Austin, TX Drug Rehab & Substance Abuse Treatment Center
Serving Austin, Texas and surrounding areas, Renewal Lodge features a short-term inpatient drug rehab program in a dual diagnosis setting.
Our rehab program is specially designed for chronic relapsers and first-time treatment goers alike. As the leader in in-network insurance coverage, we’re committed to helping families and their loved ones searching for affordable addiction treatment.
Austin's Substance Abuse Landscape
Austin may be known for its live music and vibrant culture, but like many densely populated cities, it’s also a hotbed of substance abuse issues. We’ve seen firsthand how addiction affects individuals, families, and our community as a whole. From illicit substances to prescription drugs, the face of drug addiction in Austin is diverse and complex.
On the other hand, Austin is home to a robust network of treatment options, support groups, and professionals dedicated to helping people find their path to recovery. And that’s where we come in.
"At Renewal Lodge, we integrate mindfulness and emotional intelligence. These are powerful skills our clients never knew they needed."
The Disease of Addiction in Austin Doesn’t Discriminate
Addiction is a disease that doesn’t discriminate – it affects people from all walks of life, from students at UT Austin to tech professionals and everyone in between.
Families should know the following about addiction:
- Addiction is a chronic disease, not a moral failing
- It often co-occurs with mental health issues
- Genetic, environmental, and personal factors all play a role
- Recovery is possible with the right support and treatment
What's Different About the Drug Rehab Program at Renewal Lodge
Renewal Lodge offers an inpatient drug rehab program in a dual-diagnosis setting that blends the 12 Steps with Mindfulness to create a groundbreaking modality for treatment. Mindfulness is an ancient practice of being aware of your thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and emotions.
Mindfulness is not religiously affiliated, but instead helps our clients deepen their understanding of sobriety. Mindfulness practices complement Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Steps. This cutting edge treatment approach is supported by world-class clinical and therapeutic support.
What Makes Our Program Unique:
- Residential treatment programs are offered for 30, 60 or 90 days
- Our facility is co-ed but utilizes gender-specific process groups six days a week
- We practice an integrated treatment approach by combining evidenced-based mindfulness skills and 12 step modalities.
- Our programs include recovery-based lectures, process groups, meditation, and individual treatment plans
Why We Use Mindfulness in Our Austin Drug Rehab Program
Mindfulness helps our clients become more aware of what is going on in their minds and in their environments. It also helps them more deeply connect with their emotions, beliefs, and core values.
One of the primary benefits of mindfulness is that it helps our clients become consciously able to create a meaningful and purposeful life that is driven by action, attention, values, wisdom and an open heart.
Mindfulness is a game-changer for many of our clients:
- Helps to manage cravings
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Improves emotional regulation
- Enhances overall well-being
Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health Support
Our clinical team understands that suffering from a dual diagnosis condition can add a layer of complexity in receiving treatment. Some of the most common questions we encounter are: Which came first, the mental health condition or the addiction? Which should be treated foremost?
In our experience, persons with a dual diagnosis respond better to treatment methods that address mental health in conjunction with substance use disorders. This form of treatment not only improves recovery outcomes, but also advances physical, emotional, and general functioning throughout the treatment episode and beyond.
Family Involvement in the Recovery Process
Our family program is designed to educate families on addiction and recovery while moving through the treatment process.
In many cases, families unknowingly contribute to the problem through codependency and enabling, even though their intentions are born out of love and concern.
Recovery improves when all who have been impacted by addiction accept help and take action to heal. As with any disease, some individuals are affected more than others, and it will be important for those impacted to start their own journey of healing.
“Without a doubt one of the best treatment centers in the country. If you want to live and are willing to do so by any means then this is the place.”
Aftercare & Relapse Prevention When Returning to Austin
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. As we come to understand the unique needs of the individual, we utilize a wide network of clinically supportive services to foster a robust, recovery-affirming discharge plan. We put a lot of focus into aftercare planning for our Austin clients to help them build a solid foundation for lasting recovery.
Aftercare planning may include several elements:
- Ongoing therapy sessions
- Alumni support services & weekly meetings
- Developing a relapse prevention plan
- Finding sober activities and communities in the Austin area
Embracing the Culture of Austin in Recovery
One of the beautiful things about getting sober in Austin is the opportunity to rediscover the city through fresh eyes. Austin’s vibrant culture can be a powerful ally in recovery:
- Music Scene: Attend live shows and festivals (sober tent options are often available)
- Outdoor Activities: Hike the Greenbelt, swim at Barton Springs, or kayak on the Colorado River
- Food Culture: Explore Austin’s famous food scene (BBQ and tacos, anyone?)
- Creative Arts: Engage with Austin’s thriving arts community through workshops and events
Recovery isn’t about giving up your life – it’s about reclaiming it. And Austin offers countless ways to do just that.
