I went into rehab scared, and unknowing of what to expect. Once I got there, Robert (head tech) and Angie (one of the many amazing nurses) made me feel very safe & welcomed me, explained the rules in detail and were willing to help me with whatever I needed. I did the intake process & got settled into detox. The next few days I went to classes and they opened my eyes to staying longer than my original plan which was just for detox. I stayed the whole 45 day program and it was the best decision for me.
Some days were harder than others but the technicians - like Courtney, Karissa, Raven, Tito, Chris, JJ, and Sonny. - really made such a huge difference in my stay. Not only do some of them teach the courses but they are with us day to day & get to help us in some of the darkest toughest moments. Others that really helped were counselors - like Andrew, Jennifer, Chelsea, and Katie - with the curriculum, and sessions placed to help us not have to worry about outside troubles, and just to feel comfortable in our recovery. It made all the difference. And for the aftercare, there is Ripple Ranch Continuum Outreach Program, and our fantastic alumni coordinator Skyler Wellman. If anyone needs literally anything ever, he’s the man to go too, his heart and passion for the recovery in every stage is beautiful and awe inspiring. ✨
Not to mention the wonderful chefs in the kitchen who make us 3 wonderful tasty meals a day.
And Ms.Nettie - can’t forget that most amazing woman✨💛 kept me strong even when I didn’t think I had anymore left in me. 🌸✨
Ripple became my home for 45 days when I needed it the very most. The connections I’ve made there will last a lifetime & I am so so grateful for it. ✨💛

About Ripple Ranch Recovery Center
Getting started at Ripple Ranch begins with a phone call to the admissions team. From there, the clinical team assesses each client’s needs and builds a treatment plan. The continuum of care includes medically supervised detox, residential treatment, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for those who need it. Ripple Ranch treats a range of substance use disorders, including alcohol, heroin, fentanyl, meth, cocaine, and prescription drugs, alongside co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and trauma.
Treatment at Ripple Ranch incorporates a philosophy the team calls the “Ripple Effect,” addressing mind, body, and emotions through evidence-based therapy alongside holistic offerings like yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and nutritional support. Some of the amenities available at this top-tier facility include a swimming pool, workout room, scenic trails around campus, and more.
Once residential treatment is complete, Ripple Ranch connects clients with its partner program called Continuum Outpatient Center, creating a seamless transition rather than an abrupt discharge. After completing outpatient programming, clients stay connected through an active alumni program that encourages accountability and community.

Reviews
Ripple Ranch was exactly what I needed and I am grateful for the staff, medical team, and counselors. I joined at one of the lowest points in my life and the work was not easy but the support from the team pushed me through the program and greatly improved my recovery and sobriety. The team cares about their alumni and treats you with dignity, care, and love. Very grateful they had me as a patient and I would recommend going if you are serious about getting sober.
Not only is the inpatient treatment portion totally rad; the follow up with the alumni portion is amazing. They possess the best alumni program in Texas.
This is the place where I learned to love myself enough to heal the trauma and pain that kept me stuck in addictive patterns.
This beautiful place is surrounded by healing nature and wildlife.
with options for dual diagnosis, you can assess more than one monster SUDS or mental health.
As a mental health primary, I had access to options I never knew existed before Ripple Ranch. Equine therapy, EMDR, Canine therapy, CBT, DBT not to mention the staff that feels like family. At Ripple Ranch you are more than JUST a client, you are truly cared for. I lost my grandmother while I was there and the staff accommodated me so I could attend the funeral through virtual means. They truly supported me through multiple crisis. At no point was I EVER on my own to just figure it out. Even now I am a part of something greater. When you graduate you become an Alumni and we continue to have that same community support to ensure we remain strong and confident in our recovery.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who is struggling they will help support you however they can. Remember you are brave. You are strong. And you are WORTHY of a better life!

Ripple Ranch Recovery Center will always hold a very special place in my heart. Walking through those doors was one of the hardest and most important decisions I have ever made, and looking back, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.
When I arrived, I was struggling, hurting, and trying to find my way back to myself. Ripple Ranch gave me something I desperately needed: a safe place to heal, people who genuinely cared, and the opportunity to understand that recovery is about so much more than simply getting sober. It’s about healing the person underneath the addiction, learning why we hurt, understanding our patterns, rebuilding our confidence, and discovering that there is still a life worth fighting for.
The staff were absolutely phenomenal. Courtney, Chris, Raven, Johanna, Andrew, Jennifer, Kaitie Moore, Sam, Jacob, Tito, Sandra, and the medical staff all made an impact on me in different ways. I will forever be grateful for the compassion, patience, understanding, encouragement, and kindness they showed me during some of the hardest days of my life. Not to mention the many more that are behind the scenes as well with Continuum!
There were days when I was emotional, scared, frustrated, or simply exhausted, but I was never made to feel like I was too much or not worth helping. I was reminded that healing isn’t always pretty, and recovery isn’t always easy, but it is possible.
Ripple Ranch helped me begin rebuilding my life. I left with tools, perspective, hope, and a stronger understanding of myself. Most importantly, I left believing in my future again.
To anyone who is scared to walk through those doors: I understand. I was scared too. You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just have to be willing to take that first step.
Ripple Ranch wasn’t just a place where I went to get sober. It became part of my story, part of my healing, and part of the reason I’m still here fighting for the life I deserve.
I will forever be grateful. ❤️
Thank you, Ripple Ranch, for helping me find my way back to myself.
10/10. 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ripple Ranch really changed my life for the better. I was one of the youngest clients there but never felt out of place for a second. The staff and community helped me learn so much about myself and my addiction. I have regained my life back and I couldn’t have done it without Ripple.
This is a great place i graduated residential treatment there on 6/23/26 and my caseworker Kaitie Moore helped me get into Mastermind Recovery in San Antonio Tx and one of the things that she told and showed me through Mastermind brochure that Mastermind would pay for my first month rent in their sober living $800 upon completion. Now I'm over $1000 in the hole without a way to pay it .As i weight on finishing the drug treatment PHP i get further in the red so that by the time i get the money paid for PHP approximately 3weeks after i graduated i will be approximately $2000 in the red .IOP is the next step and it is promised by mastermind that me being in IOP that would pay for 1/2 months rent of $400 leaving a $400 month balance. Here is the scam It took me 2weeks to get into PHP adding up to a negative balance of $350 plus the $100 deposit =$450 to move in The money for the promised paid for rent has to come from Africa according to the addicts that's hired on by Mastermind who controls the balance taking additional $800 in the red adding up to $1250 in the red Once i start IOP the promise by mastermind is to pay 1/2 months rent leaving $400 left over =$1100 in the red. I was placed on a renal agreement non compliance notice even though I'm broke and cant get a job because i don't have ID placing me in fear of being kicked out of sober living leaving me homeless and displace leading to RELAP and my insurance who spent money for me to get better would start all over again because its well known the success of a homeless person would not and could not determine where he would end up at at night. The recipe seems to be get as much money from my insurance company and then start me back over again and push me on to their network buddies to take more insurance money. The way that mastermind brochure explain it is that these deals for paying for rent would help success. WHY DONT THIS ADD UP?
The people that work there still check up on me and everyone is a true blessin I’m so glad I went there
