About Driftwood Recovery
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.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Driftwood Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options
Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.
Driftwood Recovery offers 4 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.
The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
