Over a year ago, Signature Healthcare Services added to their family of healthcare facilities with a luxury inpatient drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation center. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch is located just outside of Austin, Texas on the original Briarpatch Ranch–and ideal setting for adults in recovery.
The ranch seamlessly transitioned into a residential treatment facility for both men and women who struggle with substance use disorders. It was a dramatic refurbishment of a historic 15,000-square-foot home with several outbuildings on the picturesque 200-acre working cattle ranch. The property was designed for healing with beautiful furnishings and luxury amenities.
Why Choose Plum Creek Recovery Ranch
The main focus of the staff at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch is restoring hope in our residents by treating the mind, body, and spirit. We do this through individualized, integrative, and evidence-based treatment. Our mission is rooted in creating the best possible environment for those seeking a healthier life in recovery.
How We Treat Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Drug and alcohol addiction are complex disorders that affect the mind and the body, so the need for professional help is very common. It’s often the only way to overcome a substance use disorder.
Addiction can affect every aspect of an individual’s life from work, school, family, friends, and community. Left untreated, it can result in incarceration, negative health outcomes, and people’s lives.
There are many options for drug addiction treatment. Everyone’s journey is unique to their condition and lived experiences. Therefore, our treatment plans are uniquely tailored to achieve the best possible outcome for each individual. The two options offered at our rehabilitation center are inpatient and outpatient treatment services.
Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment for Drug Addiction
Inpatient or residential treatment involves staying overnight at a facility with medical support for several days or weeks. Outpatient treatment involves visiting a rehab facility on a daily or weekly basis for programing like support groups, individual counseling, and education classes.
Plum Creek Recovery Ranch is an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center offering outpatient or aftercare services to those who’ve participated in our inpatient program.
We offer a comprehensive assessment upon admission that covers all of the mental, behavioral, and physical aspects of a person’s health as well as current conditions, environments, history, family information, and more. Our assessment allows us to create an individualized treatment plan that has identifiable progress goals with treatment objectives.
Inpatient or residential treatment creates a comprehensive therapeutic environment. It’s often the safest, healthiest place for someone to learn to manage and overcome drugs or alcohol because they can detach from the distractions of their everyday life.
Outpatient treatment can be used as the next step in the recovery process. After a client has detoxed and is equipped with the right tools from our inpatient program, outpatient services are a great way to maintain a healthy, sober life through continued support.
Is Residential Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Addiction Effective?
Residential treatment offers the client a private, monitored setting that allows for improvement in a programmed atmosphere. It’s known to be the most successful treatment option because clients can readily process the psychological, social, and behavioral problems associated with addiction as well as address triggers that can cause relapse.
Choosing the Right Drug Addiction Treatment Program for You or a Loved One
If you’ve ever researched drug or alcohol addiction treatment programs before, you were probably overwhelmed by the response to your search. Given the enormous destructive ramifications of addiction, you want to make a decision that gives you the very best chance for a positive outcome for you or your loved one.
