About Banyan Texas
Specializing in a truly unique approach to addiction recovery, Banyan Treatment Center in Waelder, Texas helps individuals affected by substance abuse, addiction and mental health challenges. This facility, which sits on 70 acres and is entirely fenced in, immerses clients in nature therapy by allowing them to connect with the outdoors as part of their recovery. Residents are served chef-prepared meals which gives them comfort and sustenance during their treatments.
Programs like Faith in Recovery and SMART Recovery cater to clients with specific needs and belief systems. They also offer programs dedicated to supporting the unique obstacles that veterans face. What sets Banyan apart is its strong aftercare program that offers long-term support once you have left treatment.
Banyan Texas offers outpatient programs for long-term recovery support while seamlessly implementing clients back into their routines. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides a structured and stable environment for those who are ready to begin transitioning back into their lives yet still need some form of continued therapy and no longer need 24-hour care.
Clients generally attend several therapy sessions a week, focusing on relapse prevention, coping techniques and therapeutic issues. The standard outpatient program (OP) has an even lighter schedule to accommodate people who are transitioning back to work or family life. Both programs are steeped in a blend of individual and group therapies allowing clients to fortify their recovery skills.
Many enter a medical detox program that provides 24/7 medical supervision to help them deal with withdrawal safely. After detox, their intensive inpatient and residential treatments provide a structured setting with intensive therapies. The partial hospitalization program serves as a bridge from inpatient care to outpatient services, providing comprehensive care during the day while clients return home during the night .
Banyan Texas also utilizes holistic therapies such as trauma-focused therapy, faith-based recovery and family counseling. They focus on relapse prevention and aftercare planning so clients have a plan for how to maintain their progress after leaving the facility.
They partner with several insurance companies to offer patients treatment at an affordable rate. They take most major insurance plans and their admissions team assists clients in verifying their coverage to assess the cost of care.

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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.
Peer support is an important aspect of group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction. As you and your peers share stories and encourage each other, it fosters a sense of community and belonging that helps you process your feelings and reduces the sense of isolation that is associated with addiction.
Individual therapy offers you a confidential space to address the complexities of your drug or alcohol addiction. Your therapist guides these personalized sessions to help develop self awareness and manage stress. This promotes sustained sobriety and overall well being.
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.
The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic within the family unit. Therapists help individual members to identify and change harmful behavior patterns and improve communication. This provides a stable foundation for the family and their loved one's recovery.
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.
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.
