We believe addiction is treatable as a disease and is not a moral issue.
Addiction is a disease that encompasses the mind, body and spirit. Recovery from chemical dependency requires total abstinence from all mind/mood altering chemicals.
The disease of addiction is progressive, affecting not only the addict/alcoholic, but family members, friends and co-workers.
If untreated, one’s quality of life continues to deteriorate. This can be fatal.
We provide each client with an empathetic multi-disciplinary treatment team, working together to assess, diagnose, and develop a treatment plan to maximize recovery from chemical dependency.
Our goal-oriented and client-specific treatment methods provide optimum care and relapse prevention. Archway Recovery Centers’ treatment program includes private individual life management skills, along with group and family therapy. We believe in the value of peer support and our programs are designed to assist individuals in a shared experience of recovery.
Archway Recovery Centers believes that in order to achieve and maintain sobriety, the client must build a strong foundation through involvement in the 12 Step Program of Alcoholics Anonymous. The best way to maximize the potential for full recovery is to follow the principles of the 12 Step Program while in treatment and post-discharge.
We offer a ropes course for the family program to help families learn trust and to work with each other in problem solving and life strategies.
Our primary objective is to create and maintain an environment in which clients and family members are treated with dignity and respect. We believe that recovery is an ongoing process and the first step of this lifelong journey begins with treatment.
We are affiliated with the Equine Eagala Therapy Horse Ranch in Medina Texas.
EquiQuest, Inc. offers Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Equine Assisted Learning opportunities for individuals, groups, families and corporations. EAP and EAL are non-traditional experimental approaches which involve hands-on activities with horses. The structured activities with the horses are used as metaphors to build life skills and explore one's own behaviors. The lessons learned are instantly applicable to real life situations including the classroom, employee team building, substance abuse and post-traumatic stress.
EquiQuest uses the EAGALA model for all of the activities. All work is done on the ground as riding changes the relationship between horse and human. Horses demonstrate personalities, moods and attitudes as unique as any human's and provide endless opportunities for analysis, discussion, insight and learning.
EquiQuest conducts sessions at our ranch in Medina, Texas (about an hour from San Antonio) and can also arrange on-site workshops
at your location.
