About The Arbor Behavioral Healthcare

The Arbor Behavioral Healthcare in the Austin, Texas, area has residential substance abuse treatment programs for men and women over the age of 18. There is a treatment program specifically for young adults as well. They have intensive outpatient (IOP), general outpatient (OP), and aftercare programs available to help individuals transition from residential treatment to their community and life at home. The Arbor treats polysubstance issues and dual disorders in a gender accepting and responsive program setting where 12 Step philosophies are introduced to clients so they may learn the skills needed to be successful in treatment and life.

Treatment includes many aspects of any good substance abuse program but also has some special programs that aren’t available everywhere. The main two are equine therapy and art therapy programs. Nutritional training, exercise, yoga and mindfulness meditation are used to help clients get in touch with themselves and focus on healing the body and soul.

In terms of counseling, traditional individual, group, and family therapy are used in combination with the other creative and expressive therapies used. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and 12 Step peer support programs are used to help give individuals the treatment, support and healing they need to be successful in recovery.

Length of stay in the residential program varies depending on the individual’s situation, treatment needs, and life responsibilities. Once a client completes residential treatment, they will either enter intensive outpatient or regular outpatient treatment. Some will be offered transitional housing to help them reintegrate into society and learn to live a sober life in a new, supportive environment rather than returning to the situation that led them to treatment in the first place.

The Arbor has really positive reviews online from clients and staff. They’re credited with saving lives, improving quality of life, and giving people a fresh start with compassionate and accepting staff who treated clients in professional and empathetic ways.

They accept most major insurance plans. Be sure to check with your personal health insurance provider to ensure you know exactly what is covered by insurance and if you will be financially responsible for any associated costs.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Arbor's Outpatient Treatment Program (formerly Compass Continuing Care) offers supportive care for those completing inpatient treatment, as well as those who are better suited for outpatient drug or alcohol treatment. Arbor Behavioral Health offers a variety of outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs that support individuals as they progress on the path to long-term sobriety. The Arbor Supportive Outpatient Program generally serves as a step down program for those who complete an IOP, or for those already participating in several other resources for support, such as case management, sober living, and other therapy groups. We recommend IOP prior to enrolling in SOP, however we will conduct a thorough assessment to determine which program may best fit your particular needs.

inpatient iconInpatient

The Arbor Inpatient Addiction Treatment Program offers the most intensive program in the Arbor Behavioral Healthcare Continuum of Care. Offering a highly personalized plan of care in a luxurious residential setting, their intent is to provide a comfortable environment away from the distractions of life where one can focus on his or her recovery. The landscape is serene with an urban ranch feel that provides a relaxing, down-to-earth setting. The Ranch is home to a number of cutting edge therapies including their innovative Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program. The Arbor offers wide range of treatment modalities providing an excellent beginning on the path to sobriety as well as physical and mental wellness.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

The Arbor Intensive Outpatient Program is a structured substance abuse and mental health program designed to help clients overcome the personal issues and barriers to sobriety while allowing them to remain in their own home. Participants attend 3 evening group sessions and meet one-on-one with a counselor each week, offering the education, counseling, and support that one needs in early recovery. This allows you more independence and the ability to continue everyday activities, such as school, work, and parenting. The program is led by licensed addiction professionals, provides 10 clinical hours per week, and integrates evidence-based practices, 12-step concepts, and experiential modalities for an approach that treats the whole person.

aftercare iconAftercare

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 icon12-Step

All of the treatment programs at Arbor Behavioral Healthcare center around the 12-Step Approach to addiction recovery. 12-Step Recovery has been proven successful for more than 80 years. The 12-Step approach began in the 1930s with Alcoholics Anonymous. Over the years, this approach has proven successful for many different addictive behaviors. So much so the steps are often referred to as the “12 steps to freedom” from addiction.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Arbor Sober Living (formerly Hope Harbor Sober Living) offers those new to recovery a safe and supportive place to live. Research done by the National Institute of Health has found that individuals who live in a sober living home have better long term outcomes than those of people who don’t have access to an environment that supports sustained recovery. Their admissions screening process and commitment to providing a Continuum of Care ensures that their residents are serious about the remaining on the path to recovery. Arbor Sober Living is open to those who have completed a primary treatment program and at least 30 days of sobriety. The Residents of their sober living homes ease into a healthy lifestyle while experiencing real life responsibilities, social norms, and gaining valuable work and living skills. At the same time, life in sober living keeps distractions to a minimum, ensuring that residents stay focused on their path towards sober, independent living. Participants reinforce the lessons and habits learned in treatment. Friendships are formed, creating a personal support network of others supporting each other’s sobriety.

