About Awkward Recovery - Addiction Treatment Center in Austin
Awkward Recovery’s intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Austin provides flexible, structured care that is a laughter-filled journey through the maze of sobriety. They help clients figure out how to live in Austin without needing substances to enjoy it, as well as treat their primary or co-occurring mental health challenges like anxiety or trauma. The program fits conveniently into weekly routines, with sessions held Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, allowing clients to build real-world skills while maintaining daily responsibilities.
Gain Therapeutic Tools for Real Progress
Awkward Recovery offers one-on-one sessions with a dedicated therapist and group sessions with others who understand. Clients engage in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to learn to respond in healthier ways than shutting down their feelings, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to process traumatic memories so they no longer have control over their present. Additional therapies rebuild family relationships, explore the different "parts" of the inner self, and tap into the client’s own motivation for change.
Rebuild Life with Honesty and Humor
Awkward Recovery's curriculum is a no-nonsense guide designed to treat mental health and addiction as the interconnected mess they usually are. Their 8-segment curriculum helps clients embrace the cringe of getting a life back on track. It includes:
- Trauma & Recovery Education
- Self Management Coping Skills
- Distress Tolerance
- Healthy Relationships
- Emotional Regulation
- Value Driven Life
- Effective Communication
- Self Esteem & Integrity
Maintain Momentum After IOP
To support the transition from the structured environment of IOP to everyday life, clients are encouraged to join Awkward Recovery’s outpatient program (OP). In OP, clients meet less frequently with the same counselor from IOP. From there, Awkward’s team can determine the most suitable path forward, ensuring recovery remains on a steady, positive trajectory.
