A treatment center in Austin, Texas, set in a city-based commercial area, Awkward Recovery welcomes individuals facing substance use challenges, co-occurring and primary mental health needs. Care is offered through structured
outpatient and
intensive outpatient programs, blending 1-on-1 counseling,
group therapy, and whole-person practices. At its heart, Awkward Recovery is a safe place where people can find connection, support, and hope for real change.
The center provides intensive outpatient care and flexible outpatient programs for those needing flexible yet structured treatment. Clients take part in therapies like dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), and motivational interviewing. They also participate in individual and group sessions,
family therapy, and skills training, helping them manage triggers, improve relationships, and strengthen emotional resilience for long-term sobriety and mental wellness.
Programs often last about eight weeks but adjust to each person’s needs. After completing treatment, clients can keep working with therapists, join groups, or practice life skills such as communication and time management. Community events, peer support groups, and continuing care help people stay connected and supported. Life skills training, mindfulness, yoga, and meditation are integrated to support whole-person healing. Awkward Recovery believes recovery is more than treatment, it is building a healthier, more hopeful life surrounded by people who understand and care.
