About The Fullbrook Center
The Fullbrook Center used to be called Awakenings Recovery Hill Country. It’s a rehab center for women only in Fredericksburg, Texas. This rehab for women is run by women, too, so it’s designed to deal with addiction in the specific ways it affects women and address other issues women face in their journey.
What I find particularly interesting about this rehab is how many of their clients have come here after being to other treatment centers as many as nine times in the past. Yet this is the one where things finally clicked and they found the program they needed to get sober and build the positive and fulfilling life they had always wanted. It says something that multiple clients have had this experience.
While you’re at this rehab your program will last anywhere from 30 days to 90 days. They combine a lot of effective therapies and treatment methods for addiction. The program is based on a 12 Step program but they incorporate evidence based therapy techniques like trauma therapy and attachment therapy. While you treat your addiction you’ll also be addressing and healing from the factors that have created and fed your addiction too.
The Fullbrook Center is known for its residential program in a peaceful homelike environment. They actually have a full continuum of care though so they can stay with you as you transition to different stages in your recovery. This includes a detox program before your residential rehab and then a partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program.
According to clients, this rehab has found a healthy and healing balance in their treatment by showing them compassion with accountability. They say that while this program is challenging they have the support they need along the way.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Intensive 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
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
12-Step
The 12-step program is a mainstay in the addiction recovery community. Its longevity and commitment to accountability has proven to be a invaluable component in the continued sobriety of millions across the world. Their staff will evaluate the patient life struggling with addiction, in order to determine if the 12-step program is right for them.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug 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.
Dual 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 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.
Opioid 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.
Clinical Services
Equine Therapy
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
Group Theraphy
Individual 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.
Eye 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 Therapy
Awakenings Recovery has plans designed for the whole family at all of their facilities. These multi-day seminars help every member of the family understand the disease of addiction. Substance abuse is a sickness that reflects itself throughout the whole family. The addiction specialists will work with the patient's family to achieve forgiveness and the foundation for lasting sobriety.
Nutrition Therapy
The toll of addiction not only ravage the mind, but destroy the body. Many enter treatment with symptoms of malnourishment, or physical exhaustion and significant obesity. After the detox process (if prescribed), they can focus on restoring physical health through balanced meals and scheduled physical fitness. Maintaining a healthy physique can be a critical part to a lasting recovery. Returning to healthy patterns of sleep, emotion, and health allow the mind to fight addiction fully.
Creative Arts Therapy
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy
When used as recommended, nicotine replacement therapy in Texas provides enough nicotine to help you avoid severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms after quitting smoking. This increases comfort so you're less likely to relapse into your smoking habit.
