Intensive Outpatient: The Arbor Intensive Outpatient Program is a structured substance abuse and mental health program designed to help clients overcome the personal issues and barriers to sobriety while allowing them to remain in their own home. Participants attend 3 evening group sessions and meet one-on-one with a counselor each week, offering the education, counseling, and support that one needs in early recovery. This allows you more independence and the ability to continue everyday activities, such as school, work, and parenting. The program is led by licensed addiction professionals, provides 10 clinical hours per week, and integrates evidence-based practices, 12-step concepts, and experiential modalities for an approach that treats the whole person. Inpatient: The Arbor Inpatient Addiction Treatment Program offers the most intensive program in the Arbor Behavioral Healthcare Continuum of Care. Offering a highly personalized plan of care in a luxurious residential setting, their intent is to provide a comfortable environment away from the distractions of life where one can focus on his or her recovery. The landscape is serene with an urban ranch feel that provides a relaxing, down-to-earth setting. The Ranch is home to a number of cutting edge therapies including their innovative Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program. The Arbor offers wide range of treatment modalities providing an excellent beginning on the path to sobriety as well as physical and mental wellness. Aftercare Support: Developing a continuing care plan is the main focus throughout each person’s time at the Arbor. As mentioned above, healing the mind and soul can take a long time thus it is important to plan ahead for continuous support in sobriety. Residential treatment is just the beginning of the journey. They will work with each individual to develop a custom continuing care plan that is based on several factors; such as the presence of mental health challenges, living conditions, family functioning, and willingness to change. They also include the family in the development of the continuing care plan. The family has much-needed insight on the individual’s challenges that need to be addressed within the plan. There are a number of extended care, sober living, outpatient, aftercare and alumni programs within the Arbor Continuum, allowing for the development of a continuing care plan that best serves the client and their family. Outpatient: Arbor\'s Outpatient Treatment Program (formerly Compass Continuing Care) offers supportive care for those completing inpatient treatment, as well as those who are better suited for outpatient drug or alcohol treatment. Arbor Behavioral Health offers a variety of outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs that support individuals as they progress on the path to long-term sobriety. The Arbor Supportive Outpatient Program generally serves as a step down program for those who complete an IOP, or for those already participating in several other resources for support, such as case management, sober living, and other therapy groups. We recommend IOP prior to enrolling in SOP, however we will conduct a thorough assessment to determine which program may best fit your particular needs. Sober Living Homes: Arbor Sober Living (formerly Hope Harbor Sober Living) offers those new to recovery a safe and supportive place to live. Research done by the National Institute of Health has found that individuals who live in a sober living home have better long term outcomes than those of people who don’t have access to an environment that supports sustained recovery. Their admissions screening process and commitment to providing a Continuum of Care ensures that their residents are serious about the remaining on the path to recovery. Arbor Sober Living is open to those who have completed a primary treatment program and at least 30 days of sobriety. The Residents of their sober living homes ease into a healthy lifestyle while experiencing real life responsibilities, social norms, and gaining valuable work and living skills. At the same time, life in sober living keeps distractions to a minimum, ensuring that residents stay focused on their path towards sober, independent living. Participants reinforce the lessons and habits learned in treatment. Friendships are formed, creating a personal support network of others supporting each other’s sobriety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one\'s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient\'s own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse. Creative Arts Therapy: Art therapy is exactly what it sounds like, using the arts to help people resolve inner conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight. Art therapy uses the visual arts and creative process to improve the psychological health, cognitive abilities, and sensory-motor functions for the individual. It is action-oriented and experience-based, allowing the individual to uncover feelings and thoughts that lead to addiction, as well as a way to deal with them safely. Thus art therapy is a beneficial part of the treatment plan. Art therapy allows the person look inside themselves and contemplate the nature and causes of their addiction. This helps in various ways. It may uncover why they suffer from addiction. More importantly, participation in the arts is a healthy outlet for dealing with the emotions that addiction stems from. Equine Therapy: One trait common to the majority of individuals who enter treatment at The Arbor are disconnected from emotions and other internal aspects of themselves. This disconnection stems from various painful life experiences and challenges. Something as simple as identifying how they feel at a particular moment can be a struggle. Their Equine Assisted Therapy program helps individuals reconnect with their inner self and deal with stressful emotions in a healthy fashion. It is one of the leading edge therapies available to Arbor Behavioral Healthcare clients. Their program utilizes the innate gentleness and natural instincts of horses to help our clients reconnect to authenticity, intimacy, communication, and trust. Experiential Therapy: Research has shown that a regular fitness program doesn’t just benefit the body; it also paves the way for a healthier mind. Mental health, cognitive function, and even mood are all improved by incorporating an exercise routine. Long term sobriety is supported when the individual has both a healthy mind and a healthy body. Their clients participate in fitness instruction up to five times weekly. By the time they are ready to leave their program, they will have experienced the positive benefits of fitness in their daily lives. Additionally, their staff works with each client to continue to include regular exercise into their lives as part of their discharge and continuing care plan. Guests at The Arbor enjoy instructor-led fitness classes 3 times a week for weight training and 2 times per week for yoga. Available recreational activities include: basketball, volleyball, Meditation, Crossfit as well as runs or walks on their 67 acre, Texas Hill Country ranch. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist\'s finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed. Family Therapy: The Arbor Family Program is designed to address the needs of the family of the alcoholic/drug addict as they navigate the path to sobriety and healthy living. It is not uncommon for there to be a complete breakdown of communication between the suffering addict and their family. Their family program helps bridge this gap and get the entire family moving towards a healthy direction. Their Family Program is a combination of educational and therapeutic modalities. It is a three and a half day intensive program offered monthly, and is ideal for family members, partners, and significant others affected by addiction. It is lead and directed by masters-level clinicians, and is an experiential program which includes equine assisted therapy, group interaction, individual sessions and other therapeutic activities. Fitness Therapy: Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits. Group Therapy: Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members. Individual Therapy: In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. Life Skills: Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety. Motivational Interviewing: Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely. Nicotine Replacement Therapy: Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Nutrition Therapy: The disease of addiction takes it toll on the individual’s mind, spirit, relationships and body. The journey to sobriety is a journey towards good health. The effects of nutrition and a healthy diet on the body is well known. What is often not considered is that proper nutrition is an important part of the healing process of addiction treatment. Clients in their residential programs eat on site and are taught about nutrition and food preparation. Special dietary needs, such as allergies, can be accommodated. Meals are prepared for residents of The Arbor men’s and women’s programs. Each meal is balanced for nutrition, healing properties and taste. Trauma Therapy: Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client\'s past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Alcoholism: The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings. Dual Diagnosis: It is common for those suffering from addiction to also have other mental disorders. These individuals suffer from a dual diagnosis. In many cases, individuals have been abusing alcohol, drugs or both in order to medicate the symptoms of other co-occurring disorders. They utilize several strategies to treat clients with co-occurring disorders including pharmacotherapies, mindfulness meditation, nutrition, exercise, yoga, equine therapy (Natural Lifemanship), EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral, and 12-step recovery. Mental Health and Substance Abuse: A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track. Opioid Addiction: Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
