Austin Recovery's Women's Program is located on the Edith Royal Campus, our eight-acre wooded site in Northeast Austin. Clients receive both individual and group therapy sessions along with lectures, experiential therapies, music & art sessions, yoga, drumming and exercise classes. A full daily schedule of clinical activities keep our clients fully engaged in their recovery while providing a level of services that match or exceed programs of far greater cost. Our women's program uses the our Transformation Treatment Model designed especially for women to bring about the emotional and spiritual changes needed for a full and rewarding recovery.
AR is committed to the emotional and physical safety of our clients.
Clients progress at their own pace through the first five steps of the Twelve Step program. Each client completes an individualized treatment plan that is frequently updated and focuses on helping her identify and resolve relapse issues while successfully transitioning to the next level of care.
Weekly family visitation is encouraged and clients are escorted to outside 12 Step meetings in the nearby community. Volunteers from the recovery community, including Austin Recovery's own Alumni Association bring frequent meetings to our women and provide them with opportunities for finding fellowship and sponsors in recovery when they leave the treatment.
(Lengths of stay are generally thirty to forty-five days.)
Women with Children's Program
Austin Recovery is one of only a handful of treatment centers in Texas offering women the opportunity to bring their children with them into treatment. When a mother does not have a safe place for her kids, a barrier is created that often keeps a woman from receiving the treatment she needs. For more than 20 years, Austin Recovery's Family House has pioneered this highly specialized form of treatment providing quality services to a mom and up to two of her children. Young children attend school during the day while toddlers are transported to a nearby day care program. Mothers then participate in a full daily schedule until the children return to be with them in the afternoon. A state grant affords women 60 days of treatment for themselves and specialized therapies for their young children. Self-funded clients can also avail themselves of this special service.
