Unlike traditional inpatient rehab facilities that focus on counseling and a one-size-fits-all 12-step model, Enterhealth embraces the latest National Institute of Health (NIH) research to take a medical approach to treat drug and alcohol addiction as a brain disease.

Enterhealth Provides Structured Inpatient Recovery Programs

Although each patient is unique, most schedules call for 50-plus hours per week of activities, including group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, evaluations, presentations, medical treatments, classes, and more. Most days begin at 7:30 a.m. and end with lights out at 10:30 p.m.
Our Approach And Commitment Lead To Better Outcomes
We believe you can get well and we will stop at nothing to help you recover. From the beginning, we’ve taken a different approach to effectively treat addiction, which led to our creation of the Enterhealth Brain Healing Institute.
Starting with research from the National Institutes of Health, we designed an evidence-based treatment program and protocols – based on the fact addiction is a treatable brain disease – which completely revolve around patient and family care. Our 84% percent recovery outcomes are a testament of our approach, industry leadership, and relentless pursuit of better outcomes, including yours.
Admissions
The Enterhealth Ranch addiction recovery staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide clear, straightforward answers to your questions and to assist with the admission process.
We want to make sure you have all the information you need to begin your journey through recovery. Day or night, contact us or call 1.800.388.4601 to answer your questions. You can also visit our Admissions page where we provide information about what to bring, what to leave at home, how your family is involved in your recovery, and what a typical day at Enterhealth Ranch is like.
Detox
At Enterhealth Ranch, every drug and alcohol detox is closely supervised by our addiction-trained medical experts and withdrawal symptoms are carefully managed.
Using the latest evidence-based medical protocols, the most effective anti-addiction medication therapy and a 24-hour on-site medical staff, our detox services are provided in a safe, private environment.
In-depth Assessments
Enterhealth treats addiction as a chronic brain disease. Starting with psychological and, in some cases, neurological assessment, we dig deep to understand not only how your brain works but how other factors in your life contribute to your disease.
Learning your whole story helps us pinpoint the deep physical and emotional connections your brain has with the abusive substance. Then, we design a personalized plan to help you break free.
Staff
At Enterhealth Ranch, you are under the care of a full-time clinical staff, all highly trained addiction specialists, including board-certified MDs, neuropsychologists, Masters- and PhD-Level Therapists, and registered nurses.
The Enterhealth difference includes daily treatments led by Masters- and PhD-Level Therapists who employ family training as well as a host of other clinical specialties. Additionally, Enterhealth offers many different levels of treatment throughout our continuum of care that are designed to address your specific addiction and psychiatric circumstances. We direct your specific treatment plan based on the overall health and wellness of your brain in order to accelerate its long-term healing.
SMART RECOVERY®
About SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery is an abstinence-oriented, not-for-profit organization for individuals with addictive problems. Self-empowering, free mutual support meetings focused on ideas and techniques to help you change your life from one that is self-destructive and unhappy to one that is constructive and satisfying. SMART Recovery does not use labels like “addict” or “alcoholic.” SMART teaches scientifically validated methods designed to empower you to change and to develop a more positive lifestyle.
Addictive behaviors can serve a purpose — to cope with life’s problems and emotional upsets. There can be drawbacks, however: while addictive behaviors may be effective coping methods in the short term, but they may cause harmful problems in the long term.
SMART focuses on learning coping skills that work well short- and long-term. Based on what addiction science has shown to be effective, SMART has adapted tools for change. Not much concerned with the past, except to learn from it. Focused on present-day events and the causes of self-destructive behaviors. SMART concentrates on what to do about them to achieve a positive lifestyle change, especially in the areas of our lives that are related to harmful addictive behavior.
Key Areas of Awareness and Change
SMART Recovery’s approach to behavioral change is built around our 4-Point Program®: (1) Building and maintaining the motivation to change. (2) Coping with urges to use. (3) Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in an effective way without addictive behaviors. (4) Living a balanced, positive, and healthy life.
Motives and Goals
Motivation is a key element in nearly all you do. Consider that all human beings share several primary goals: survival, the avoidance of pain, happiness. Any addictive behaviors you engage in are to pursue these primary goals. We can help you see that you may be meeting these goals short-term but impairing your ability to meet them in the long-term.
Beliefs
What you believe about addiction is important, and there are many beliefs to choose from. You may believe, for example, that you’re powerless, or that after the first drink you lose all control and can’t stop. These beliefs may actually be damaging to you. Similar examples include, “I’ve tried and failed, so I can’t do it. I need alcohol to cope.” Or, “Because I’ve tried to quit and failed, I’m no good.” Those beliefs, and many like them, can’t be justified because the evidence just doesn’t support them. We will help you identify, examine, and modify your beliefs about yourself, your problems, and how to change.
Emotions
People often engage in addictive behavior to cope with emotional problems, including anger, guilt, anxiety, and low self-esteem. SMART Recovery teaches you how to diminish your emotional disturbances and increase self-acceptance. Then you can have greater motivation and the ability to change and to live more happily.
Behaviors
Changes in thinking and emotions alone are not enough. Commitment and follow-through are essential. We encourage participants to become involved in enjoyable activities that replace their problematic addictive behaviors.
How SMART Provides Help
Our meeting format is straightforward and organized. Our facilitators are trained to follow the SMART Recovery program and principles to help participants change their behavior. Some of them have had addictive problems, and some haven’t. That doesn’t seem to make any difference. Remember, SMART Recovery is a mental health and educational program, focused on changing human behavior. SMART Recovery meetings are serious but often fun. We don’t dredge up the past, about which we can do nothing. We can do something about the present and the future. Our meeting discussions focus on how to apply SMART’s tools for change so that you can go on to lead a more productive and connected life. Near the end of the meeting, the “hat” is passed for donations, which are encouraged but not required.
Private Rooms
Enterhealth Ranch is purposely designed with you in mind. Starting with appointed private rooms, we provide you with the privacy and dignity you deserve, as well as your personal space for relaxation and healing. While you focus on your recovery, we take care of everything else: cleaning services and access to top-notch amenities designed for your comfort.
Enterhealth Private Rooms Include:
- A comfortable full-size bed
- A private bathroom
- Cable television
And, just outside your door, you can enjoy a dip in the swimming pool, or a workout in our fitness center. Of course, you’ll want to take advantage of 43 acres of beautiful, serene land that includes miles of walking and running trails and plenty of places to sit, relax and reflect.
Sustainable Sobriety Through Holistic Diet & Lifestyle
Enterhealth’s approach to sustainable sobriety integrates all components of a healthy lifestyle. This includes powerful tools to help change the emotional, physical, spiritual, and nutritional habits you may have so that you can achieve true, sustained recovery.
Because drug and alcohol addiction can deplete the body’s essential nutrients, diet plays a critical role in rehabilitation. We provide healthy chef-prepared meals and teach you how to eat better. In our fitness center, we will create a customized, consistent exercise regime to help you accelerate the whole-being healing of your physical body.
To provide ongoing care for your mind, support from your peers, and support from our professional staff, our outpatient rehab program offers a suite of continuing care services, as well as activities through the Enterhealth Alumni Association. After you leave the Ranch, we want you prepared to live a better, healthier lifestyle and attain a sustained recovery.
Conveniently located for patients living in North Texas traveling from afar, Enterhealth Ranch is located in Van Alstyne, Texas, just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area and an easy drive from DFW International and Dallas Love Field airports. Our physical address is at 524 North Lincoln Park Road.

