The Release Model
Support That Meets You Where You Are

Fully Licensed & Accredited Outpatient Treatment
Our licensed outpatient programs are led by experienced clinicians at our thoughtfully designed facility in Austin, Texas. We offer multiple levels of care, including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Outpatient Programs (OP) with 12 to 25 hours a week of structured clinical support from our team of experts.
-
World Class Residential Environment
Our residential environment offer comfort and confidentiality so that our clients and families can embark on the healing journeys they deserve. Our transitional living program is located in the heart of central Austin, just a few minutes from colleges and universities, miles of trails and outdoor recreation, and access to one of the most robust recovery communities in the country.

Family Healing
Our approach to treatment recognizes that healing is most powerful when it involves the entire support system. Like all our therapies, our family counseling program is led by experts, including marriage and family therapists (LMFTs). By engaging loved ones in the therapeutic process through family counseling, we create a foundation for lasting change, ensuring that recovery is not just a personal journey but a shared one.

Our Programs
Care that adapts to your needs
Release offers multiple levels of support for substance use (formerly known as addiction) and mental health. Whether you need more structure or are stepping down to less intensive care, our programs are designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward.
-
Partial Hospitalization Program
Our Partial Hospitalization Program provides intensive, structured treatment in a setting that supports flexibility and transition. Clients attend daytime or evening clinical sessions and have the option to live in supportive community housing while building the skills and stability needed for lasting recovery.
-
Intensive Outpatient
Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides structured clinical care in a flexible format. The 12-week curriculum covers emotional regulation, self-awareness, relapse prevention, boundaries, and other essential tools for recovery and daily life.
-
Outpatient Program
Our outpatient program is a step down from IOP. It includes fewer hours but maintains key weekly touchpoints like individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and family support. This option is best for clients who are ready for more independence while staying connected to care.
We accept most major insurance plans
We are currently in-network with BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare, and Magellan Healthcare. However, we can also work with other insurance providers on an out-of-network basis.
Recovery starts with awareness. Our education and prevention work reaches young people, families, and communities through real-world tools that build resilience and reduce stigma.
