The Orchard On The Brazos Recovery

About the Facility

Nestled on 135 acres of river-front property, The Orchard on the Brazos is a co-ed, residential addiction treatment facility with all private bedrooms. Our treatment staff has over 100 years of combined experience and our medical team is comprised of experts that specialize in treating addiction. We aim to be your home away from home.

The Orchard on the Brazos Recovery is a co-ed, in-patient drug and alchohol rehabilitation facility located in Wallis, TX, 40 miles southwest of Houston. Our leadership team is very keen on maintaining a large clinical staff to client ratio, as we feel it’s necessary in order to truly individualize our resident’s treatment plans. We also do all we can to cultivate a ‘home-away-from-home’ feel to our facility and as such, every room we have is single-occupancy, private bedrooms with comfortable queen-size beds. We have a full medical detox with 24-hour nursing staff. Unlike most treatment centers that contract-out for Board Certified Addiction MD’s, Dr. Clay Brown is our in-house Medical Director. He is on site seven days a week, availing himself when needed and making sure all resident’s are comfortable and receiving the necessary medical attention throughout their stay. We also employ the help of both an in-house psychologist and psychiatrist to meet individually with each resident once per week.

We are situated on a beautiful 130 acre tract of land, providing abundant space for healing. Walking trails surrounded by giant oak trees are throughout the property. Clients will stay in one of the six custom built homes on the banks of the Brazos River. Each home is designed to bring the beauty of the surroundings in, with floor to ceiling windows and outdoor living space.

We believe that a tranquil environment is essential for those healing from their addictions. With serene walking trails overlooking the banks of the Brazos River, residents are able to connect with nature while reconnecting with themselves.

About an hour outside of Houston, experience a quiet, calming atmosphere and fresh air away from the stress of the city. Our spacious grounds provide ample opportunity to meditate and reflect as you progress in your recovery journey. Whether overlooking the water or taking in the sunrise behind the trees, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the Orchard on the Brazos.

Recovery starts from the inside out. As part of our program at The Orchard, we provide top-class meals prepared by our onsite executive chef. Residents will also have access to our brand new, state of the art on-site fitness facility. We believe that it’s important to create healthy habits that will continue beyond treatment. The gym will offer cardio equipment, strength training, TRX systems, yoga classes, group fitness classes and trainer created workouts for our residents. Along with our gym, we have two full sized tennis courts, miles of walking trails, a basketball court, a large swimming pool and a stocked pond for fishing on the property.

The Orchard on the Brazos Recovery has developed a unique substance abuse treatment plan coined the Three Pillars Approach which is designed to allow each patient to return to their lives fully prepared for success. The Three Pillar Approach focuses on recovery, spiritual exploration, and re-integration. Our treatment philosophy is one of attraction rather than promotion and as such, we strive to treat our residents like adults. We place an emphasis on a tight-knit community of like-minded residents and staff who all share the same goal of living an abundant life in recovery. We are 12-step based, but we also incorporate a curriculum around finding purpose and meaning in one’s life and letting it become the driving force behind the resident’s “why?”.

Treatment

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

In Texas, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs can treat individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse challenges. Usually offered on an inpatient or outpatient rehab basis, clinicians provide individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, and skills training to address both disorders and equip you with the skills to maintain your recovery.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients are typically admitted to outpatient rehab once they have completed intensive inpatient care. Some clients who are exiting inpatient detox may also choose to transition directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education. Those in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

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.

12-Step

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.

Clinical Services

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Family Therapy

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

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.

Individual Therapy

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.
