About Blue Heron Recovery
Blue Heron Recovery is an 18-acre setting designed to support adults who are working through substance abuse. Services are offered at the center in San Antonio, Texas and include partial hospitalization (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient therapy (OP). Plans typically require a commitment of one to six months.
The approach focuses on helping clients interrupt the addiction cycle by building healthier coping skills. Treatment is tailored to each person and may include individual and group therapy, reality- and solution-oriented counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Creative options such as art and music therapy are also available. Clients learn tools for stress management and improved social skills, and medication management can be provided when appropriate. The center promotes wellness through activities like fishing, gardening, cooking classes, fitness sessions, biking, and yoga, all offered on-site.
In addition to clinical care, Blue Heron Recovery highlights the role of community in lasting recovery. Clients are encouraged to take part in weekly family dinners, educational meetings, and community events alongside their family members or trusted friends.
