About Ripple Ranch Recovery

Set on a serene Texas estate, Ripple Ranch offers detox, residential, and intensive outpatient care for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. Through customized treatment plans that blend science-backed therapies and holistic healing, clients reconnect with their purpose and create ripples of change that extend to the lives of those around them.
Ripple Ranch blends time-tested therapies and innovative techniques into each client’s customized treatment plan. Clients participate in 1–2 hours of one-on-one counseling and 25–30 hours of group therapy each week. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) help reconfigure thoughts and behaviors for long-term success. Clients also engage in holistic practices like yoga and nutritional counseling to strengthen the body and promote inner peace.
Set on over 20 acres of Texas countryside, Ripple Ranch is a peaceful campus. Detox and residential clients stay in a 40-bed, family-style facility featuring private or shared rooms with outdoor access, a pool, workout room, and an on-site chef. Clients enjoy nature views from every window, TVs in detox rooms and common areas, and flexible tech policies—all within a setting that supports deep rest, reflection, and around-the-clock supervised care.
Ripple Ranch is committed to supporting lasting recovery through robust aftercare services. Each client receives a tailored aftercare plan that may include outpatient services at Continuum Outpatient Center, medication management, lifestyle changes, and access to local support groups. They also organize community events and host weekly “Alumni and Friends” meetings to give past clients a space to reconnect, share, and draw strength from peers.
