About Addiction and Psychotherapy Services

Addiction & Psychotherapy Services (Aeschbach & Associates) has been serving the greater Austin area since 1982. We are a private clinic that provides services to opiate-addiction/multiple diagnosis patients.

Since 1982, we provide comprehensive opioid addiction treatment to the greater Austin area. We specialized in treatment of complicated patients with multiple psychiatric problems and believe that psychiatric treatment must be integrated into addiction treatment. Our highly qualified staff have been working with people with opioid addiction for years. We are locally owned and operated, started by Dr. Heinz Aeschbach. In 2017, we welcomed Dr. Crispa Aeschbach-Jachmann, Board Certified Psychiatrist, as our new medical director. We firmly believe in the change we see in our patients and sound scientific evidence: methadone and buprenorphine save lives!

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I am consistently impressed by the sincere care and desire to help from each and every person working at this clinic. Doctors are excellent! Groups are informative and cathartic. I ve never been more satisfied with mental health care and treatment for my life long opiate/opioid dependence. I strongly recommend checking them out if you have struggled with opioid/opiate addiction. They can and will help! I am indeed a patient of 1 month. You don t have to suffer, and you especially don t have to suffer alone.

Everyone is so nice here and I did feel like they push methadone really hard but I was okay with it until I was ready to get off and they basically told me as long as I have insurance that pays I wont be getting off of it. They also are very inconsiderate of your time, not made for people who have jobs or want to ever stop dosing.

Horrible clinic. They love shoving methadone down patients throats but won t give my husband a prescription for panic attacks. People are falling asleep in their AA meetings, in their cars with cigarettes, but won t help my husband with a proper dose of panic attack/anxiety medication. The only reason people are leaving 5 stars is because they are getting methadone sothey can stay high all the while not actually getting off drugs. Of course you re happy and they are good doctors to you when they hand methadone out like candy. It s disgusting. It s a SCAM! So many of these patients are paying to get high!

A nurse there once said "this is not a dosing facility, this is a full service facility". She was right. Not only did they treat my physical addiction, they also treated my mental condition. They have many programs to help you change your life and lifestyle around. I am forever grateful to all the staff. I've been clean for almost 20 years.

I stopped showing up here and instead of the doctor or a counselor calling me to see if I was ok (after 2 years of completely perfect attendance) she choose to go call my pharmacy causing problems for me with my pharmacy canceling a pre authorized refill for a medication that could kill you when coming off of. She even tried (unsuccessfully) to make sure it would not be easy for me to refill any medication by another doctor similar to it in the FUTURE!! And put requirements on my profile that I must wait for her to sign off stating she is no longer seeing me as a patient in order for my therapist to prescribe me medication- all because I chose to quit taking methadone!! This woman went out of her way to be complicated but it did not work! I felt she handled a human life cold heartedly and is indeed a majorly controlling person. Oh and yes I purged those liquid handcuffs when I had to show up in person l and saved my all my take home doses. I used them to taper myself off COMPLETELY and I am so freaking happy, not to mention CLEAN!! Worst mistake was not leaving sooner!! It has costed me some heath problems but hey no more liquid cuffs and my body will heal! So enter with caution, Have a plan and don t let them brainwash you. Its like the California Hotel . You can check out anytime but you can t leave. I was one of the lucky ones who made it out without a life sentence! Best wishes to all on their journey. Staff used to be amazing but has gone downhill
