In these cases, it's often become a coping tool, a habit, or a hidden priority. Does this sound like someone you know?

Recent Teen Su***de Highlights Dangers of Unsupervised AI Among Youth
More people than ever are turning to the Internet and artificial intelligence (AI) tools for answers about their health, mental health, and even spiritual lives. But when it comes to mental health, the stakes are too high to rely on unvetted guidance. With mental health, AI can't read 'body language' and other human clues for underlying issues and needs for help.
We often trust anything labeled “natural,” but that doesn’t always mean harmless. Some substances being sold as "all natural," like kratom, 7OH, or cannabis concentrates, can carry serious risks.

Regardless Of Affiliation - The Stress Of Trauma Is Almost Universal
News of Charlie Kirk’s recent assination has been deeply unsettling. Whether or not one agrees with his views, most can agree that increasing violence, paired with the flood of media and social media coverage, can weigh heavily on our collective mental health.
Our minds and bodies often react with stress responses. These are normal reactions. But those who are already vulnerable, such as people with anxiety disorders or previous episodes of post-traumatic stress (PTSD), may be particularly affected.

The Reality of Kratom & 7-OH from
Treatment Professionals on the Front Lines

🚨 New & Dangerous Drug Alert: 7-OH (a.k.a. On7, 7Tabz) 🚨
You’ve heard of fentanyl, but there’s a new opioid threat gaining ground—and it’s being sold legally in gas stations and online.
🧪 7-OH is a powerful chemical derived from kratom, sold as “natural” chewables and vapes… but it’s not safe. It’s addictive. It’s unregulated. And it’s already been linked to overdoses and deaths.
People in recovery may think it’s a safer option—it’s not.

Windmill Wellness Ranch is a co-occurring inpatient and outpatient treatment center for alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental health issues. We have a full medical detoxification wing for those that need stabilization or detoxification.
It is located on a 75-acre ranch settled in 1840 in the beautiful Texas Hill Country on the north side of Canyon Lake. Nearby cities are Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Boerne, and Fredericksburg. We serve patients from all over the United States.
Windmill Wellness Ranch was created out of necessity. It became clear to some of the most experienced Clinicians and Doctors that Texas did not have a holistic wellness center that addressed co-occurring disorders at a level that truly restored a person’s mental and psychical health for good. WWR is the only center designated by the State of Texas as a COSPD (co-occuring psychiatric disorders) facility.
Many people have sought help but were unable to get what they need, this was due to what is required to truly treat the entire person. Research and experience shows that addressing the underlying disorder takes Master’s Level Clinical staff to diagnosis and then treat the problem. This is done in conjunction with a psychiatrist. We do not simply give you a pill for depression or anxiety, we examine where that disorder originated. We then treat this using evidenced based practice. Many have not recognized that alcohol or substances i.e. prescription pills, illegal drugs are a symptom of a larger issue. If that issue is not addressed and treated the cycle will continue. We recognize we are dealing with individuals that need to address these issues and left unaddressed can be lethal.
The mission of Windmill Wellness Ranch is to improve the physical, spiritual and emotional health of the individual and their family through an integrated healing system of the latest technology irTMS from Brain Frequency Center, Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing (EMDR), intensive therapy , group support, nursing, and psychiatry.
We believe that transformation in recovery involves individualized treatment to heal any underlying issues while treating the brain with a personalized approach to restore balance using PrTMS.
Our multidisciplinary staff is trained to help with trauma, depression MDD, PTSD, substance abuse/ dependance, anxiety, mood disorders, TBI/concussion, ADHD, OCD, sleep disorders, chronic pain and behavioral addictions.
We strive to build a strong community of recovery that will last a lifetime.
