The Right Step has been providing treatment for individuals with chemical dependency issues for over 20 years. Our Austin-based facility is staffed by compassionate and fully-trained professionals. We offer outpatient alcohol and drug addiction treatment, family groups, and aftercare services. In our safe and supportive environment, clients learn the necessary skills and tools to lead a fulfilling life in sobriety and discover the resources available to help them maintain an abstinent lifestyle.
ABOUT THE RIGHT STEP AUSTIN
The Right Step is one of the largest private chemical dependency treatment providers in the Southwest, with over 15 rehab facilities throughout the State of Texas. Our Austin location, situated a few miles southwest of downtown, offers outpatient care including intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, specialized IOP programming for individuals who identify LGBTQI, aftercare services, and alumni programming.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Before enrollment, all clients undergo a confidential assessment to determine the most suitable level of care for their needs. Those who enroll in our outpatient program can expect to attend 10 hours of programming each week. Our treatment approach follows the 12-step methodology and incorporates Positive Recovery, a strengths-based approach. Clients engage in educational workshops and receive individual, group, and family counseling. Spirituality awareness and relapse prevention training are also integrated into the program.
Our LGBTQI clients receive IOP programming that addresses addiction exacerbating factors such as grief, unresolved trauma, and family rejection. They attend up to 24 group sessions, including weekly sessions dedicated to LGBTQI clients.
Standard aftercare is provided to program graduates through weekly support groups for up to two years. For those who require more intensive support, our Javelin Continuing Care Services offers a 12-month plan with a more individualized approach. This includes regular check-ins with a sobriety coach, goal setting, regular drug screening, life skills training, family engagement, and ongoing education.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The Right Step is proud to have a leadership team consisting of a physician and a registered nurse. Our IOP program for LGBTQI individuals was developed by a licensed social worker who is also a certified sex addiction therapist.
