The drug detox process offers a safe and gradual way to reach sobriety without fear of potentially harmful withdrawal symptoms. Their team of medical professionals may administer medication to reduce withdrawal symptoms in patients who are at higher risk of them.
Their inpatient program lets clients live in the facility while undergoing treatment allowing them to be in a controlled environment away from temptation and negative influences. This is also ideal for those who require round-the-clock care while attending daily therapy sessions.
The intensive outpatient program benefits those with severe cases of addiction who still need to return home after sessions but require daily counseling on their journey to sobriety. This facility utilizes the 12-Step program in its practices.
Outpatient services are the lowest level of care offered requiring only a few hours of visiting time per week. All levels of care, however, may include individual therapy, family and group counseling, trauma therapy,and medical nutrition therapy (MNT).
Sundown Ranch takes major insurance providers like Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, United Healthcare and others. Contact your provider to verify coverage because out of network benefits can vary.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
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.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
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.
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.
Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
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.
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.
A major focus of treatment includes counseling and education enabling family members to share, understand and help in the rehabilitation process. At their Intensive Family Program weekend, specific activities are designed to build relationships and enhance communications. In addition, they combine extensive chemical education, family systems model counseling, multi-family therapy, and experiential work to heal wounds and rebuild bridges.

My 16 year old daughter was on a path of destruction. She had been trying to stop the addictive behaviors on her own but ended up self medicating because of the stress from trying to stop. Her grades were suffering at school and she was pulling away from family. She ran ...
My daughter has been in and out of hospitals/rehab for the last 5 years, and this is the first place that saw through her "fake it to make it" bs and really worked on why she is so unhappy. I can't tell you the difference I have seen in my daughter! They really help the ...
I went here at 17 and now, 15 years later, I’m still working through all the trauma this place caused me. I’ve never had substance abuse issues and my drug test was clean upon arriving here. Some of my worst memories are having to sit in silence all day for several days straight during “Community” - they made us sit still in a room with everyone at the facility all day for days on end where we got yelled at about how bad we were. One time during Community, a counselor recounted his very graphic unaliving attempt where he had sh*t himself with a sh*tgun and was bleeding out. Unclear what lesson we were supposed to learn there. The staff made us do “underwear checks” where they looked at our underwear every morning… when we’d get caught not wearing underwear they’d put us in coveralls for a week. I passed out in the hot Texas summer sun from that. They heavily medicated many of us. They claimed I was schizophrenic (I wasn’t) and put me on a high dose of Saphris that made me pass out and have to be carried to bed sometimes. One girl later told me she passed out from the meds so hard she faceplanted and broke her face. At one point I was told I’d be leaving, then they pulled my release date. I felt so defeated and hopeless that I sat there in silence and my counselor claimed I was “catatonic” and sent me to solitary confinement for 3 days. I was 17. They sent kids to solitary for DAYS for other things that had nothing to do with immediate physical safety. They sent a girl, who was an SA survivor, to solitary confinement for 3 days for hooking up with a guy. They sent another girl to solitary confinement for days just for flirting with a guy. We learned that the best way to get through solitary confinement was to hurt ourselves so they would give us Benadryl, that way we could sleep instead of losing our minds and destroying our mental health from being trapped in a cement box alone for days. We were children, by the way. I remember feeling very helpless, hopeless, powerless, trapped, and depressed while I was there. I still suffer from PTSD from this place and have to work through it with EMDR and trauma therapy. My relationship with my parents is practically non-existent. I moved to a different state and keep my distance from them—that trust that they broke by sending me here can never be rebuilt. It’s been almost 15 years.
Food was great a girl seized out and they called a zone 2 because they claim she was faking multiple kids ran music drawing coloring humming is banned yiu have to do suicides in the 105 heat for con log you can’t have jackets you get flash lights flashed in your face all night I got extreme head lice and there’s roaches so enjoy
I genuinely have nothing bad to say amount Ms. Sam, her honesty, determination, and personality is really what I needed to hear to help me grow and become a better version of myself. She is such a good family counselor and someone you can truly confide In. She has first hand experience and is always going to back up the truth and honesty. Ms. Sam is someone you want on your side. She is so sweet and funny, she just makes everyone around happier.
I’m Melles daughter, Bella K. I got out on July 1st!! I truly cannot say enough good things about Sundown Ranch. Going there was one of the best experiences of my life, and I’m beyond grateful for everything I learned and everyone who helped me along the way. The staff made such a huge impact on me. Lacy, Jordan, Jason, Patricia, and Delaney were all incredibly caring, supportive, and genuine. They always took the time to listen, encourage us, and remind us that we were capable of so much more than we believed. They created an environment where I felt safe, understood, and motivated to keep growing every day. I especially want to recognize Judy. I know some people might see her as strict, but after being there, I truly understand why. Judy wasn’t strict because she wanted to be mean—she was strict because she genuinely cared about us. She made sure everyone followed the rules, stayed on track, and avoided getting into trouble with the higher-ups. She held us accountable because she wanted us to succeed, not because she wanted to make our lives harder. Looking back, I appreciate her so much for that. Sometimes the people who care the most are the ones willing to tell you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear. She always wanted the best for every single kid there, and I have so much respect for her because of it. I also want to mention the ITU (the Intensive Treatment Unit), because I know people sometimes leave reviews that make it sound like a punishment for no reason. In my experience, that’s simply not true. It is genuinely hard to end up in the ITU. You don’t get sent there over something small—you have to make a serious choice that goes against the program or the rules. Most people are only there for around 24 hours, or until they are able to honestly acknowledge what they did and take accountability. That may sound tough, but learning to accept responsibility for your actions is one of the most important lessons we can learn in life. The ITU isn’t there to shame kids; it’s there to help them reflect, calm down, and get back on track. Looking back, I can see that the structure and accountability were there because the staff truly wanted every one of us to succeed. Sundown Ranch gave me so much more than just treatment—it gave me hope, life skills, lifelong memories, and people who truly believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. The staff didn’t just do their jobs; they changed lives, and I’m living proof of that. If you’re considering Sundown Ranch for yourself or someone you love, I can honestly say it was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. The people there care deeply about the kids they serve, and every rule and every expectation exists for a reason. Thank you to Lacy, Jordan, Jason, Judy, Patricia, Delaney, and everyone else at Sundown Ranch for your patience, compassion, and dedication. I will always be grateful for everything you did for me and for helping me become a stronger, healthier version of myself.
