About High Frontier

High Frontier offers outpatient addiction treatment services.

Individual therapy creates the space to explore the psychological challenges associated with the addiction. With the help of a professional, individuals are given the space and direction to talk about and process their emotions. Often this includes unresolved trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, and the need for more control or autonomy in life.

Group therapy involves treatment through the process of connecting in a group setting to discuss and work through mental, emotional, and physical issues. There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more.

Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long-term sobriety is achieved.

We stayed in the adobe house as the first guests and were stunned by the spacious and luxious touches throughout! The views are breathtaking and we felt so taken care of with the firewood and coffee available for our use! The beds were comfortable, house felt very clean, and open, was the perfect place for our small group on Thanksgiving, the table sat all of us and we are eager to return ASAP!

This is a wonderful place! We stayed for my 40th birthday. Enjoyed being in the peace and quiet to really reflect. The amenities are great with a gym for people who actually lift weights! 💪 Thank you Maggie and Matt for everything!

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

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.

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

A long term residential treatment facility for troubled teens, a so called peer driven community. I'm glad it has been shut down, but I wonder if the negative residual energy from years of kids being tortured lingers where the new resort now sits. I was the first among 8 gir ... Read More

Beautiful ranch turned into a resort venue. Outside of Fort Davis, Texas, it's a quiet getaway, and perfect place for dark sky astrophotography. Near McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and just a couple of hours to the heart of Big Bend National Park.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Adobe House at High Frontier in Fort Davis TX. It was the perfect setup for traveling with kids—plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax, and not feel on top of each other. The layout made it easy to manage naps, playtime, and downtime, which made a huge difference for us as a family. The mountain views were absolutely stunning and one of the highlights of the trip. Waking up and stepping outside to that peaceful scenery was something special. We also really appreciated how private and quiet the property felt. The secluded setting gave us a chance to truly unwind, disconnect, and enjoy nature without distractions. We especially enjoyed the pool after a long day of sightseeing and those hot but beautiful hikes around Alpine, Big Bend, Fort Davis State Park, Prude Ranch, and the Chihuahuan Desert mountains. It was the perfect way to relax and cool off. We absolutely loved the property and had such a wonderful time! The home itself was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It struck a great balance between rustic charm and modern convenience. The outdoor space was also a big win—perfect for kids to explore and for us to relax and take in the views. Overall, this was exactly the kind of place you hope for when visiting the West Texas area: peaceful, spacious, family-friendly, and surrounded by natural western Texas native beauty. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable and relaxing getaway in Fort Davis Texas. Such a special place—we can’t wait to go back! The High Frontier is a sister property to St. George, and both offer truly unique, one-of-a-kind, premium venue spaces. They’re perfect for special events like weddings, galas, quinceañeras, two-stepping dances, concerts, and they also provide restaurant and catering services. You can conveniently book online through their website, which is a great way to support a local business in Fort Davis.

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review—we’re truly grateful you chose to stay with us at the Adobe House at High Frontier.

It means a lot to hear that the space worked so well for your family. Creating an environment where both kids and adults can आराम, recharge, and enjoy their time together is exactly what we hope for, so we’re glad the layout and outdoor areas made your stay easy and enjoyable.

Those West Texas views really are something special, and we’re so happy you were able to take in the beauty of places like Big Bend National Park, Fort Davis State Park, and Prude Ranch during your trip. There’s nothing quite like cooling off in the pool after a day of exploring the desert and mountains.

We also appreciate you highlighting the peaceful and private setting—that sense of escape is a big part of what makes High Frontier so unique. And thank you for mentioning our sister property, Hotel Saint George. Together, both properties are designed to offer memorable stays and one-of-a-kind spaces for everything from relaxing getaways to special celebrations.

We’d absolutely love to welcome you and your family back anytime—your West Texas home is waiting!
