The Journey to Lasting Healing

What Previous Attempts Can Teach Us About Healing

Healing involves what you’ve been through, what you’re doing now, and how you build on it. Learn more through this breakdown of our 2024 Clinical Outcomes Report.

Why We Ask About Past Treatment

When clients come to Ripple Ranch, we don’t just ask what brought them here. We ask: What’s worked before? What hasn’t? What’s still unresolved

Whether this is someone’s first time in treatment or their tenth, the journey still matters. When we understand that journey, we can tailor a plan that finally sticks. In 2024, we asked every client about their past treatment experiences. And here’s what they told us.

2024: How Many Times Have Clients Been to Treatment?

Here’s what clients shared about their recovery history before Ripple Ranch:

  • 44%: No prior treatment experience
  • 23%: 1 previous treatment
  • 17%: 2-3 prior treatments
  • 9%: 4-6 prior treatments
  • 2%: 7-9 prior treatments
  • 5%: 10+ prior treatments


That means over half of our clients in 2024 came in with some history of treatment, and 5% had been to 10 or more programs before finding us.

No two stories are the same. Your treatment should reflect that.

This Isn’t a Red Flag – It’s a Roadmap

This data doesn’t discourage us. It tells us:

  • Clients are still willing to try, even after setbacks.
  • They’re looking for something different, something that works.
  • And they chose Ripple Ranch to be the place where it finally does.


Every previous attempt at recovery gives us insight and valuable clues that help us tailor care in a way no one-size-fits-all program ever could.

Maybe they connected deeply with a therapist but felt lost in group sessions. Maybe the program addressed their substance use, but never touched the trauma underneath. Or maybe they left too early, without the right aftercare in place.

Whatever the story, we listen closely because understanding what helped, what hurt, and what’s been left unresolved gives us the blueprint to build something better this time. Our team fully believes that no prior treatment experience is wasted – every chapter informs the one we’re writing now.

At Ripple Ranch, we value your story and use it to leverage your future success.
Let us help you rewrite the narrative of your life and empower you toward lasting fulfillment and autonomy.

Relapse Isn’t Failure—It’s Feedback

Recovery isn’t always linear. Setbacks happen. In fact, national data shows relapse rates for substance use disorders hover between 40 and 60%.

But at Ripple Ranch, we don’t treat relapse like a moral failure – we treat it like a moment of clarity. A chance to retool, reflect, and re-engage with even more intention.

To redirect after relapse, we provide:

  • Individualized plans that factor in each client’s full story, not just their diagnosis.
  • Trigger mapping and skill-building that helps clients anticipate stress and respond without relapsing.
  • Motivational Interviewing to reignite internal drive, even when ambivalence creeps in.
  • Group and family support to rebuild trust and reduce isolation.


And most of all: We keep showing up.

The Ripple Ranch Difference

We understand what it means to try again. We’re not here to judge the past – we’re here to make the next step stronger than the last.

Some of our clients came here after one attempt, and some after ten. But, the result we care about is the same: that they leave more grounded, more prepared, and more hopeful than when they arrived.

Whether this is your first time in treatment or your fifth, your next chapter starts now.
Reach out to Ripple Ranch, because this time, we’re building the plan with you.
