Levels of Care
Intensive 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.
Inpatient
Arbor Extended Care (formerly Hope Harbor) is designed to provide clients leaving rehabs and entering recovery with a linkage point between inpatient treatment and traditional sober living. This program is also ideal for someone who has had a period of sobriety but has relapsed for a short period. We provide a full 12-step completion process, access to excellent therapeutic resources, and a specific focus on life skills. Our two separate gender-specific programs not only function to fill a needed niche for clients requiring a higher level of care than outpatient care provides. This program is also a more budget-friendly alternative to inpatient treatment.
12-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.
Aftercare Support
Developing a continuing care plan is the main focus throughout each person’s time at the Arbor. As mentioned above, healing the mind and soul can take a long time thus it is important to plan ahead for continuous support in sobriety. Residential treatment is just the beginning of the journey. They will work with each individual to develop a custom continuing care plan that is based on several factors; such as the presence of mental health challenges, living conditions, family functioning, and willingness to change. They also include the family in the development of the continuing care plan. The family has much-needed insight on the individual’s challenges that need to be addressed within the plan. There are a number of extended care, sober living, outpatient, aftercare and alumni programs within the Arbor Continuum, allowing for the development of a continuing care plan that best serves the client and their family.
Outpatient
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.
Sober 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.
24-Hour Clinical Care
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.

Treatment
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
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.
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.
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Cognitive 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.
Eye 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 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.
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
In considering the many aspects of life that suffer during active alcoholism and addiction, life skills are an important aspect that are often neglected. While this term can seem a bit broad, life skills can be defined as any psychological, social, or interpersonal skill that is important. The fact that many of these skills must be relearned, or even taught from scratch, can be one of the most overwhelming aspects of recovery, and therefore has become one of the key focuses of Arbor Extended Care. All house managers are certified as Peer Recovery Support Specialists, have undergone intensive training, and have successfully navigated this journey themselves. They are properly armed with the necessary tools to mentor residents on these important skills.
Nutrition Therapy
The disease of addiction takes it toll on the individual’s mind, spirit, relationships and body. The journey to sobriety is a journey towards good health. The effects of nutrition and a healthy diet on the body is well known. What is often not considered is that proper nutrition is an important part of the healing process of addiction treatment. Clients in their residential programs eat on site and are taught about nutrition and food preparation. Special dietary needs, such as allergies, can be accommodated. Meals are prepared for residents of The Arbor men’s and women’s programs. Each meal is balanced for nutrition, healing properties and taste.
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.
