Release Recovery Austin — Addiction treatment center in Austin, TX

Our experience with Alpha has been nothing short of transformative for my 15-year-old son. When we first sought help following my son's overdose, I was overwhelmed with concern and uncertainty. But from the very first phone call, the staff made us feel supported and heard. The intake process was smooth, and they took the time to carefully explain every step of the program, ensuring we were fully informed and comfortable moving forward. The team of counselors, therapists, and support staff is exceptional. They truly understand the challenges young people face and have a unique ability to connect with teens in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. My son has made incredible progress, thanks to their individualized approach that takes into account not only the addiction itself, but also the emotional, psychological, and social factors that contribute to it. What stands out most about this center is their holistic approach. They don’t just treat the addiction—they work on building self-esteem, coping strategies, and life skills that are crucial for long-term success. The therapists created a safe space for my son to open up, express his feelings, and rebuild trust. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the well-being of their patients and their families. The outpatient program was tailored to my son's needs, allowing us to balance treatment with school and other activities. The center also encourages family involvement and offers parental support and therapy, which has been crucial for my understanding and support of my son's recovery journey. The progress I've seen in my teenager over the past few months is remarkable. Not only has he shown an improved attitude toward his recovery, but I've also noticed a significant positive shift in his overall mood and outlook on life. We are beyond grateful to Alpha for giving our family hope and helping my teenager reclaim his future. If you're looking for a compassionate, professional, and effective treatment program for a young person struggling with addiction, I wholeheartedly recommend Alpha 180. They truly saved my son and gave us the tools we need to continue on this journey together. Jenn Parent of Alpha Patient

Very upset with this program. Our daughter did not get anything but worse with this. Other "clients" were providing drugs to her while in this program. We removed her from this program and when provided with this information they tried to tell us weeks later she was kicked out for other issues. Not denying her out bursts but they were caused by the drugs supplied to her at this program. Once she got out of Alpha 180 she did SOOOOO MUCH better. She now is clearly sober and succeeding. Very sad that a program that was meant to help improve youths helped make them worse and then they blamed her.

I am grateful to Alpha for the wonderful and effective program they've designed. Mental health and related services have been hit-or-miss for our family, but Alpha has been such a great combination of evidence-based programming, support, love, and a pathway to independence for young men with struggles.

Our family is blessed to have found Alpha. It is a wonderful environment with smart therapists who care and work hard to make each family heard. Christi Goll went the extra mile as did any other associate when needed. In a sea of confusion related to mental health, I encourage you to look into Alpha. And it’s in on the UT campus which our family loved exploring. Elizabeth B

Our daughter started a few weeks ago and the staff and therapists have been absolutely phenomenal. Our daughter looks forward to her days there and she's learning a lot. So grateful for the team at Alpha

After 6 years of in and out residential treatment and having been to 12 treatment facilities for my problems this place was my final program and I finally got the help I needed. I have now remained abstinent for 5 years and am happily married. I credit the begininning of my success to alpha 180 and recommend it to anyone looking!

As a mom, Alpha 180 gave me hope when I was filled with fear. They offered my son a path to a different life and the support to help him get there. They are diverse in their staff and clients and beliefs. They foster independence and growth while choosing to live a substance free life. They offer value and a future to young men who couldn’t see a path forward. The ages of 17-27 are huge time of change. Life is moving forward in a positive way for us and Alpha helped us get there. Life skills, money management, recovery, education, independence and self worth = Alpha 180.

I came to this place when I was 18 years old. I’m 20 now and it changed my life for the better, I don’t think I’d be where I am today if I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to join this community when I did

Alpha 180 is a unique program that perfectly serves those in their care. Their team is attentive, and dedicated to top notch service from the first phone call through the entirety of the program. Integrating young men into the world through school and other life-skills development is a missing piece to many aftercare programs, and the program Alpha offers allows clients to have ample support as they build a life of long term recovery. Would recommend this program in a heartbeat!

Going back home after residential treatment is extremely risky and unpredictable. Alpha 180 is an incredible aftercare program that works. After being around Alpha since 2019, I have seen countless young men completely evolve their lives at this awesome facility. The amount of success they have had, sometimes with some very difficult individuals, is breath taking and very impressive. If you’re wondering where to send your loved one for aftercare, Alpha 180 is the right place. I guarantee it!
