We use Omega Laboratories for testing the hair samples. The reason most attorneys and judges prefer Omega Laboratories testing is it utilizes GC/MS or LCL/MS testing on all hair tests, which provides the lowest threshold of detection from drugs of abuse.

Therefore, if drugs are ingested during the testing period, normally 90 days, we can detect it in the hair.

Plum Creek Recovery Ranch is a 46-bed adult residential treatment program for alcohol and drug abuse. Our facility lies on 200 acres of beautifully scenic rolling foothills located just outside of Austin, Texas.

We offer a wide array of evidence-based treatments that include Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT).

MAT is primarily used for addiction to opioids such as heroin and prescription painkillers that contain opiates.

There are also MAT medications for use in treating alcohol addiction.

The MAT-prescribed medications act to normalize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of opioids and alcohol, relieve cravings, and stabilize body functions without the negative effects of the abused drug.

Benefits include:

• Increased survival from overdose
• Increased retention in treatment
• Decreased criminal activity
• Group and individual therapy sessions
• Decreased illicit drug use
• Increased ability to gain & maintain employment

Adults: 18+.

This beautiful treatment center is nestled in the heart of the Texas hill country, just outside of historic Fredericksburg. Known for its peach orchards, vineyards, and historic downtown, Fredericksburg epitomizes rest, relaxation, and retreat. It is the perfect setting for our patients to get away from the status quo and find freedom from drug and alcohol addiction.

The residential treatment program at the Fredericksburg treatment center accommodates 32 patients. Patients in need of detoxification will be sent to our Abilene campus for detox before beginning the residential treatment program in Fredericksburg.

Our Fredericksburg campus is staffed by highly-trained, licensed counselors from a variety of backgrounds.  Our counselors know that reclaiming one’s life is no easy task; it is a step-by-step process that requires an immense amount of support.  That is why every patient is given a personalized treatment plan that involves one-on-one counseling, group counseling, education, health and fitness time, relaxation, family counseling, and many other crucial recovery services.

This plan will involve group counseling, individual counseling, classes and group processing, fitness and nutrition, and regular twelve-step meetings. We aim to treat the primary addiction to drugs and alcohol with an eye to the patient’s particular situation, especially any complicating factors – cross-addiction, co-occurring conditions, mental health conditions, etc.

Successful treatment of alcoholism and other drug addictions at La Hacienda Treatment Center is rooted in the immersion of a 12-step Program and solid counseling administered by a competent and empathetic staff.

At La Hacienda, we believe that for an individual with alcohol or drug addiction problems to find sobriety the following must be achieved:

• Correction of distorted thinking and breakdown of the denial system
• Recognition of the need for change; acceptance of the tools for change
• Motivation to utilize these tools daily

To attain this end, La Hacienda’s core recovery program provides several therapeutic modalities to both educate the patient and allow the processing of painful feelings in a nurturing environment.

Treatment modalities include:

• Individual counseling
• Group counseling
• Didactic groups
• Therapeutic activities Including a ROPES course
• Big Book Studies
• Family program
• On- and off-campus 12-Step meetings
• Interactive therapeutic milieu

We offer optional programming for those who desire to incorporate Christian beliefs into their recovery.

Many Christians struggle alone with chemical dependency for fear of rejection. At La Hacienda, we recognize addiction as a serious disease, rather than moral inadequacy, that affects the mind, body, and spirit. For those who desire to incorporate their Christian faith into their recovery, group and individual counseling is provided which includes recognition of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Those patients who desire to participate in the Christian focus groups do so in addition to all other programming. Our clinical staff includes a minister who facilitates five groups each week.

These special counseling groups explore:

• Biblical scripture and the relationship to the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
• The spiritual nature of human relationships
• The importance of forgiveness in healing
• Other essential components of spirituality in recovery
• Gaining insight into the important aspects of recovery, and learning how it interrelates with Christian faith, helps our patients experience renewed hope from their core beliefs.

Visitation time is reserved for those wishing to visit with a pastor or priest. Our staff minister is available for individual counseling and assistance for patients, family members, and area pastors, as requested.

At La Hacienda we recognize addiction as a serious disease that affects the mind, body, and spirit – rather than moral inadequacy.

Co-occurring disorders happen when a person has a substance use disorder at the same time as a mental health disorder.

While commonly used to refer to the combination of substance use and mental disorders, the term can also refer to other combinations of disorders, such as a medical condition and substance abuse, or a mood disorder and substance abuse.

Understanding addiction and co-occurring disorders is part of what makes La Hacienda Treatment Center unique. Our medical and clinical staff screen for both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental illness, then prepare an integrated treatment plan based on the individual patient.

La Hacienda is the place to initiate sobriety and to learn to stay sober. Within 3-5 weeks of entering our comprehensive treatment program, patients have completed most phases of residential treatment, including detoxification, individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, specialized classes, activities therapy, and detailed instruction in 12 Step application.

For 50 years, individuals and families seeking to improve their lives have come to our serene campus to heal and join the growing number of those who have successfully left behind their addictions.

Young people in their late teens and early twenties suffering from substance use disorders still have the chance to change course and achieve successful recovery.

La Hacienda enhances the relapsed patient’s potential for long-term sobriety through the specialized and focused treatment of our Relapse Program.

Our experience teaches us that relapse is a process – recognizable, preventable, and treatable. Before the recovering person starts to use alcohol or other drugs again, there is a pattern of behavior that starts with the return of denial and is marked by symptoms of isolation, depression, high levels of stress, and impaired judgment.

La Hacienda’s Relapse Program provides specialized education and process groups that focus on the specific problematic issues the patient is presenting.

Those who have relapsed can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contributed to their relapse and identify future threats to recovery. Patients learn to identify mistaken beliefs about relapse and their justifications and relapse warning signs. They also work through the shame, guilt, and fear associated with having been on the road to recovery and then relapsing.

We have found that many of our patients who have relapsed have lost their focus on the 12 Steps. La Hacienda emphasizes step work and offers assistance to these patients in moving beyond their previous “stuck points”. Patients help develop their own continuing care plans and are encouraged to find counselors and 12-step sponsors who are compatible with relapse prevention concepts.

La Hacienda provides a variety of therapeutic activities including:

• Weight room
• Swimming pool
• Gymnasium
• ROPES course
• Walking trail

The experiential therapy of our ROPES course works to focus on the all-important issues of:

• Trust
• Communication
• Decision-making
• Cooperation among group members

The confidence, encouragement, and self-awareness derived from these challenges are internalized by the individual patient and then transferred to other life situations outside of treatment. Self-respect and trust are two of the benefits that patients acquire from the ROPES course.
