Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

Cenikor Foundation in North Austin, about 20 minutes from downtown, provides treatment for adults with substance use and mental health conditions. Services include medical detox, residential care, outpatient treatment, and long-term aftercare. Clients receive 24/7 support in a structured setting, delivered by a team of over 40 staff members, including medical professionals and licensed clinicians, who guide individuals through each stage of recovery. The program follows an integrated approach that addresses physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction. Clients participate in individual and group therapy based on evidence-based practices. The treatment team includes Master’s-level counselors, nurses, and a medical director. Many staff members are in recovery themselves, helping build empathy, trust, and connection throughout the process. Support continues after residential care with outpatient services and up to two years of guidance from recovery coaches. Alumni programming and peer engagement provide additional encouragement as clients transition to independent living. Cenikor also works to make care affordable by offering cost-effective treatment options and helping clients use insurance when available.
