About The Arbor Behavioral Healthcare – Georgetown
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.
