Conditions and Issues Treated
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction involves addiction to legal or illegal opioids. It may happen very quickly with any opioid use. Sometimes within a matter of days. Opioid addiction is a known as a high-risk factor for future heroin addiction.
Opioid withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and lead the user to continue to use even if they want to quit. Stopping using an opioid requires careful medical observation. Sometimes the withdrawal can persist for many weeks, which can put the user at a high risk for relapse.
It is recommended to receive inpatient treatment and a medically supervised detox like those offered at Front Steps in Austin, TX, TX, to manage the withdrawal process while learning lasting tools to maintain recovery. In some circumstances medications can be used to manage opioid addiction.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Drug Rehab, Outpatient, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Outpatient treatment can be considered the lowest intensity level of addiction treatment in Austin, TX. It is ideal for early phase addiction or lower intensity addictions. Front Steps peer group support, 12-step programs, and individual counseling may still be involved.
Sober living home provides a drug and alcohol-free environment for people in Austin trying to stay sober. The atmosphere in SLH is less restrictive than in inpatient rehab. Members have to follow many rules, including not drinking and using drugs and paying rent and bills. There is no limit for the minimum or maximum period of stay, but as long as you stay in the house, you should follow the rules, as it’s the opportunity for individual and group sobriety.
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.
After treatment, addiction treatment can be frightening for newly sober people. Aftercare support provided by Front Steps is designed to give resources and help on a continued basis. It can involve finding housing in and around Texas, setting up 12-step meeting groups, continued medical monitoring, and counseling.
Front Steps‘s Therapies & Programs
Individual therapy aims to identify the core issues that would have led the patient to substance abuse and address the root cause effectively. Patients find the therapist as a person who they can trust. It helps them to open up and discuss personal and sensitive issues, which they may not be comfortable discussing in a group.
Group therapy happens at Front Steps in a controlled group environment, as opposed to a one-on-one setting. It supports Austin, TX patients’ recovery by offering a sense of comfort and letting them know that they are not alone. Through shared conversations, patients also learn to develop faith and understanding and gain insight on their addictions.

Austin, Texas Addiction and Treatment
Texas is one of the primary hubs for drug smuggling into the country. The border between Texas and Mexico is more than 1,000 miles long. More than 10 million residents use alcohol every year and more than 25% of those are minors. Alcohol and drug use has become so common in Texas that almost 15% of all deaths can be attributed to these substances.
Austin, the vibrant capital of Texas, is a city that embraces the great outdoors and boasts a thriving live music scene. With a diverse array of cultural offerings, including world-class museums and numerous festivals, Austin provides a welcoming environment for those seeking personal growth and well-being. However, the city has been grappling with a concerning rise in drug-related issues, with Travis County leading Texas in fentanyl-related deaths and experiencing a devastating overdose outbreak in 2024.
