Recovery Unplugged Austin

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Austin is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 4 of the 8 centers near Austin offer one at all.

Austin has 235 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Austin is something they handle.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Austin often still has to be in person.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. A household that changes nothing while one person is treated puts that person back into the same week they left. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.

For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.
