Promises Austin

Specialties

Promises Austin rehab center is one of the nation’s leading holistic addiction treatment programs. By treating the whole person on a peaceful nine-​acre retreat in the Texas Hill Country, our clients are given the opportunity to achieve lasting recovery.

A lot of treatment centers talk about holistic addiction treatment, but few address the physical, mental, emotional, family and spiritual needs of each client the way Promises Austin does. At Promises Austin, traditional evidence-​based treatments merge with more than a dozen holistic therapies to give you access to every available recovery tool.

Promises Austin delivers clinically sophisticated residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs that are uniquely adapted for each individual. Our drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs have three primary components: a comprehensive assessment, a personalized treatment plan, and one year of recovery coaching after completing the program.
