About The Fullbrook Center

The Fullbrook Center is an addiction treatment center for women that’s located in the city of Fredericksburg, Texas. They offer medical detox and residential treatment programs that last between 30 and 90 days, depending on your needs and progress. They have space for 29 women at a time.

Their facility is located on 10 sprawling acres of Texan countryside, ensuring your journey happens surrounded by tranquility and comfort. While staying at Fullbrook, you’ll have access to a pool, padel court, walkable labyrinth, homey bedrooms, and tons of gathering spaces designed to build connection between residents. They also have horses and goats on the premises, and you can watch their adorable antics in between treatment sessions.

Their treatment approach combines the 12-step method with evidence based methods like therapy, mindfulness skills, and attachment theory. Attachment theory examines the way your relationships and attachment style interact with substance use disorder. While looking at the history of your relationship dynamics, you can sometimes gain insight into the roots of addiction.

The treatment team also helps you work through past and current trauma, because substance use and trauma are often strongly related. They’ll help you identify unhealed wounds that have created unhealthy patterns of behavior, and then work with you to heal these wounds and rebuild your life.

The Fullbrook Center has a philosophy based on strength, connection, and freedom. Their aim is to help women find the strength needed to be vulnerable and heal, facilitate meaningful connection amongst women facing similar struggles, and give women freedom from addiction and trauma. Something special about their dynamic is their commitment to changing the narrative that women don’t (or can’t) get along with each other. They help you build encouraging and loving bonds with the other women in treatment, creating a powerful support system that you can carry with you for the rest of your life.

This place is absolutely horrific don’t send your loved one here if you want them to succeed. They will not let you talk to your family and the staff especially Admin are extremely belittling and condescending. They use scare tactics and things such as “attack therapy” which they call accountability group. On the one 5 minute phone call they give you (per week) if you state that you want to leave or switch facilities, they’ll end your call. You are never allowed to speak to your loved ones in private either. Myself as well as a lot of the girls i know there were miserable because of how badly the admin treated us. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. The owner who was barely ever there is the rudest woman ever.

They encourage my daughter not to release any information to myself (her mother) or her grandfather. She had a medical emergency and their doctor thought she should be medically discharged because of the seriousness of the problem. They wouldn't discharge her and she ended up being taken to the local er via ambulance. There the doctor stated in no uncertain terms that my daughter needed to be medically discharged. They are in it for the money and dont care about the patients.

If you are a mother of a daughter don’t go to this place. They will not let you talk to your daughter everything is secretive and the counselor will not return your phone call. I have left 12 messages begging to have a counselor speak to me and this counselor will not call back. They are great upon admission but once they get you in the counselor ruins and is not professional. I deserved the courtesy of a phone call. Did not expect personal information just basic timeline and information. I would never recommend this place because of this counselor.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

12-step icon12-Step

The 12-step program is a mainstay in the addiction recovery community. Its longevity and commitment to accountability has proven to be a invaluable component in the continued sobriety of millions across the world. Their staff will evaluate the patient life struggling with addiction, in order to determine if the 12-step program is right for them.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Peer support is an important aspect of group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction. As you and your peers share stories and encourage each other, it fosters a sense of community and belonging that helps you process your feelings and reduces the sense of isolation that is associated with addiction.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Awakenings Recovery has plans designed for the whole family at all of their facilities. These multi-day seminars help every member of the family understand the disease of addiction. Substance abuse is a sickness that reflects itself throughout the whole family. The addiction specialists will work with the patient's family to achieve forgiveness and the foundation for lasting sobriety.

The toll of addiction not only ravage the mind, but destroy the body. Many enter treatment with symptoms of malnourishment, or physical exhaustion and significant obesity. After the detox process (if prescribed), they can focus on restoring physical health through balanced meals and scheduled physical fitness. Maintaining a healthy physique can be a critical part to a lasting recovery. Returning to healthy patterns of sleep, emotion, and health allow the mind to fight addiction fully.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

When used as recommended, nicotine replacement therapy in Texas provides enough nicotine to help you avoid severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms after quitting smoking. This increases comfort so you're less likely to relapse into your smoking habit.

