<p><strong>ABOUT AUSTIN DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1991 and located in the Crestview neighborhood of north Austin, Austin Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program (ADAAP) is a family-owned facility. The center is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX16.pdf" target="_blank">407 (83.4 percent)</a> in the state of Texas to offer <strong>outpatient treatment</strong> for individuals struggling with substance abuse, and among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX16.pdf" target="_blank">411 (84.2 percent)</a> treatment centers in the state to work with clients on <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank"><strong>aftercare panning</strong></a>. </p> <p>Medical detox is not available at this facility, <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX16.pdf" target="_blank">a trait it shares with 44 of the 126 outpatient facilities that do not provide detox services</a>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>ADAAP views addiction as a disease, and <strong>uses the 12-Steps along with Terence Gorski’s relapse prevention model.</strong> All programs aim to address addiction’s biological, psychological, and social aspects.</p> <p>The center offers two outpatient programs: a <strong>60-hour intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong> for individuals who are new to addiction treatment, and an <strong>eight-week relapse outpatient program</strong> (also an IOP), for those who have struggled with repeated relapse. In both programs, treatment is available in the daytime or the evening.</p> <p>In the traditional IOP, clients work steps one through five of the 12-Steps, explore the family system, learn about addiction and recovery, and participate in relapse prevention training. In the relapse outpatient program, clients are encouraged to recognize and confront self-defeating behaviors.</p> <p>The center is also one of just <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TX16.pdf" target="_blank">53 (10.9 percent)</a> treatment facilities throughout Texas to offer <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/why-do-people-drink-and-drive-the-answers-are-pretty-jarring/" target="_blank">DWI and drug offender education programming</a>.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff; however, the <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">98 percent of all substance abuse treatment facilities</a> in the state of Texas have continuing education requirements for their staff. </p> <p>At the time of this writing, the single individual polled by Rehabs.com on the <strong>staff’s level of training and experience awarded five out of five stars</strong>.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>At the time of this writing, the sole alum polled by Rehabs.com <strong>would not recommend</strong> this facility. “Not enough group interaction. Lack of attention to clients, repetitive material, material not relating to my disorder,” the anonymous reviewer wrote, giving the facility one- and two-star ratings in all of the evaluated treatment metrics. <strong>One-star ratings went to the center’s holistic offerings, integration of treatment with leisure activities, and meals & nutrition</strong>. Two stars were given to the overall quality of the facility's individual and group counseling, the level of staff support, the visitor policy, and facility cleanliness.</p> <p>Contrastingly, <strong>secondary sites yielded exclusively positive commentary</strong> to date, with a 4.9-star average rating based on 90 reviews on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> These reviewers repeatedly praised the center’s <strong>devoted staff</strong>, <strong>home-like atmosphere</strong>, and warm fellow clients. “Without a doubt, hands down, ADAAP is the finest IOP rehab in all of Austin! Their staff is first class and totally devoted to recovery! Their curriculum is totally enlightening and gives the clients essential tools to deal with recovery and relapse prevention!” R.J. wrote in a representative comment. The <strong>aftercare program also received positive feedback</strong>. In fact, not one reviewer left any negative commentary. </p> <p>On Facebook (where the center can manage its own page), six reviewers generated a 4.8-star average to date.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> User J.C.N. referred to the facility as "affordable" and "educating." The single reviewer on Yelp at the time of this writing gave the facility four stars and wrote that "the facility is a little small" but noted how this allows "staff more time for individual attention."<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date would <strong>strongly recommend this facility</strong>. “Had good educated staff who were warm and understanding,” the reviewer wrote, giving five-star ratings for treatment effectiveness, cleanliness, and whether the program was worth the cost. This individual awarded many categories high, four-star ratings as well, including counseling options, treatment for co-occurring disorders, exercise and leisure options, and the admissions and discharge procedures. </p> <p>When asked about facility weaknesses, the loved one wrote, "Food was ok," still, though, awarding meals & nutrition four stars, and adding, "Could not have any visitors or could not make phone calls for the first week in," giving just three stars to family participation and the facility's connectivity policy.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to ADAAP’s website, the facility accepts several major insurance providers (including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Cigna), and offers sliding scale fees to clients who qualify. According to <a href="http://treatment-facilities.healthgrove.com/l/12295/Austin-Drug-and-Alcohol-Abuse-Program" target="_blank">HealthGrove</a>, this facility also accepts state insurance, military insurance, and Access to Recovery (ATR) Vouchers. </p> <p>The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave <strong>five out of five stars to the center’s affordability</strong>.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/TDl9uj" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/TDl9uj</a> </small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/Austin-Drug-and-Alcohol-Abuse-Program-657568057635730/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/Austin-Drug-and-Alcohol-Abuse-Program-657568057635730/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a> </small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/austin-drug-and-alcohol-abuse-program-austin-2" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/austin-drug-and-alcohol-abuse-program-austin-2</a></small></p>
