Residential Treatment

Our Continuum Of Care

At The Orchard on the Brazos, our continuum of care is comprehensive and covers all stages of the treatment journey, encompassing a full spectrum of services.

Phase 2 of Your Comprehensive Treatment Plan

What makes the residential treatment program at Orchard on the Brazos stand out is the importance we place on treating people as individuals who are worthy of dignity, respect, and attention. We want everyone here to feel that they matter.

Through our residential treatment program, our goal is to help residents:

  • Understand what brought them here and what they’re searching for
  • Attain self-compassion and self-awareness
  • Know the value of asking for help
  • Establish trust within the community
  • Acknowledge their strength and self-worth
  • Build a foundation of willingness to keep going and commit to a life of sobriety

Because we understand the effectiveness of a custom approach, we tailor each resident’s treatment plan according to their own unique circumstances. No two people share the same life experiences, so it stands to reason that no two treatment plans are identical.

Another major part of our residential program is offering autonomy and privacy to residents. That’s why we let residents keep their phones and laptops, when appropriate. This decision isn’t just made to preserve residents’ comfort or to treat them like adults, but for important clinical reasons, too. We believe that it’s important for residents to be able to communicate with their family and support systems, maintain personal obligations, and remain connected with all the positive things in their life. Moreover, mobile devices are a fact of everyday life. We believe it’s counterproductive to detach residents from real life and all the temptations and stressors they’ll face upon leaving treatment. Instead, we know from experience that there’s a significant therapeutic advantage that comes from encountering real life and learning how to manage certain situations that may arise—while still in treatment.

We also offer incredibly comfortable accommodations, including private bedrooms. And whether it’s providing delicious meals or handling daily chores for residents, we aim to deliver world-class hospitality so they can focus exclusively on recovery.

Treatment Options

Our programming is thorough and incorporates a blend of therapeutic approaches, including:

  • Individual sessions twice per week with a licensed chemical dependency counselor and mental health counselor
  • Group therapy sessions daily to encourage a sense of community, share experiences, and foster trust and collaboration
  • Trauma therapy (group and one-on-one sessions)
  • Substance education to deliver insights into addiction cycles and the impact of drugs and alcohol on health, behaviors, and family systems
  • Relapse-prevention plans to learn strategies for avoiding risk factors and practicing accountability
  • Life-after-treatment plans and case management
  • On-site Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, which are open to the community so residents can experience 12-step work in its authentic form while still in treatment
  • Alumni and community fellowship to promote positive socialization and provide an ongoing support system and recovery network