Shield icon Insurance

Our Policy: The Arbor Behavioral Healthcare works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

It is common for those suffering from addiction to also have other mental disorders. These individuals suffer from a dual diagnosis. In many cases, individuals have been abusing alcohol, drugs or both in order to medicate the symptoms of other co-occurring disorders. They utilize several strategies to treat clients with co-occurring disorders including pharmacotherapies, mindfulness meditation, nutrition, exercise, yoga, equine therapy (Natural Lifemanship), EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral, and 12-step recovery.

mental-health iconMental 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.

opium iconOpioid 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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Couples therapy helps couples learn to control emotions, trust each other, and communicate more effectively. It can be useful for short term intervention for a specific issue or for working on the relationship long term.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

The Arbor Family Program is designed to address the needs of the family of the alcoholic/drug addict as they navigate the path to sobriety and healthy living. It is not uncommon for there to be a complete breakdown of communication between the suffering addict and their family. Their family program helps bridge this gap and get the entire family moving towards a healthy direction. Their Family Program is a combination of educational and therapeutic modalities. It is a three and a half day intensive program offered monthly, and is ideal for family members, partners, and significant others affected by addiction. It is lead and directed by masters-level clinicians, and is an experiential program which includes equine assisted therapy, group interaction, individual sessions and other therapeutic activities.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

Art therapy is exactly what it sounds like, using the arts to help people resolve inner conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight. Art therapy uses the visual arts and creative process to improve the psychological health, cognitive abilities, and sensory-motor functions for the individual. It is action-oriented and experience-based, allowing the individual to uncover feelings and thoughts that lead to addiction, as well as a way to deal with them safely. Thus art therapy is a beneficial part of the treatment plan. Art therapy allows the person look inside themselves and contemplate the nature and causes of their addiction. This helps in various ways. It may uncover why they suffer from addiction. More importantly, participation in the arts is a healthy outlet for dealing with the emotions that addiction stems from.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Research has shown that a regular fitness program doesn’t just benefit the body; it also paves the way for a healthier mind. Mental health, cognitive function, and even mood are all improved by incorporating an exercise routine. Long term sobriety is supported when the individual has both a healthy mind and a healthy body. Their clients participate in fitness instruction up to five times weekly. By the time they are ready to leave their program, they will have experienced the positive benefits of fitness in their daily lives. Additionally, their staff works with each client to continue to include regular exercise into their lives as part of their discharge and continuing care plan. Guests at The Arbor enjoy instructor-led fitness classes 3 times a week for weight training and 2 times per week for yoga. Available recreational activities include: basketball, volleyball, Meditation, Crossfit as well as runs or walks on their 67 acre, Texas Hill Country ranch.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

My daughter was a patient at the Arbor. While my daughter was there we both treated with the highest level of professionalism and respect. I thought this was very important because addiction is a family affair. After 90 days she was accepted into the continuum of care house ... Read More

I was impressed by the content of the treatment program and the staff. Not only does your loved one get the help they need, but the family is supported and helped as well. I felt cared for and just as important as my family member in treatment. Counseling and education are key in helping the whole family. Also, the area the facility is in, is beautiful and peaceful.

I am solely talking about intake process. Jacob was absolutely amazing in trying to assist me. He went over and beyond my expectations. It didn't work out but not from a lack of effort on his part. So huge shout out to Jacob. Thank you so much even though it didn't work out!

The Arbor helped our daughter with some coping skills. The staff was very helpful. Make sure to ask the Sober Living fees as well as the IOP fees. They were expensive. Then they tell the family about gifting the rent until the client gets a job. That part was not mentioned at the family meeting.

