Evidence Based Program

Evidence-based treatment is the core of our clinical approach, providing a structured, proven framework that leads to real change. Every man who walks through our doors deserves tools that are tested, effective, and rooted in research. This is how we enhance the recovery experience and create the conditions for lasting transformation.

What Are Evidence Based Practices?

Evidence based practices refers to clinical practices that have been developed through scientific research, refined through real-world use, and validated by strong outcomes. These approaches are adaptable to the needs of each person and allow our team to build tailored treatment plans with measurable goals.

At Legacy Texas, evidence-based treatment is never used in isolation. It is the foundation of our model, working in sync with experiential therapies, daily structure, fitness, mindfulness, and skill development. This is what we mean by true clinical-functional integration.

Our Core Evidence Based Therapy Options

Each man at Legacy Texas receives focused clinical care based on his needs, history, and progress. Here’s a closer look at the evidence based therapy options we use:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps clients identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are holding them back. By teaching practical ways to challenge distorted thinking and take intentional action, CBT gives men the ability to create momentum and stay accountable. It is especially effective for those struggling with anxiety, substance use, and mood disorders.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT builds emotional control, healthy boundaries, and improved communication. For men dealing with emotional intensity, impulsivity, or relationship challenges, DBT provides the structure to respond with discipline rather than reaction. We use DBT skills throughout the program, reinforcing them in group sessions and daily routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT encourages clients to face difficult emotions rather than avoid them. It teaches men to clarify what matters to them and to take committed action that supports those values. ACT is especially powerful for clients who feel stuck in avoidance, fear, or patterns of self-sabotage.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps clients explore different parts of themselves that may be in conflict. Many men carry inner critics, unresolved anger, or hidden fear that can lead to addiction and isolation. IFS gives them the tools to understand and work with those internal dynamics so they can move forward with clarity and strength.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

MBCT combines mindfulness practice with cognitive techniques. It helps men build present-moment awareness, manage stress, and respond with intention. These skills are especially useful in high-pressure moments and are reinforced through our wellness offerings like cold plunge therapy, breathwork, and time in the yurt.

Well-Rounded, Evidence Based Treatment

Evidence-based treatment is part of a larger system here. We integrate clinical work with physical movement, skill-building, leadership development, and peer support. Our program is built to fortify social, emotional, and physical wellbeing, making therapy relevant both in session and in daily life.

Regardless of if it’s a group therapy breakthrough, a lesson learned in the gym, or a moment of self-awareness during a structured challenge, our clients gain clarity and tools that stick. This is how we break down the barriers that keep men from changing and replace them with structure, confidence, and purpose.

Our clients live in a home, not a facility, supported by all-star clinicians who hold them to a higher standard. With small cohorts, every man receives individual attention, connection, and the space to grow.
