Canton, Texas, is home to Sundown Ranch, a residential rehab center for teenagers ages 13 to 17. The program treats substance use, along with co-occurring mental health disorders, on a 450-acre campus.
Clients keep up with school through a fully accredited academic program. Medical detox is not offered at the Canton campus.
Sundown Ranch staffs the residential program at a 2-to-1 ratio.
The clinical program includes cognitive behavioral therapy along with family therapy and art therapy. Family sessions include parents in therapeutic work.
Discharge planning starts early, so aftercare is set before the teenager leaves.
Sundown Ranch accepts most private insurance plans and Medicaid, and it holds Joint Commission accreditation.
Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.
Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
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 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.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
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.
Individual therapy offers you a confidential space to address the complexities of your drug or alcohol addiction. Your therapist guides these personalized sessions to help develop self awareness and manage stress. This promotes sustained sobriety and overall well being.
A major focus of treatment includes counseling and education enabling family members to share, understand and help in the rehabilitation process. At their Intensive Family Program weekend, specific activities are designed to build relationships and enhance communications. In addition, they combine extensive chemical education, family systems model counseling, multi-family therapy, and experiential work to heal wounds and rebuild bridges.

My 16 year old daughter was on a path of destruction. She had been trying to stop the addictive behaviors on her own but ended up self medicating because of the stress from trying to stop. Her grades were suffering at school and she was pulling away from family. She ran ...
My daughter has been in and out of hospitals/rehab for the last 5 years, and this is the first place that saw through her "fake it to make it" bs and really worked on why she is so unhappy. I can't tell you the difference I have seen in my daughter! They really help the ...
Our 15-year-old son recently spent time at Sundown, and our experience with them has been by far the absolute best. From day one, the communication from everyone on the staff was amazing—they consistently kept us informed about everything taking place and kept our minds at ease. They treated my son like one of their own, and we are especially grateful for Sam Goss. There truly are not enough words to describe Sam’s incredible heart. In a very short time, she truly became part of our family. She genuinely cares for these kids and wants nothing but the best for them. We highly recommend Sundown and Sam to any family looking for exceptional care and support.
I cannot say enough good things about Sundown Ranch and the impact they’ve had on my daughter. ❤️ As a mom, knowing she was surrounded by people who genuinely cared about her and understood her needs means more to me than words can explain. A special thank you to Lacy Dorgan for showing her what healing looks like. I truly believe that made a difference in her journey. Thank you to Dr. Callegan, Teresa, Jason, and the entire staff for their communication, understanding, patience, and care. Everyone did an amazing job making sure her needs were understood and that we were kept informed. I’m so grateful for everyone who played a part in her journey. Thank you for caring about my daughter and helping her through a difficult time. ❤️
I was here at the age of 15. I’m 40. This was the worst experience of my life. I would encourage you to look elsewhere to send the people you’re trying to help. This isn’t help, this is added trauma that will compound and amplify addictions.
I'm 40 year's old now and was court order to this place when I was like 14 or 15 I still have nightmares to this day about being taken from my family so young and I got in trouble at this place for talking to a boy to much. I literally felt like I was in jail and would never be able to send my children to any place like this
