Residential treatment provides a well-structured setting with dedicated bedtimes and wake-up times to build a routine.

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.

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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

The purpose of family therapy is to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic within the family unit. Therapists help individual members to identify and change harmful behavior patterns and improve communication. This provides a stable foundation for the family and their loved one's recovery.

life-skills iconLife Skills

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.

Make sure to ask the right questions. For admissions, I asked if a patient had the right to choose which level of care (IOP vs Partial Hospitalization) was appropriate according to their needs to self-advocate, to which the coordinator on the phone replied with a resounding NO. The patient can make recommendations but ultimately the screening is what determines the level of care AKA they do not prioritize the patient s preference. She said this is especially true if insurance is going to be paying for it.They also advertise on their website that their intensive outpatient program takes place in the evenings, which is NOT true: 9-3pm.Very downstream approach and a huge RED flag.

i did discovery's iop and php program and it completely changed my mental health for the better. i've been to a handful of treatment programs and this one was by far the best. i was in such an awful place at the time and after finishing up the program i honestly feel like a new person. the therapists and staff always go above and beyond. they're funny, kind, and honestly make you feel safe. i highly recommend discovery to anyone struggling with mental illness. part of me was sad to leave!

I m very grateful for this program. Mental health is something to be taken seriously and from day one I always felt like Discovery and the staff understood that and stand by it. My mental health and personal development benefitted greatly from attending Discovery.There were times where the things we did felt a little repetitive but I did see the benefit in revisiting things as well. I appreciated the patience and encouragement to get better.Shout out to all the staff everyone was extremely awesome and I m gonna miss them all!

Our daughter received the care and treatment she needed to get better at Discovery. She did both the PHP and IOP programs. The administration is professional, but also very kind and helped us at every corner. They responded immediately to any questions or concerns we had. Her therapist was empathetic, highly skilled, and got results. It is obvious just walking in that the team at this facility has the kids health and safety as their top priority, they foster a very warm and safe environment. Although my kiddo was sad to leave, she was ready when it was time thanks to treatment she received here.

I was hesitant on having my child go here because of the reviews. After talking with another facility, they helped me realize that most people only leave reviews if they had a bad experience and not a good one. This place is the only place in the Austin area that I could find that would accept my child for their age. My child was upset about going here initially and beg and pleaded to not be there. My child ended up loving it here and was sad to leave. My child did PHP and IOP at discovery. We loved that they have family sessions that helped us understand how our child felt and how we felt. My child loved his therapist, Ginger, and made plenty of friends here. My child s regular therapist has noticed a difference since being in the program. I only gave 4 stars because I feel like I ll notice the biggest difference when my child goes back to school (that s where my child struggled the most) and I wasn t the fondest of the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist prescribed 2 brand new medications at once and when I told her that per previous medical advice, I will not start my child on 2 new medications because it makes it harder to find out which medication my child is having side effects to, she ignored my email and then asked me a few weeks later why my child wasn t taking one of the medications. She also told my child to take both medications when I had already emailed her to talk with me directly concerning medication as my child is a minor. Other than that 1 negative experience, I would recommend discovery. Hopes this helps.
