The Orchard On The Brazos Recovery

About The Orchard on the Brazos

Orchard on the Brazos in Wallis, Texas is a luxury abstinence-based substance abuse treatment facility for adults. They offer inpatient detox, residential and outpatient treatment as well as aftercare for alumni. This facility accepts patients with a dual-diagnosis.

Detox at the Orchard helps individuals not give up during this difficult first step in recovery. The on-site compassionate staff will monitor and support each client during the 5-14 days it typically takes to withdraw from substance use. If necessary, medications can be given to increase comfort during this stage.

After detox, clients can step down into residential care at the beautiful co-ed campus on the shore of the Brazos River. Here, each client gets a private bedroom in a tranquil setting that feels like home. An on-site chef prepares three meals each day. Treatment at the Orchard focuses on these three pillars: recovery, spiritual exploration and reintegration. Clients will be exposed to various therapeutic modalities such as 12-step principles, motivational interviewing, group and individual therapy, trauma therapy, and family and spouse visitation days.

Outpatient care is typically what clients enroll in after residential care, although for some people, it makes sense to begin recovery through an outpatient program. Orchard’s extended care program gives clients a chance to transition to regular life while keeping their routines and resources that aid recovery.

The alumni program is for those who have completed all levels of care with Orchard. Clients work with the program director to create a personalized schedule so they can visit the campus 1-2 a week for treatment.

reference to the review below even if you pay money (35 or was it 40K they managed to get from us you re no stranger to an unjust experience) For the mere 7 days or 8 days there ( in technical terms, I was still considered in detox, and ethically they should not have taken more money until I was out of detox, especially at the level that I was struggling bc it was discussed prior that opiate/fentanyl detox I anticipated to last 12 days and they said oh no problem. We won t take you out of detox until you re ready. I anticipated staying in that room longer because it s what I was told- but just because they managed to convince somebody else to stay on site immediately, the only warning I got was two people coming in middle of group letting me know that I need to pack all my stuff and move. No one confirming if this was okay, if I was ready. Another resident actually commented on how I probably was in pain from having to physically move so much stuff and go through that. but I still stayed a trooper because they were touring that person and I didn t want them to potentially not get the help they deserved. I m a really really kind soul. I think of others. I m all about accountability on both ends and at the end of the day I did make the decision to leave because my cries for help went unheard. I begged to send the doctor to see me because few days of no sleep and I d rather take suboxone than leave and i kept telling them that. The nurse on sight I kept telling about my sleep she ignored and didn t tell doc. Next nurse did when it was too late for me, and people I told I was so scared I was going to end up relapsing was many. leaving I acknowledge That is where I failed. But true failure would be if I weren t willing to get back up and try again. (I do want to highlight all the nurses were gems. A part from one who made it very apparent she did not like me) Even upon leaving I called one crying to discuss how scared I felt that I still wanted sobriety with all my heart, and she even urged me to come back and they would welcome me with open arms. We prayed. She was wrong though) maybe because I m a person of color and had another person of color color come pick me up- maybe if Uber/Lyft sent me a white person to come and get me things would be different idk) because of the phone call to my father, They didn t hide their distaste on my getting picked up by a black guy - Which is also interesting because the whole time I was there, most people were talking about leaving and being welcomed back. How orchard was always there for them. That they found their family. After opening up to many people about my situation, and being honest about where I was at at all times, I just feel sad that courtesy was not extended to me and I don t want to be bold enough to say race had anything to do with it but it really made me wonder. I want to say all of this completely excludes Brandi who was notified about how I was struggling later on and immediately came to see me. She gave me so much hope when I had already given up and felt shattered and arranged leaving. if you do attend this facility, I definitely urge you to reach out to her sooner. I feel sad for making her feel any kind of way about my leaving because as a person she deserved more than that from me. But we can t erase the past.- my point you find the strength to reach out for help, pack for two months because you are so determined to get better and it s your first true time trusting a place and giving sobriety a shot, even if you fail and your brain works against you, you should feel proud if you get right back up and are willing to try again. all this experience told me was my life didn t matter, my situation didn t matter and once they had my money, they didn t care and will ignore you as if you aren t a human being, scared, hurting, and having relapsed which was completely preventable in the first place after begging for days for them to help me because I really didn t know what to do or how to keep on I was open, vulnerable, honest. But guess I just didn t matter to them.

Location

Accepted Insurance

The Orchard on the Brazos works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs offer high-level care for clients as an increased risk of relapse, including those in early recovery, those with a strong history of relapse, and those experiencing a crisis. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in nine to 20 hours of care weekly, with treatment modalities that combine psychotherapy and recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and animal therapy. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also common in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.

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.

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.

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.

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.

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.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

The right life skills training will help you build the skills you need for recovery. You'll learn how to solve problems, improve your social life, enhance your mental health, and make good decisions. This is a key component of drug rehab programs in Texas.

What you eat has a significant effect on your mental and physical health. That's why many addiction recovery programs in Texas incorporate nutrition therapy in their treatment. This therapy teaches you how addiction affects nutrition, what foods are best to eat during recovery, and how to shop for and prepare healthy meals.

Addiction recovery treatment in Texas will offer recreational therapy in a holistic approach to treatment. Therapy incorporates enjoyable activities that support your physical and mental health, such as team sports, creative arts, or individual sports. This activity gives you an emotional outlet, reduces your stress, and improves your mood, each of which promotes long term sobriety.

Creative arts therapy focuses on creative processes. You may engage in sculpting, dancing, improv, painting, or sketching. These creative outlets provide an opportunity to explore and express difficult emotions.

Experiential therapy in Texas can look different for each person. You may engage in fitness activities, community service, culinary arts, or art therapy, for example. The goal is to provide a safe setting where you can interact with your environment and work through emotions and experiences with the help of that activity and the guidance of a therapist.

If you re in the midst of a crisis or a breaking point in your life and are seeking help I would not recommend turning to this facility. If you are portraying yourself as a meaningful organization whose goal is to help people recover and get better then you would offer words of encouragement and help when someone is vulnerable enough to reach out for help getting sober. Instead you disregard people who don t have the ability to pay your price tag in full. At minimum the proper thing to do would have been to show some empathy and assist in trying to help me access different resources if I could not afford this program but that s not something you did because you care more about the financial benefits you can receive rather than people actually recovering. Shame on you. If I did have the ability to afford this place I would avoid it. Who wants fake people who only care about your recovery and well being because you payed them? I get it s a business but it s a very personal business and one that people should go into with a passion to help others genuinely.

The Orchard on the Brazos is an excellent recovery center. The counselors, the family support people and the admissions people are very caring, positive and encouraging. They have helped my daughter tremendously. They provided great educational opportunities and support groups for the loved one's family. They have great referral resources as well as your loved one continues on in their recovery. I'm very grateful for all the people at the Orchard who have helped my daughter.

I can think of nothing but positive things to say about the Orchard. The basics, like living arrangements, meals, etc... are world class. The staff is amazing, from the sweet cleaning ladies, to the amazing nurses, fantastic chefs, and the most amazing technicians. I loved the counselors and Ms. Jane is an angel. Dan L. has put together a one of a kind recovery experience and I owe him my life for creating this place. I can not recommend it enough.
