Detox is a drug rehab process that is designed to remove the drug addict from the drug safely. The problem with solely using detox as a sobriety tool is that it alone provides no therapy or counseling. If a person goes through detox and returns to their everyday life, they may begin using again once the detox has worn off.
Detox does not help with cravings, so for some addicts, this can be extremely difficult and should be both done and supervised by medical professionals. Aftercare is crucial, so selecting a facility that offers additional services is important.
Inpatient treatment takes place when a patient checks into a rehab facility. Patients at Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center receive round the clock care that includes detoxing and therapy. Although outpatient treatments are available, inpatient care is recommended as the first step in rehabilitation. The intensive and comprehensive treatment sets patients on a path for drug free living.
Not everyone who struggles with addiction in Texas is ready to go into a treatment program. For these individuals, intervention services may help. Friends and family of the individual can call and set up an intervention. We have a professional come and lead the discussion.
Treatment is just the first step to maintaining sobriety. After treatment, aftercare support at Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center helps the individual adjust to a life without substances. This support may involve a sober living home in or near Hico, TX, career counseling, or educational assistance. This is when a relapse prevention plan begins to take shape.

Some facilities like Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center in Hico, TX offer couples therapy options to manage intimate partnerships amid the recovery process. Other couples-focused treatment plans can provide the patient and their partner tools to get things back to normal.
When family members are more proactive and involved in the treatment procedure, it encourages the patient to advance his or her progress. Moreover, it shouldn’t be ignored that genetics play a role when it comes to addiction, so it’s better to approach the problem as a unit. Also, with proper education, family members can help an individual avoid addiction triggers and guide him or her in making lifestyle changes necessary for his or her sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps those who attend Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center understand how their feelings, beliefs, and thoughts affect their behaviors. DBT is particularly useful for people with self-harming behaviors, as well as those with substance abuse disorders. DBT teaches people how to tolerate distress, regulate their emotions, and how to become mindful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the underlying thoughts and behaviors that caused the problem of addiction in the first place and may cause a relapse. Negative feelings are common in substance abuse disorders, and if not recognized, they can cause co-occurring disorders.
CBT involves strategies that help to change the thinking and behavioral pattern by cognitive restructuring. In simple terms, it helps to remove negative thoughts and provides long-term benefits. Also, CBT promotes self-awareness, self-control, and healthy ways to respond to negative thoughts. It can be administered as a mono-therapy as well as a part of combination therapy.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic method used to treat emotional trauma. In an EMDR session, a Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center therapist provides a stimulus for the client, such as hand-tapping or moving a visual stimulus that the client tracks while recounting a traumatizing event. EMDR is notably effective in treating PTSD.

Addiction commonly results in varying levels of malnutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

While in active addiction meals can be skipped or replaced by drugs or alcohol. Eating correctly to replace lost vitamins and minerals while balancing your diet can build confidence while restoring your health from the inside out.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) helps smokers get nicotine into their system without resorting to smoking. It’s a way to help people quit smoking without going cold turkey and experience aggressive withdrawal symptoms. The products (in the form of gums, sprays, patches, inhales, or lozenges) used in NRT provide the body with nicotine, excluding the toxic substances found in tobacco.
