About Arthur Center Behavioral Health – Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs, Texas-based Arthur Center Behavioral Health provides mental health and substance use disorder treatment, with a focus on individualized and evidence-based care. Their programs offer a suite of programs to support people who are struggling with opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder or have co-occurring mental health issues.
Here, they offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to treat people with opioid use and misuse disorder. This program helps the body better manage symptoms of withdrawal while reducing drug cravings, which helps clients concentrate effectively on the recovery process. Medications used include naltrexone, which inhibits opioid receptors to discourage abuse while aiding long-term recovery. For alcohol use disorders, they use acamprosate which helps people maintain abstinence by stabilizing differences in brain chemistry introduced by alcohol dependency.
Besides medication, the center focuses on counseling and behavioral therapies, taking a comprehensive approach to treatment. Clients engage in individualized and group sessions that focus on the underlying issues behind addiction and they gain coping skills to help maintain their sobriety in the long run.
Arthur Center also offers therapy programs customized for anxiety, depression, trauma and psychiatric concerns. They specialize in crisis intervention, case management and community support programs. I like that they offer Wellness Connections, a recovery-oriented program that includes experiential education groups and activities that focus on topics like stress management, independent living and relapse prevention. Workshops here focus on life skills, self-advocacy and mental wellness.
The facility primarily cares for locals and offers programs such as transport assistance for participants in its service area. Moreover, Arthur Center’s location in the beautiful, scenic Texas Hill Country provides a peaceful environment for recovery that many clients find restorative.
They accept multiple types of insurance including Medicaid and Medicare as well as private insurance plans. They also offer a sliding fee scale so the cost does not stand in the way of any patients being seen.
