Treatment Insights
MBHATC takes a holistic approach toward recovery focusing more on the underlying causes and conditions of addiction. Treatment plans are tailored to suit each individual according to their unique situation. We recognize that recovery is a very personal journey, and although the disease may look similar in different individuals, no two people are the same.

- Equine Therapy
A form of animal therapy, equine therapy involves visiting, working with and sometimes riding horses as a way to create a metaphoric relationship that leads to life-altering insights.
- Holistic Therapy
Facilities that offer “holistic therapy” see and treat patients in the context of their entire lives and health status. They treat the “whole person,” not just the addiction.