Frequently Asked Questions
We want to answer all of your questions so that you’ll have confidence in selecting our drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and for you to have a comfortable, healing experience at Enterhealth Ranch.
WHY RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT?
We understand that residential drug and alcohol treatment is disruptive to families, careers and everyday life. But that’s the point. If a thorough assessment leads to a medical prescription or recommendation of residential care for your loved one, it’s because their brain needs disrupting in order to break the harmful patterns it has created. Every patient is unique, of course, but medical studies show that the optimal amount of time needed to reboot the brain’s chemistry and rewire its neurological pathways is about 45 to 90 days. A recent report by the U.S. Surgeon General supports that longer stays lead to more promising outcomes. We realize that sounds like a lot, but isn’t two to three months of effort now worth a lifetime of sobriety?
Additionally, people who enter residential treatment typically have problems that require combined medical, psychological and/or physical therapies over a sustained period of time in a controlled environment. Residential treatment is often the most practical and effective course of action.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO ENTER TREATMENT?
It’s an unfortunate myth that an addicted individual must hit “rock bottom” to be ready for treatment. Helping your loved one get help early in their addiction cycle will result in fewer accompanying psychological and physical problems and a better prognosis for long-term recovery. Furthermore, “rock bottom” is a dangerous place to be; for many addicts, that point is when a near-fatal or fatal overdose, serious accident or criminal justice consequence has occurred.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I CALL?
Calling may seem difficult especially during a time of crisis, but we are here to listen and to help. Whether you, a family member, a co-worker or a friend are experiencing problems with alcohol or drugs, we are here for you. We’ve assisted thousands of people by assessing the situation and walking them through viable options. With this first contact, we will find the right solution for your unique situation and guide you through the next steps.
Calling us is also a great way to get answers to your questions about the admissions process or to arrange a personal tour of our facilities.
