About The Arbor – Extended Care Women – Austin
Popular for its bustling music and arts scene, Austin, Texas is also home to The Arbor – Extended Care Women. Since 2009, this gender-specific residential center has welcomed women struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. You’ll benefit from a welcoming space to hone in on recovery away from distractions.
Residential care provides a highly structured living environment with 24/7 support and guidance. Their program offers compassionate care tailored to women’s unique physiological, social, and psychological needs. You’ll benefit from proven therapeutic interventions in group and individual sessions. They also provide specialized therapy, including PTSD treatment, trauma therapy, and more.
What stands out most to me is their holistic approaches. They understand that reaching sobriety is just one part of recovery. You’ll heal your mind, body, and soul with meditation, yoga, and nutritional counseling. That way, you’ll leave treatment with new self care practices and the tools to support your overall well-being.
Another great feature I noticed was their equine assisted therapy. You can interact with horses in private, small, and large groups. This experiential therapy helps you foster a sense of connection with yourself and others. You’ll build trust and find healing through relationships with horses. These new findings can carry over into your daily relationships with others and help strengthen bonds.
I also think their family program is fantastic. They understand that addiction is a familial disease and your family also needs support. Your loved ones will benefit from an authentic healing experience focused on understanding addiction and recovery. They provide monthly two day family programs in person as well as virtual options.
