At Windmill Wellness Ranch, we go beyond conventional treatment methods. We use validated evaluation instruments at admission, enabling us to identify the most effective treatment plan for each individual. This unique strategy sets us apart and lets us deliver unrivaled care in the field of mental health and addiction recovery.

The tools we administer are:

Regular Assessments:

On a weekly
basis you or your loved one will be taking the following assessments; it has
been proven that these items must be monitored to achieve long-term wellness.
It is very easy to take these assessments on an ipad, but interpreting the
results is where WWR is way ahead,  our
staff is trained on how look at each of these scales below compared to one
another. This way they know exactly what needs to be worked on.

Windmill Wellness Ranch is a  clinician owned groundbreaking initiative by
Shannon Malish, conceived out of the compelling need for a comprehensive treatment
based on research. Her vision aimed to integrate established treatment
modalities with revolutionary therapeutic technologies. She identified a
distinct void within the U.S. healthcare system, where no holistic wellness
center was addressing co-occurring disorders in a manner that offered a lasting
restoration of mental and physical health.

In addition to focusing on
co-occurring disorders, Windmill Wellness Ranch extends a complete medical
detoxification wing for individuals requiring stabilization or reclamation. Many
are concerned about detoxification; this will not be a painful experience, with
24/7 nurses and providers we are with you through this.

We are proud American Society of
Addiction Medicine (ASAM) members and Joint Commission Accredited.

Our approach, grounded in research
and clinical expertise, underscores the importance of understanding the root
cause of disorders. We rely on a team of master-level clinical staff who
collaborate with psychiatrists to diagnose and treat underlying problems.
Rather than merely prescribing medication for anxiety or depression, we examine
the disorder’s origin in-depth. This method enables us to devise a personalized
treatment program using evidence-based practices.

We are conscious that alcohol and
substance abuse, such as the misuse of prescription pills or illicit drugs, are
symptoms of more comprehensive issues.

Addiction and Mental Health treatment
can be a daunting journey. To alleviate some of this difficulty, Windmill
Wellness Ranch is a dog-friendly facility. We have found having a canine
companion during treatment significantly enhances patient wellness and improves
success rates.

Windmill Wellness Ranch boasts a
success rate of approximately 86%, vastly surpassing the national average of 4-10%.
We diligently monitor our performance metrics through an independent third
party, Trac9. The data consistently indicates that the outcomes achieved at
Windmill Wellness Ranch greatly exceed any other centers.
