Canyon Lake, Texas – Windmill Wellness Ranch has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2025 list, a national ranking that highlights top facilities across the United States. For the team at Windmill Wellness Ranch, this recognition is another reminder that the work happening every day on the ranch is changing lives.
Windmill Wellness Ranch sits on 75 acres in Canyon Lake, Texas, and serves adults seeking help for drug or alcohol addiction along with co-occurring mental health conditions. Over the years, the ranch has become known for outcome-focused care and a treatment model called The Windmill Way, which blends technology, neurotherapy, and trauma-informed clinical services.
How the Newsweek Ranking Works
To build the 2025 list, Newsweek partnered with Statista, an independent market research and data firm. The rankings are based on several different types of information rather than a single score.
Among the inputs:
- A nationwide survey of medical professionals and addiction treatment leaders
- Accreditation and services data reported to SAMHSA
- Additional information on treatment centers also drawn from SAMHSA
- Online patient feedback, including Google Reviews, used as a measure of experience and satisfaction
Centers that appear on the list perform well across these areas, showing strong reputations, appropriate accreditation, and positive feedback from the people they serve.
Why This Recognition Matters
For the staff and leadership at Windmill Wellness Ranch, the Newsweek honor is less about a badge and more about what it represents: clients making real progress in their recovery.
On the ranch, clients have access to:
- Residential treatment for substance use disorders
- Dual-diagnosis care that addresses mental health and addiction together
- Trauma-focused therapies and advanced neurotechnology
- Ongoing support that extends beyond a single level of care
Outcome data and tools such as Trac9 are used to track how clients are doing over time and to guide adjustments in treatment. That focus on results is a core part of The Windmill Way and a key reason the team believes the ranch stood out in the Newsweek evaluation.
We’re extremely honored to receive this recognition from Newsweek,” said Ani Narasimhan, CEO at Windmill Wellness Ranch. “Everyone at Windmill Wellness Ranch is so proud of The Windmill Way – our unique technology and experience that consistently produces top addiction treatment outcomes nationally." Now to receive this award from Newsweek is very gratifying as we strive to deliver Measurable Results & Life-Changing Recovery for our clients.
