Catalyst Behavioral Services, originally called Drug Recovery, Inc., was founded in 1973 by a group of recovering alcoholics and drug addicts to help others who wanted to stop using drugs and alcohol. The original structure of the facility was a walk-in, non-medical non-profit clinic. In the years since its inception, Catalyst Behavioral Services has grown to encompass programs for court-ordered behavior modification, residential treatment facilities and an outpatient clinic.

Catalyst Behavioral Services’ purpose is to; help drug users and addicts recognize, control, and overcome their drug problem enabling them to function properly and productively in society; provide personnel and facilities for individual and group counseling of drug users and addicts; coordinate the sundry related community resources necessary to accomplish the restoration and integration of these drug users and addicts into society, and; promote human research in areas of social and personal adjustment. At any moment in any day, Catalyst Behavioral Services is helping hundreds of people gain control over their substance abuse problems and learn to live more productive lives.

Catalyst Behavioral Services continues the vision and purpose of its originators by providing quality care and treatment at reasonable prices. Providing substance abuse treatment is not without cost, but no one is turned away because of inability to pay as long as space is available. While the corporate world might call this a recipe for disaster, Catalyst Behavioral Services has not only maintained program solvency, but has actually expanded services and created new programs.

In recent years, Catalyst Behavioral Services has also placed a great importance on certification for our counselors. All programs housed under the Catalyst family name are certified by the Oklahoma Department of Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Services (CARF).
