Charlie’s Place, located on IH-37 and McBride Lane in Corpus Christi, Texas, has provided drug and alcohol rehabilitation for thousands since 1965.

Charlie’s Place has dramatically helped thousands of addicts turn their lives around. We’re a place for successfully rebuilding broken lives.

Throughout its 44-year history, Charlie’s Place has grown from one small structure to its present center that encompasses several acres. Our facility is situated in a renovated former hotel and includes a cafeteria, counseling rooms, staff offices, living quarters for clients, a recreation center and a large landscaped central courtyard. This quiet, peaceful and private environment is an ideal haven for the personal care and services provided here.

In this setting, the staff at Charlie’s Place works with clients to:

  • help them understand their addictions
  • teach them how to rebuild their lives
  • give them the skills needed to live a sober life

Our location is far enough away to provide the privacy needed for recovery, yet is convenient to the entire Coastal Bend.

Founded in 1965, The Coastal Bend Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Center quickly became known as “Charlie’s Place,” due to the selfless and caring hands of one man, Charlie Acklen. He devoted his life to helping those unable to help themselves.

Joined by others who wanted to assist or who had themselves been helped, Charlie’s Place soon became known for working miracles in the lives of their clients … at a low cost per client.

Charlie’s Place began as a small 24-hour alcoholic’s halfway house with a 12-step program. Through the years it has become a professional and comprehensive treatment center.
