQS), a 31-item clinical assessment modeled on the OQ-45.2 framework and administered at intervals throughout each client’s episode of care, draws on more than 4,900 survey administrations across all three programs, including 905 clients with paired pre- and post-treatment data collected between March and September 2026. Findings were reviewed by Dr. Jerry Vaccaro, M.D., and Lauren Reisman, LMSW.

Key Findings

– Substance use severity fell substantially in residential care: a 38.7% average reduction at Ennis and 35.0% at Waxahachie among clients with paired survey data.
– Self-harm and suicidal ideation scores dropped sharply across every level of care: a 40.4% reduction at Ennis, 65.2% at Waxahachie, and 35.0% at the Dallas outpatient program.
– Depression symptoms fell by nearly 40% in residential treatment (39.9% at Ennis, 37.1% at Waxahachie), with roughly seven in ten paired clients at each facility showing improvement.
– Treatment feedback scores remain exceptionally high network-wide: 96.1% at Ennis, 95.7% at the Dallas outpatient program, and 94.4% at Waxahachie, up from 89.9% in DPR’s June 2026 report.
– DPR’s residential and outpatient programs are used together as a continuum: 255 clients appear in both the Ennis and Dallas datasets in this reporting window, and a comparable overlap exists between Waxahachie and Dallas, reflecting active use of DPR’s step-down pathway from residential to outpatient care.

A Continuum Built Around Sustained Recovery

DPR’s model is built around a phased continuum: detoxification, residential treatment, and structured outpatient step-down care. The data shows clients using that full pathway: hundreds of clients appear across both a residential facility and the Dallas outpatient program within the same reporting window, and Dallas’s own outcomes show meaningful reductions in substance use severity and self-harm risk among clients who continue to engage with treatment there.