During my 34-day stay at The Arbor for prescription medication addiction treatment, I encountered both commendable aspects and areas needing improvement. The medical and nursing staff were outstanding, offering attentive and compassionate care.However, there were notable concerns. A significant issue was the need for self-advocacy, especially highlighted by my experience with a tooth infection. My pain was initially dismissed by a staff member, which necessitated assertive action on my part to receive appropriate dental care. To add insult to injury, this staff member even threatened to have me moved out of the Hope House (a privilege given to those who are actively engaged in their treatment, I was told) for daring to suggest I sleep in an extra hour because I stayed up all night due to the pain. However I didn t take it too personally, that s probably not the first time they ve heard the tooth ploy to go on a field trip; nonetheless I certainly didn t feel seen or heard. I had to all but threaten to ACA (discharge prematurely) to get a dentist appointment scheduled immediately. Luckily, Tamara is a saint and helped me schedule an emergency dentist appointment on a Sunday evening, so it ended up getting resolved once I managed to escalate the priority. This incident underlines the importance of patients actively advocating for their health needs within the facility. My situation was made more frustrating upon overhearing this staff member complain about the inconvenience of arranging a dental appointment on a Sunday. Their lack of empathy was disheartening, considering the serious nature of the infection.A notable positive was Dr. Bryan, whose success as a fellow ADHD individual inspired me to pursue a PHD. His influence was a highlight of my stay.There were several other incidents that cast a shadow on my overall experience. One such instance involved a counselor, Bobby, who is generally great at his job but made an inaccurate judgment about my behavior in a group session. He perceived me as being uncomfortable, whereas I was actually having one of the best days there. This misinterpretation was used as a rationale for extending my stay, which I found baffling.Another critical point emerged late in my stay. On the 33rd day, I was informed that the facility typically offers a 30-day program because that s the duration most insurances agree to cover, not because they feel like it s a reasonable time frame to provide treatment. This was unexpected and not communicated earlier. While the Arbor s website advertises a 30-day treatment, the intention often seems to extend beyond this period. This practice of potentially prolonging treatment durations was not made clear at the outset, which led to a last-minute suggestion to extend my stay conflicting with my departure plans (plans which I only ever discussed on a call with an Arbor counselor present, not in the clandestine manner they seemed to suggest I used). To further illustrate this point, I have no clue what IOP even is, I was never even pitched the idea and had it explained to me, the extent of my knowledge was gained through social osmosis.Through this experience, one of the most valuable skills I learned at The Arbor was the use of an assertive voice clearly stating needs and establishing personal boundaries.In conclusion, The Arbor has a capable medical team and imparts important life skills. However, prospective patients should be vigilant in advocating for themselves, particularly regarding treatment length and discharge planning. Understanding the facility s approach to treatment duration is crucial, as it might not align with initial expectations set by their advertising.

The Arbor in my opinion is the finest there is. The staff truly cares about every client and the fellowship that I experienced has impacted my life in ways I never thought possible. It was the greatest gift I have ever been given and forever will be. Because of it, I have found my purpose and look forward to living a full life.

I am eternally grateful for The Abor for giving me my life back, or more accurately, equipping me with the ability to gain it back for myself.I cannot recommend MORE HIGHLY. As a healthcare provider with a background in clinical management, I had very high expectations, and they exceeded the mark at every pass. It is a top-notch facility with compassionate and dedicated staff who are committed to helping people achieve sobriety and live healthy, fulfilling lives.I was initially hesitant to seek treatment for my addiction, but I am beyond grateful that I did. The staff at Arbor made me feel welcome and supported from the moment I called admissions. They took the time to understand my unique situation and develop a personalized treatment plan that met my needs.What I most respect about The Arbor is how comprehensive and evidence based their approach is, and that it covers all aspects of addiction recovery. I learned about the underlying causes of my addiction, how to cope with triggers, how to develop healthy coping mechanisms and how to address my past unhealed trauma. I also participated in individual, group, and family therapy, which helped me to work through my emotional challenges, build a support network, utilize acquired tools, and begin to repair damage of a life of addiction.Additional therapeutic components of the program offered were: equine therapy, EMDR, yoga, meditation, workouts & self defense- led by professional trainer, and art experiential processing. The San Gabriel river is STUN.NING. and the grounds are excellently maintained- a beautiful backdrop for such impactful inner work. The food is also therapeutic, mainly bc it is delicious(!), but also because this chef led team is nurturing and able to accommodate dietary restrictions/ allergies, and thoughtfully prepare menus based specifically on the needs of those detoxing from alcohol and/or drugs.I continued my treatment in IOP and sober living, and am adamant that this aftercare and support, after leaving residential, were quintessential in my sobriety and recovery journey.Overall, I had an incredibly positive experience at The Arbor, quite literally LIFE CHANGING. I am now sober, living a happy and healthy life. I am grateful to every single person at The Arbor for helping me to achieve my recovery goals.
