Willow Springs Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who want medically supervised detox and residential addiction treatment in a private, more comfortable setting; need care for both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions; want a balance of structure and personal freedom rather than a highly restrictive program; value having phones and laptops to stay in contact with work, school, or family; prefer multiple recovery pathways, including 12-step, SMART Recovery, holistic care, and faith-based options; have private insurance or can self-pay.

• Not a fit if: Those looking for a highly controlled environment with minimal outside contact or very limited personal time; people who want a single recovery track only, such as strictly 12-step treatment; those who need Medicaid or Medicare coverage; or people seeking only outpatient care without a residential stay.

What to expect

Typical schedule

• Structured days: Clients participate in group therapy throughout the day, with built-in personal time alongside treatment programming.
• Diverse programming: Daily programming includes group therapy, 12-step classes, non-12-step classes, holistic care options, and individual meetings with therapists multiple times per week.
• Technology policy: The program is cell phone-friendly, and clients can stay in contact with family during treatment.
• Visitation: Weekly outings are offered, and weekend visitation is allowed on Sundays, with therapist approval.

Developing your care plan

• Intake assessment: Treatment begins with an individualized evaluation of each client’s substance use, mental health needs, and broader clinical situation.
• Individualized treatment plans: Staff develop a treatment plan based on the client’s specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Detox and ongoing assessments: Detox is medicated when needed and typically lasts about 3–14 days, depending on the client’s clinical needs.

Who you will meet with

• Therapists: Clients meet with a primary therapist multiple times per week for individual counseling and treatment planning.
• Group facilitators: Staff lead group therapy and recovery-focused classes throughout the day.
• Medical and nursing staff: Nurses, doctors, and mental health professionals support clients during detox and throughout treatment as needed.
• Clinical team: A broader multidisciplinary team helps oversee safety, comfort, and co-occurring mental health support.

Living experiences and amenities

• Private, nature-based setting: The residential program is set on 38 acres of Texas countryside, offering privacy and separation from everyday triggers while still allowing clients to stay connected to the outside world.
• Comfort and recreation: Amenities include a swimming pool, fully equipped gym, tennis courts, sand volleyball, walking paths, fire pit, and chef-prepared meals.
• Accommodations: Clients have access to private or semi-private rooms, along with comfortable communal spaces designed to feel more relaxing than institutional.

Aftercare

• Step-down support: Clients can continue care through PHP, IOP, outpatient treatment, and aftercare within the same provider network.
• Ongoing recovery support: The facility also offers alumni meetings and continuing outpatient support after residential treatment.
