Substance Abuse Treatment at Healing Springs Ranch: A Holistic Path to True Recovery

The ongoing use of alcohol and other drugs can lead to catastrophic effects that impact the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. While establishing sobriety is necessary for healing, true recovery requires individuals to journey a holistic path, one that integrates the mind, body, and spirit together in the treatment and recovery process. At Healing Springs Ranch, our substance abuse treatment combines evidence-based practices with holistic efforts to assist clients in obtaining whole-person wellness. This gives clients the best opportunity to instill lasting healing in sobriety.

Understanding Substance Abuse and Co-Occurring Disorders

What Is Substance Use Disorder?

As explained by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), “Substance use disorder (SUD) is a treatable mental disorder that affects a person’s brain and behavior, leading to their inability to control their use of substances like legal or illegal drugs, alcohol, or medications.” SUD often co-exists with other mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and more. When SUD and other mental health disorders exist in tandem, they are known as co-occurring disorders.

Treating the Underlying Emotional Pain With Mental Health Expertise

The use of alcohol and other drugs is often a form of self-medication. Individuals commonly resort to substance abuse in an attempt to cope with painful thoughts, emotions, and other perpetuating symptoms of unresolved trauma and mental health disorders. At Healing Springs Ranch, we focus on assisting clients in identifying and overcoming underlying emotional pain that triggers continued dysfunctional behavior patterns. 

Our Integrative Approach to Substance Abuse Treatment

Our treatment is rooted in the Integrated Wellness Model™, which stresses four important functions:

  • Addiction as a symptom: Alcohol and drug addictions are symptoms of an underlying problem, such as unresolved emotional pain
  • Identify, release, and resolve: Effective treatment modalities for substance abuse assist individuals in reconnecting to their suppressed experiences and pain
  • Healing emotional pains that drive addictive patterns: Educational and expressive treatment groups provide individuals with an opportunity to become desensitized to painful thoughts and emotions in the present moment
  • Stop addiction substitution: Without treating underlying emotional pain, individuals are at risk of replacing one addiction with another

Integrative Therapy Options: Addressing the Whole Person

At Healing Springs Ranch, we offer a variety of integrative therapy options for clients that invite whole-person healing in treatment, some of which include:

  • Meditation and mindfulness
  • Experiential activities like art therapy
  • Life skills building
  • Emotional transformation therapy (ETT)
  • Nutritional support

Evidence-Based Modalities: From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to Psychodrama

Our treatment programs also incorporate evidence-based treatments for clients, all of which can be customized to meet unique and individualized needs. Some evidence-based modalities we offer include:

  • Psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Brainspotting
  • Somatic experiencing
  • Psychodrama

Relapse Prevention and Lapse Recovery

For many, relapse can be a part of the recovery process. Thus, we also provide clients with ample opportunities for strengthening relapse prevention during treatment and throughout long-term recovery. 

Specialized Substance Abuse Programs at Healing Springs Ranch

Each client enters treatment with different life experiences, preferences, and individualized needs. At Healing Springs Ranch, we provide specialized substance abuse programs, such as:

  • Veterans and gender-specific groups
  • Coordinated medical detox through our partner facility

Many clients struggle to successfully cease alcohol and drug use in early sobriety, as doing so can pose unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening symptoms. For this reason, we coordinate medical detox through a licensed partner facility before treatment begins with us. That stage typically includes:

Medical Supervision and Psychiatry Services

During detox, clinicians at our partner facility manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision. Once clients arrive at the ranch, emotional support and psychiatry services are available to help them work through the mental and emotional symptoms that surface in early recovery. 

Compassionate Care During Drug Withdrawal

Individuals withdrawing from drugs and alcohol experience a host of complicated symptoms. At Healing Springs Ranch, our mental health professionals are committed to providing compassionate care to our clients from the moment they arrive, through rehabilitation and into long-term recovery. By providing a safe and supportive atmosphere for clients to overcome unresolved emotional pain and past trauma, they can have the best chance at establishing and sustaining lasting sobriety in recovery. 

The Role of Community and Connection in Recovery

Therapy and professional support are only pieces of the larger puzzle of effective addiction treatment and recovery. Another piece of this puzzle is social support, specifically creating connections with other sober peers. Research shows that social support can lead to better treatment outcomes for individuals in recovery. 

Support Groups, Peer Connections, and Sober Fun Activities

At Healing Springs Ranch, participation in weekly group therapy and support groups is expected for clients. These groups allow for shared experience and the ability to lean on one another for accountability and support. Additionally, peer connections can be created and maintained in alumni groups and other sober fun activities created by our facility and other recovery communities. 

Family Therapy

Involving the family in treatment can be invaluable for ongoing community and connection in recovery. Fortunately, we offer several opportunities to get the family involved in treatment, including:

  • Family therapy
  • Family weekend program
