Best Austin, TX Drug Rehab Centers

Long story short, 35 years of hard drinking landed me in a ditch in a city I'm not even from. But I thank GOD every day for it! My desperation for change got me to Briarwood detox center. I was so scared but I was unusually willing to do anything, the night before waking up in that ditch I was contemplating suicide, again. For so many years I watched my life fall apart time and time again, over and over. I really never understood why I was unable to control my drinking. Leaving Briarwood and while being transported to Nova recovery center I didn't know what to expect but my anger and anxiety were already building. I still can't get over how amazing Nova looks, it pretty much relaxes you the minute you arrive! I had never been to "rehab" before so I was blown away by the beauty of the amenities and the attentive staff. So with that said, I was sweet and grateful to be there for about 48 hours and then I started being the walking talking character defect stage character I was, telling everyone how they should do their jobs and finding things, if not inventing things to complain about. I still get embarrassed sometimes of my actions and comments I made the first weeks of my stay. But what stands out is how the staff didn't even blink! I never got the reaction I would of deserved! I was loved on! I was given understanding and compassion! They treated me like the sick person who needed help, that I was! They dug in and held me accountable with truth and what I referrer to as grace. The Recovery specialist who work with us, for us and teach us vital solutions to my disease of alcoholism that I will be forever grateful for. From the frequent individual counseling sessions to the daily group counseling classes to the, "hey I need to talk!", I received an understanding of how to maintain my life of sobriety! Nova is a very important and special place to me so I could really go on and on but the main point I want to testify about is this, I'm truly a better person today because of the dedication to helping people by the Nova recovery family! Sincerely, Dustin❤️

Place is fantastic! One of my relatives completed the program, and their progress has been remarkable.

I really needed some accountability and to be around other sober people after a relapse on alcohol in August. I signed up for the online IOP service and my counselor was Jasmine. She was amazing. I found myself looking forward to group everyday and felt a great relief of wanting to use after group. It helped me stay sober and maintain abstinence from alcohol I am truly grateful for the program. Jasmine is amazing and I consider her a good friend at this point she was able to talk me out of using my stinking thinking a lot of times and evaluate my situations from another perspective, which helped me get away from the parts of me that contribute to relapse.

Great facility and team! They truly care about providing the best patient experience. Keep up the great work!

Nicely ran

Professional, patient, understanding, comforting, and clean! Those are the 5 top descriptions that first come to mind when I think of briarwood.

Our experience with Alpha has been nothing short of transformative for my 15-year-old son. When we first sought help following my son's overdose, I was overwhelmed with concern and uncertainty. But from the very first phone call, the staff made us feel supported and heard. The intake process was smooth, and they took the time to carefully explain every step of the program, ensuring we were fully informed and comfortable moving forward. The team of counselors, therapists, and support staff is exceptional. They truly understand the challenges young people face and have a unique ability to connect with teens in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. My son has made incredible progress, thanks to their individualized approach that takes into account not only the addiction itself, but also the emotional, psychological, and social factors that contribute to it. What stands out most about this center is their holistic approach. They don’t just treat the addiction—they work on building self-esteem, coping strategies, and life skills that are crucial for long-term success. The therapists created a safe space for my son to open up, express his feelings, and rebuild trust. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the well-being of their patients and their families. The outpatient program was tailored to my son's needs, allowing us to balance treatment with school and other activities. The center also encourages family involvement and offers parental support and therapy, which has been crucial for my understanding and support of my son's recovery journey. The progress I've seen in my teenager over the past few months is remarkable. Not only has he shown an improved attitude toward his recovery, but I've also noticed a significant positive shift in his overall mood and outlook on life. We are beyond grateful to Alpha for giving our family hope and helping my teenager reclaim his future. If you're looking for a compassionate, professional, and effective treatment program for a young person struggling with addiction, I wholeheartedly recommend Alpha 180. They truly saved my son and gave us the tools we need to continue on this journey together. Jenn Parent of Alpha Patient

Alpha BH is such a good resource for adult men, as well as adolescent boys and girls who struggle with Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health. I have personally sent around 5 men here, and all have reported back positive feedback about the program, and all say the staff there truly care. Plus, they’re located deep in the heart of Austin!

I am grateful to Alpha for the wonderful and effective program they've designed. Mental health and related services have been hit-or-miss for our family, but Alpha has been such a great combination of evidence-based programming, support, love, and a pathway to independence for young men with struggles.

Infinite put a huge impact on my life and and truly grateful for the center and all of the employees there that want nothing but the best for each client and they helped me go everything I couldn’t do for myself and helped change me and my future life for the best. I truly couldn’t be any happier! Much love and bliss to everyone involved

Great program highly recommend

Amazing. Life changing! People that want me to succeed and have a happy life 💖

Not only to myself, but to Sage, I owe a depth of gratitude for my success in my journey towards sobriety. From the clinicians/techs/chefs & more, comfortable amenities and daily structure in wellness activity provided the best opportunity for success. This journey, though not easy, wouldn't be possible had I not sought out help from Sage Recovery. My life has improved tremendously as a healthier human and my mental health struggles faced head-on. Thank you! I would recommend 100%.

