ABOUT THE RANCH AT DOVE TREE
The Ranch at Dove Tree, located in Lubbock, Texas, offers a full spectrum of treatment for individuals struggling with substance misuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Founded in 2002, Dove Tree is a privately owned organization with a traditional residential program for adults, as well as a dedicated program for collegiate-aged young adults. The facility also offers on-site detox services and outpatient-based programs.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Dove Tree’s detox program generally takes between 24 and 72 hours. The medical component of detox may be supplemented by individual counseling, family counseling, and educational classes. Once stable, clients may transition into primary programming.
Dove Tree utilizes the 12-step model of recovery in conjunction with trauma-informed and evidence-based treatment approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Spirituality groups, relapse prevention training, and experiential therapies, such as equine therapy and outdoors pursuits, are also part of the treatment program.
Residential treatment lasts 30 or 60 days, depending on each client’s level of need. Dove Tree is also one of only 72 treatment facilities (14.2 percent) in Texas to offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP), which clients may undergo instead of residential treatment when appropriate.
After completing one of these programs, clients may enter an intensive outpatient program (IOP) followed by general outpatient treatment and optional sober living facilities. Alumni who have successfully completed treatment will receive a plan for a year’s worth of structured aftercare support.
