A Different Kind of Addiction Treatment
Windmill Wellness Ranch treats adults for substance use, and treats the trauma, depression, PTSD, and anxiety underneath it at the same time rather than leaving it for later. Master’s-level clinicians work alongside psychiatrists to find where the disorder begins.
Detox, residential treatment, and outpatient care all happen on one dog-friendly 75-acre ranch in Canyon Lake, about an hour from both Austin and San Antonio, and your recovery coach stays with you for life. Whether you are calling for yourself or for someone you love, our admissions team can tell you in one conversation whether this is the right fit.
Life on the Ranch
Lodge-style housing, open Hill Country, and room to breathe while you do the work.
What Makes Windmill Different
Six things you will not find together at most addiction treatment centers.
A 75-Acre Ranch, Dogs Welcome
Walking trails, a gym, an outdoor pool, sports courts, and lodge-style housing. Bringing your dog is encouraged, because a canine companion measurably improves outcomes.
Length of Stay Based on Goals
You move forward when the clinical work says you are ready, not when a calendar or a benefit cycle says your time is up.
A Complete Medical Detox Wing
Detox happens here, not somewhere else first. Nurses and providers are on site 24/7 to support you through it, with a full-time medical provider five days a week.
3 Individual Sessions a Week
Every client is assigned a master's-level diagnostic therapist and meets one-on-one 3 times a week, compared with the single weekly session that is typical elsewhere.
Patented Brain Frequency™
Windmill Wellness Ranch holds the patent on Brain Frequency™, a q-EEG brain mapping technology available for clients to add on to their treatment. Where it is used, the brain map guides how your plan is shaped. Ask admissions whether it fits your situation.
A Recovery Coach for Life
Your coach plans your discharge and aftercare, then stays available to you for as long as you want them, backed by The Windmill Guarantee.
Outcomes We Can Actually Show You
Our results are measured by Trac9, an independent third-party outcomes platform, not by us.

Safe, Supervised Medical Detox
For many people the first real obstacle is simply getting through withdrawal. Our complete medical detoxification wing handles that here, with nurses and providers on site 24/7 to support you through the detox process and a full-time medical provider five days a week.
Because detox happens on the same ranch where treatment continues, there is no transfer, no second intake, and no gap between stabilizing and starting the deeper work.
Treating the Addiction and What Sits Beneath It
Our approach is grounded in research and focused on the root cause of each disorder rather than the symptom. Master’s-level clinicians collaborate with psychiatrists to diagnose and treat what is underneath, so instead of prescribing for anxiety or depression and stopping there, we look at where the disorder begins.
That includes a full array of trauma modalities such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and sound healing, plus our patented Brain Frequency™ technology, which uses q-EEG brain mapping to guide how your plan is shaped.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I or my loved one start treatment?+
Our admissions team answers around the clock. One call tells you what is currently available, what your insurance covers, and what arriving would actually look like. There is no obligation attached to asking.
Do you provide medical detox on site?+
Yes. Windmill Wellness Ranch has a complete medical detoxification wing, so you do not need to detox somewhere else first and then transfer. Nurses and providers are on site 24/7, with a full-time medical provider five days a week.
Do you treat mental health conditions alongside addiction?+
Yes, and the program was built for it. We treat adults with a substance use disorder, and our master's-trained clinicians specialize in mental health and trauma, so the depression, anxiety, or trauma underneath the addiction is treated at the same time rather than after.
How long will treatment last?+
Length of stay is set by your goals and your clinical progress, not by a fixed calendar. Weekly assessments track how you are actually doing, and your care team uses them to decide what to focus on next and when you are ready for the next level of care.
Will my insurance cover it?+
Windmill Wellness Ranch accepts many major insurance plans. Send your information through our contact form or call us, and the admissions team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage in plain language before you decide anything.
Can I call about my son, daughter, or spouse?+
Yes, and many of the calls we take come from family members. Our admissions team can walk you through options, verify benefits, and talk through how to approach the conversation at home. You do not need your loved one to be on the phone for that first call.
What actually makes Windmill different from other treatment centers?+
Independently verified outcomes through Trac9, patented Brain Frequency™ q-EEG brain mapping that shapes your care plan, three individual therapy sessions a week instead of one, detox on site, and a recovery coach who stays with you for life. All of it on a dog-friendly 75-acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country.