I referred a friend to Fullbrook, as I’ve known the executive staff for many years. Her experience was truly life-changing. The care she received was compassionate, professional, and effective. Despite previous years of struggle, she has remained sober and continues to thrive. Grateful!

Response from the owner
Meagan, thank you so much for your kind words.

This place is a joke. Reviews are not clients that have actually attended. They restrict and are super controlling and treat clients poorly. They cram AA down your throat with a fire poker instead of allowing you to really enjoy the book and the steps. People are miserable here and so are some of the staff. A few great nurses, great cooks and RA’s. Felons run the place and are counselors here. FYI LCDC’s can’t do trauma counseling and shouldn’t have recent convictions for public intoxication and others shouldn’t have so many felonies. The “takes one to know one” thinking is really taken deliberately as I wonder if some of these people would even be employable at any other company. This place causes trauma, don’t count on the infamous equine therapy that happens once a week for a select chosen 10 favorite “weather permitting”. Don’t buy boots and waste $300 as the admissions counselor will encourage. You won’t even see a horse while here let alone have any therapy with them. You may get lucky enough to see them in the 2 movies per weekend you are allowed if by chance the group chooses a rodeo flick. The staff allows cliques to form and constantly moves room assignments. For the most part, it’s AA all day everyday which is a free thing to join outside of a 35k rehab and the cost is a $5.00 book and 50 cents per cup of coffee, the willingness and effort to follow the book and work the steps, - minus the trauma, being forced to take meds, being restricted to a five minute phone call once per week and cut off from all news and world events. There is no co pay or deductibles to meet in AA and they all are there wanting to see you do the best you can. Save yourself from having to do inventory on a business as part of your outside resentments. They traumatize adults and treat them like children and when they have a medical mistake, they’ll talk you out of filing a complaint and not self report to the state. DON’T DO IT? GET TO A GREAT AA GROUP, BUILD SUPPORT AND SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR A 1 YEAR SOBRIETY TRIP INSTEAD. THIS PLACE HAS CHANGED ITS NAME AS WELL. AWAKENINGS HILL COUNTRY? (And now que more really fake reviews!). that’s what messed up places do.

"I recently completed a 35-day residency at Fullbrook recovery center, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I've ever made. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported in an environment that understood the complexities of addiction and trauma. The staff at Fullbrook were nothing short of amazing. Their expertise and compassion made all the difference in my recovery journey. The variety of programs offered—ranging from individual therapy sessions, small process groups and group activities—helped me unpack my experiences and develop healthy coping strategies. Over the course of my stay, I experienced profound personal growth. I learned valuable tools to manage my triggers and built a strong support network with fellow residents. The program not only addressed my addiction but also provided a safe space to heal from past traumas. I whole heartedly recommend Fullbrook Recovery Center to anyone seeking help. The compassionate care and comprehensive programs they offer truly changed my life, and I am now on a path to a healthier, happier future." I am now 90 days sober thanks to Fullbrook.

Response from the owner

Fullbrook honestly was one of the best places i’ve ever been to. I wish i would’ve stayed my full stay. Sometimes i wish i could go back. The staff are great and they care so much. It was very hard for me to be there because of my past placement history. But being there was sooo much different. They did everything in there power to make sure everyone felt welcome. And everyone is super nice. If i was to recommend anywhere to someone to get better i would 100 percent recommend fullbrook. They saved my life.

Response from the owner
Charlotte, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. It means the world to us to know that you felt truly cared for and supported—you're always part of the Fullbrook family, and we’re so proud to have been a part of your journey.

I don’t have the words to do justice in expressing my experience….at best… one of the greatest gifts from God…. Who knew I needed this journey before I did. The team is pure love…kind, caring, giving, knowledgeable, humble, generous, empathetic, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile to help and walk the walk with those who are willing to surrender. It is evident that the process and program have been intimately and organically designed to help each person rediscover their truth, to heal, and to develop the tools to reach their God given potentials. I am enternally grateful and highly recommended to everyone . Rating….100%

Imke, your words truly mean the world to us. It’s an absolute honor to be part of your journey, and we’re so grateful that Fullbrook could be a place of healing, growth, and transformation for you.