Great facility with staff that truly cares!

I have waited for over a year to write this review to ensure my time at Sage was indeed "life-changing". I can now confidently say, my decision to seek therapy there was one of the best decisions I have ever made. For over 30 years I struggled with depression and anxiety and turned to alcohol to cope. But thanks to the therapists and counselors at the center, I now have the resources to manage my emotions in a healthy way. I feel like I've regained control of my life, and I'm excited to move forward with a new sense of confidence and purpose. I also attend their alumni group, which offers individuals free, weekly social events that provide ongoing support, education, and networking opportunities. It's an excellent resource for anyone in recovery who wants to continue their journey towards wellness and a better life. Overall, I would highly recommend Sage Recovery Center to anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues. The environment is wonderful, the people are fantastic, and the support you receive is truly "life-changing". If you're looking for a place to help you get back on track, this is it.

Music was key to my recovery. Very professional staff, clean facilities and thoughtful dual diagnosis approach to recovery.

I rediscovered my self here. I love recovery unplugged. Coming in off the streets with no home and no money but lucky enough to have health insurance I came through not knowing what to expect. They say home is where the heart is and I'm having growing pains after my 9 week stay. I love all the people i met from residential and php there were Many coming in and many moving forward. Each person inspired me in many ways. I was always learning something. it was a true blessing to have the ability to learn and grow in an environment that encourages the rediscovery in self authenticity, healthy coping skills, music and art therapy. Personalized trauma and family therapy and groups on addiction and over coming negative self talk. Learning how to forgive self and others. Heal. And heal and more healing in a safe vulnerable environment. The the community is full of all forms of love residents, alumni and staff all show up as one in creating this magical environment and experience. Shout out to the whole nursing staff at Alb- road. All the techs( Garret, mia, bailey, ect..ect.at Alb -road and all the therapists and Paulina too even though she still owes me a plate of Mole'. Thankyou Liliana- Lili) for asking me the tough questions, forcing my growth through gentle guidance and listening to me ramble. I love you. I love all of you, my love is real. At php the techs maintain the same outstanding level of care as residential. Thankyou matt, Tony,Brandon, Alex, Nico, Claire..ect...ect... You have a piece of my heart with you . Thankyou for having my back. PhiL, Ross, Bri-ttany, new chick jess. Y'all are amazing and probably have the best job in the building I'm gonna miss hanging out with y'all. Jaime in nursing thankyou for having my back multiple times. I will miss our laughter. Chloe in case management thankyou for listening to me and making magic happen you went above and beyond and made me feel like you've been helping people for years. The light worker you are. Thankyou for your effort. Brent, I love you bro I never once ever disliked your morning discussions in fact I looked forward to them every day. One of the highlights of my treatment. Pls never forget the light worker you are. Tracy your empathy is worth mentioning because it takes a very strong person to feel as much as you, guide, shape, and mold as you do, And be as vulnerable as you are. You work within the light never forget the light that you are. Tina, lulu and shawntil thankyou for the fun groups. Last but not least. Douglas my guide, my teacher, my brother I love you man. You surpassed everything I wanted and needed you to be .. we really went to work you and I, and I needed it.. you define the light, a mentor, a friend.. you are someone I will always look up too and think fondly of for the rest of my life.. Thankyou for being my therapist. It had to be Lili and then it had to be you... I appreciate everything you both gave because without being able to talk about certain things I wouldn't have come to the realization or understanding of past trauma and unhealthy viewpoints and coping mechanisms. And none of this would have happened.. I really appreciate recovery unplugged if you can't tell and this is by far the longest review or message or anything I've ever typed on my phone sober so love, peace, and blessings to all who read. Thankyou Recovery unplugged.

From darkness to harmony — music helped me find my rhythm again. At this center, every beat brought healing, every lyric brought light. I didn’t just recover; I rediscovered myself through sound. Now, I’m not just surviving — I’m singing my truth. This place gave me my voice back

I showed up wrecked from fentanyl, thinking nothing could help. But the program here hit different & helped to cut through the haze. Detox was rough, no lie, but RU & the staff kept me going. Now I’m clean, and for the first time in forever, I am happy.

I came though this program a broken man. I was tired and my life was in shambles. My hurts habits and hang-ups had destroyed every single relationship I've ever had. I was morally, spiritually and physically bankrupt with no hope of a future aside from jail, insanity, or death. I spent the best years of my life hidden in a bottle and substance use to avoid the hurt and hopelessness i was running from. When I walked though the doors of RU they surrounded me and loved me until I could learn to love myself. This Program didn't just solve the my abuse but helped me become a thriving and impactful person in my community and reattached me to my faith. I now host open an open mic once a week for singers and songwriters downtown and volunteer on the worship team once a week. Life is beautiful and hopeful. Thank you Recovery Unplugged

This place was an amazing experience for me. The detox process was beyond comforting thanks to the nurses and entire staff. The groups we did in the residential program along with the therapy sessions were very beneficial and meaningful. Every staff member was relatable, caring and professional. The RU family assisted/guided me through every step of this journey including even when I left detox/residential. The people here really do care and want the best for you!
