About Cenikor Foundation

Cenikor is one of the best addiction treatment centers in Austin, Texas, because it offers a full continuum of care with multiple service offerings. This drug rehab center helps individuals by offering them every aspect of recovery help, from inpatient and outpatient programs for adults and youths to short-term drug and alcohol abuse programs. Each of these programs is individualized to suit the recovery needs of every individual.

Besides offering drug and alcohol addiction treatment services, Cenikor also provides continued support when an individual has found sobriety through recovery housing and alumni programs. Yet before an individual can benefit from these services, they must become involved in one of the following substance abuse recovery programs:

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Cnikor is led by licensed medical and clinical staff who conduct screenings, assessments, issue specific classes, early intervention, and recovery services.

This rehab center program is comprehensive, which is why it involves individuals, groups, and families through treating chemical dependency, therapy, family in recovery planning, codependency disorder education, and gender specific substance abuse issue education.

The Cenikor addiction treatment center offers a supportive inpatient residential treatment program. This rehab program is designed to help those ready to be physically, mentally, and spiritually committed to substance abuse recovery to better their lives and re-enter the workforce.

Some inpatient adult supportive services offered include 12 step groups, multi-family educational groups, certifications and diploma support, and soft skills training.

Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is believed to be one of the most effective opioid treatments. At Cenikor, this substance abuse addiction treatment center combines FDA approved medication known as Suboxone with psychosocial therapy to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings in a safe environment.

This treatment program includes patient specific treatment plans, individual counseling, transfers to this rehabs residential program, and access to Cenikors telehealth services.

The outpatient substance abuse withdrawal management program helps people remain on the path of recovery and sobriety in an outpatient setting. This program ensures individuals have access to ambulatory withdrawal management and supervised medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Cenikor offers individuals a short term inpatient recovery treatment program. This program provides nonemergency care in a structured environment. Some of the short term services offered to those battling substance abuse include discharge planning, referrals, 12 step group introductions, assessments and screenings, and individual and group counseling.

The youth inpatient treatment program is provided to those between the ages of 13 and 17. This drug and alcohol rehab program is operated by licensed staff and helps youths fight addiction and continue healthily into adulthood. In addition to providing early intervention, screening, assessments, and therapy, this program also provides schooling. Qualified teachers offer the schooling provided to ensure students receive an adequate education.

Youths requiring outpatient therapy and recovery treatment can enroll in the youth outpatient treatment program at Cenikor. The program is staffed by licensed counselors who use evidence based group counseling programs.

Lol they kicked me out after I fell asleep in their bathroom while applying. Didn't even overdose or anything. Which is kind of like... isn't that what you guys help with? Been sober for 9 months now, have my own place, a great job and have recently had enough income to buy myself some diamond jewelry, new clothes and enough to support my family. The one thing this place can help with is giving you the realization that needing them means your life is in a horrible place. Thanks!

Hi E, thanks for leaving a review. We can assure you most of our reviews are real; although, sometimes disgruntled former employees leave one, which we think may be the case here. As a nonprofit, our mission is to provide behavioral health for all. A large percentage of patients are medically indigent. By focusing on the bottom line, we can expand access to care for everyone.

Question iconWho Answers?

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
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. Cenikor offers short-term inpatient treatment.
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. Cenikor offers an inpatient medically-assisted detox and stabilization for adult clients going through the active withdrawal symptoms associated with a recent substance use disorder. The process include medical support, individualized medication protocols and individual counseling.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.
aftercare iconAftercare
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Texas provides a safe environment for medical detox. This setting is crucial to provide medical care during withdrawal. Certain withdrawal symptoms can cause life-threatening conditions, but patients in a supervised clinical setting have treatment readily available to address any symptoms before they become severe. Treatment can also be provided for co-occurring physical and mental health issues.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Texas is to change thought patterns, which leads to changes in behavior. Specific techniques during CBT can include self talk, SMART goals, journaling, and positive activities.

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.

Therapy sessions that incorporate motivational interviewing focus on OARS: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. This facilitates an exchange of information and an empowering of the client to decide for themselves what changes might need to be made in their lives.

Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Ms. Kerry changed my world! I m alive today because of the understanding and tough yet caring love that not only Mr.Kerry showed but everyone that worked with me from the counselors to the tech even the cook was kind and the lady who worked third shift I forgot her name. She was so kind and sweet and nice. I spoke to her early in the morning because I was one of the first ones up and she was just gentle.

Cenikor saved my life. I contacted them when I was homeless over a year ago. They accepted me and I have been sober for over a year. I am not only financially stable but I am rebuilding my career as a teacher in the State of Texas, sponsor women in the AA program, and return to Cenikor to bring 12 step meetings. This facility addresses the whole person and leaves no need unmet. The team of counselors, peer support specialists, case managers, and hard-working techs, and nurses along with the dedicated members of the community who come to the facility nightly to bring 12-step meetings offered me a foundation for recovery and growth I maintain today. Highly recommend.

Came here and had a very bad experience. First of all there was racism s and clear discrimination. Staff bht were spreading rumors about the clients here at cenikor. Second of all the intake counselor Tiffany is just straight up rude to everyone not a single nice thing comes out of her mouth if I could put zero stars I would. Also they will not allow or make it extremely difficult for you to get on suboxone unless it is through them specifically, but their rules are very inconsistent with what they have on their websites pdf. For example they will not allow you to make calls to your family members.

Response from the owner9 months ago
Hi Manuel, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We could not find you in our patient records but do want to address your concerns. We pride ourselves on compassionate, friendly care. Anything less is unacceptable, and this will be looked into further. For MAT, if you are in an inpatient program, our doctors need to write the suboxone prescription and enroll you in our program to monitor your care and progress. We do not use methadone in our facilities and thus do not transfer clients to those providers for services. This is for our clients' safety. Last, phone calls typically are limited to once a week while in short-term residential treatment. This gives you time to focus on yourself so you can give 100% to loved ones once you are discharged.

This place is great besides one nurse that is absolutely hateful and hostile. Her name is Rhonda. She treats people like they are animals and in jail. Absolutely vile. She constantly yells at people and belittles them. She needs to find a new line of work because she is doing nothing but pushing people away and not making them want to stay. Vicious woman. Rhonda. Bless your soul. You need it.
