Treatment for Men at Healing Springs Ranch

Why many men wait to get help

Many men grow up learning to handle things alone, keep emotions private and push through. Those habits can keep a career or a family running for years while the problem underneath gets worse. By the time many men reach out, they have tried to quit on their own more than once, and they are carrying a great deal of pressure and shame about needing help at all.

At Healing Springs Ranch, we see drinking, drug use and other compulsive behavior as a way of getting relief from emotional pain. Treatment works on that pain, not only on the behavior, so that recovery holds.

What men’s process groups are for

Men’s process groups are small, clinician-led groups made up only of men. Clients bring whatever they need to. Themes that come up often include:

• Pressure to provide, perform and stay in control
• Anger, and the feelings it tends to cover, such as grief, fear and shame
• Relationships, marriage and fatherhood
• Identity tied to work, and what happens when that starts to slip
• Trauma that has never been talked about

Hearing other men put words to the same struggles is often the moment that something shifts. Men’s groups meet weekly.

Beyond the group

Men’s process groups are one part of an individualized treatment plan that includes:

• Two to three individual therapy sessions a week with master’s-level clinicians
• Trauma resolution using approaches such as EMDR and Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT)
• Feelings in Training (FIT), which helps clients who struggle with dysregulated anger learn to release and regulate emotion safely (see anger and addiction)
• Cognitive therapy, psychodrama, somatic processing and mind/body groups
• Family involvement through our Family Program

Professionals, executives and business owners can read about how we handle work, privacy and leave in Executive Treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a men-only program?

No. Healing Springs Ranch is a co-ed residential program. Men take part in men’s process groups alongside individual therapy and groups shared with all clients. Learn more about our gender-specific process groups.

What does Healing Springs Ranch treat?

We treat addiction, mental health conditions and trauma, separately or together, including complex co-occurring diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI/PTSD) and bipolar disorder alongside substance use.

I have never talked about this with anyone. Will I have to talk in front of a group?

No one is forced to share. Many men start by listening. Your individual therapist will also work with you one-on-one, two to three times a week.

Do you provide detox?

Not on site. When medically supervised detox is needed, our admissions team coordinates it through a licensed partner facility, and admission to the ranch follows once you are stable.

Do you accept private pay and insurance?

Yes, both. We welcome private-pay clients and offer payment plans. We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Health Choice, Magellan and Employers Health Network, and work with out-of-network benefits. We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
