Apply for LVN (PRN)

Situated off Highway 183 between Austin and Lockhart, Texas, the campus at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch spans 200 acres of ranchland, forest, ponds and native scrub. Our treatment team takes full advantage of this setting for experiential therapy — using movement, nature, and hands-on activities to engage the brain and body together. Here’s how it works: Talk therapy helps people understand what’s driving their behavior. Experiential work helps them start to change it. It’s like the difference between reading a map and walking the trail. This is where we break through stuck patterns, deepen emotional insight, and build the kinds of habits that support long-term recovery.
