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.

Drug Addiction

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

Equine Therapy

Fire Sky Ranch is proud to be offering their clients another amazing service offered at Texas Tech University – regular participation in TTU's Therapeutic Riding Center located at the Texas Tech Equestrian Center. Fire Sky Ranch is working with the Staff at Texas Tech Therapeutic Riding Center to develop experiential equine assisted program specifically for individual struggling with substance abuse. This unique program is another innovative way to reach our clients and build resilience and self-efficacy.

Family Therapy

Over years in working with families, their staff has seen the strain that traveling for a full week of family therapy can place on a family unit. If needed, in-depth and face-to-face therapy family sessions can be held for their clients, but they've also seen the extreme benefits of having family support individualized to a family. Much of this support can be done via regular family case management check-ins - providing links to local resources such as therapists and 12 Step meetings, discussions of effective ways to communicate with your loved one in early recovery, and recommendations for educational materials.

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

They believe in utilizing every activity of daily living in the therapeutic process. They avoid doing anything for their clients that they are capable of doing for themselves. Empowering and teaching is a cornerstone of their program. The peaceful residential setting of Fire Sky Ranch allows clients countless opportunities to learn and implement basic life skills often forgotten during active addiction - or possibly never fully developed for various reasons. Regular therapeutic groups focus on the refinement of Life Skills, while daily household responsibilities and peer accountability at the Fire Sky Ranch facility provide ample real-life application of practical everyday skills.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.
