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.

Driftwood Recovery, also known as Driftwood Courageous Recovery, offers a serene and architecturally stunning environment for adults struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The center provides care for men and women aged 18 and older, using evidence-based therapies to support lasting recovery in a peaceful, rural setting. Driftwood Recovery offers a full continuum of care, including inpatient and outpatient services, day treatment (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and residential medical detox. With just 18 beds, the center provides personalized treatment and support, helping individuals transition through every phase of recovery with compassion and clinical expertise. Driftwood focuses on transforming clinical insight into daily action, encouraging clients to build and sustain a fulfilling recovery lifestyle. The team emphasizes values such as rigorous honesty, compassion, and integrity, all while helping clients rediscover the joy of sobriety and develop meaningful, long-term coping strategies. Clients engage in both individual and group counseling, using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These therapeutic approaches form the backbone of Driftwood's clinical model, supporting emotional resilience and psychological healing. Driftwood integrates outdoor adventure with therapy. Clients participate in canoeing, cross-terrain biking, hiking, and a high and low ropes course with a climbing wall. These experiential activities enhance personal growth, build confidence, and help individuals reconnect with nature as part of their healing journey. The on-site gym, TRX Suspension Training, certified personal training, yoga, and Pilates support physical recovery. Additional wellness services like nutritional counseling, infrared sauna, massage therapy, and acupuncture promote holistic health and complement the clinical and therapeutic work being done in treatment. Driftwood’s 30–90+ day extended-care program includes PHP, IOP, and sober living. This structured phase supports individuals who need continued accountability and guidance. The extended-care program welcomes qualifying individuals seeking a stable, recovery-focused home environment as they transition into independent living. Located 25 miles south of Austin, Texas, Driftwood Recovery spans 85 lush acres filled with oak trees. The modern rural campus includes multiple buildings, a large pool, an outdoor lounge, and ample space for hiking and biking. Clients can enjoy kayaking and yoga while surrounded by the tranquility of nature.
