Why Real Deal Built so recovery is something people can actually reach
Real Deal was founded to focus on mental-health and substance-abuse treatment while keeping the housing side affordable enough that anyone who deserves recovery can actually finish it. What the industry was offering adults instead: luxury rehabs at $30,000 a month, sober living at $3,000 a bed, and outpatient programs that expected you to quit your job to attend. We built the opposite of that — psychiatrist-led outpatient care paired with $500/month sober living, running under one clinical plan.
Direct answer
Real Deal was founded to make mental-health and substance-abuse treatment reachable for adults who need it: psychiatrist-led outpatient care paired with $500/month sober living, so the housing side does not price people out of finishing treatment.
- Sober living: $500/month
- Outpatient covered by most insurance
- Psychiatrist-led, dual-diagnosis by default
- Statewide Texas

The three things we do differently
1. Outpatient that respects your life. PHP and IOP with morning and evening tracks so you don’t have to disappear for 30 days to get real treatment.
2. Sober living at $500 a month. Industry average is $1,000–$3,000. We keep it at $500 because affordable housing paired with insurance-covered treatment is the only combination that works long enough to actually change something.
3. Lived experience where it matters. Many of the people you’ll work with here — admissions reps, sober living operators, house staff, and several clinicians — are in recovery themselves. The rest were hired because they know how to work with people who are. It shows up in how they answer the phone and how they run the groups.

Real Deal questions
Yes. Real Deal Recovery is a licensed outpatient behavioral health provider with psychiatric staff and evidence-based programming.
Parker Cates. He owns the company and built it after being frustrated by how expensive and disjointed sober living and outpatient care had become. He is not a clinician; the clinical team is led by Sharaya Gallozzi (Chief Clinical Officer) and Matthew Cross (Clinical Director).
Yes. Same ownership, coordinated care. Sober living is housing at $500 a month; outpatient rehab is the treatment. They pair on purpose.
Because paired with insurance-covered outpatient treatment, that pricing makes a 3–4 month stay realistic for most working adults. Industry pricing at $1,500–$3,000 forces people out before treatment finishes.
