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 Equime Eagala Therapy Horse Ranch in Medina, TX
Why use rescued horses for people who are in early recovery?
What are EAL and EAP?:
Equine Assisted Learning and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy are learning and healing methodologies developed by EAGALA founder Greg Kersten, who now does his training through the OK Corral Series. In both EAL and EAP, horses are used to facilitate learning and healing for those who are seeking help. EAL is usually devoted to personal or professional growth that can include life skill building, team building, and leadership development. EAL can address the normal problems that beset youth, such as lack of self-confidence, setting boundaries, and dealing with their peers. It teaches patience and persistence. EAP is mental health-related and involves a mental health professional, in addition to the equine specialist. EAP activities can help at-risk students, people with behavior disorders or substance abuse issues, and many more. We can provide a therapist but prefer to work with the therapist who is already working with you or your child. (The therapist observes; the horse, the client, and the equine specialist do the work, and the equine specialist consults with the therapist after the session ends.)
