A focused level of care
What services does Affirm Recovery Center provide?
Affirm Recovery Center provides adult substance use disorder intensive outpatient care in Austin, TX. The program may combine group and individual therapy, family support, recovery education, relapse prevention, and practical life skills. A screening and assessment determine fit and guide the addiction treatment plan.

Explore all substancesThe clinical rhythm
Group work creates structure. Individual work makes it personal.
Substance use recovery often needs both shared practice and private attention. IOP gives each form of therapy a distinct job.
Group therapy can help a person learn, hear other perspectives, practice communication, and notice patterns in real time. Individual therapy creates space to focus on personal history, current barriers, addiction treatment goals, and concerns that do not belong in a group discussion.
During the first week at Affirm, clients begin group and individual therapy after the first-day intake and introductions. The exact schedule and plan come from clinical assessment, not a fixed public template.

Practical recovery work
What do relapse prevention and life skills cover?
Relapse prevention and life-skills work help a person recognize risk, prepare responses, build support, and practice daily routines that do not depend on substances. The goal is practical: take what happens in addiction treatment and use it at home, work, school, and in relationships.
Topics may include triggers, coping, communication, boundaries, stress, routines, and planning for high-risk moments. Therapy can also help a person examine what happened before, during, and after substance use without reducing the conversation to willpower.
Support without a false promise
Recovery is work. Addiction treatment should make the next piece of that work clearer.
Affirm does not guarantee an outcome. The program provides structure, clinical support, and a place to practice. Each person still has a different history, environment, and path forward.
Care boundaries
What Affirm does not provide matters too.
Affirm is an outpatient center. It does not provide detox, residential addiction treatment, inpatient care, or emergency stabilization.
Some people need medical withdrawal support or a more intensive setting before IOP can be considered. That is not a failure or a rejection. It is a level-of-care decision. Admissions may help coordinate an outside detox referral when needed.
If someone may be in immediate danger, has a medical emergency, or has severe withdrawal symptoms, call 911. For suicide, mental health, or substance use crisis support, call or text 988.

Services FAQ
Questions about care at Affirm
Does every client receive every service listed here?
No. Affirm may use several forms of clinical support within adult substance use IOP. Screening and assessment guide the addiction treatment plan. The final mix of group, individual, family, educational, and recovery-skills work depends on clinical fit, program availability, and the person’s needs.
Can someone attend IOP while working or going to school?
Many people consider IOP because it does not require an overnight stay and can fit around daily responsibilities. Affirm offers day and evening programming, but exact times and clinical recommendations vary. Admissions can discuss current schedule options and explain the screening used to determine whether outpatient care is appropriate.
Is family participation required?
Family support may be useful, but the role of loved ones depends on the addiction treatment plan, consent, privacy requirements, and the situation at home. Admissions can answer general questions. Clinical staff can explain how family education or support may fit once addiction treatment begins and the right permissions are in place.
Does Affirm offer detox or residential addiction treatment?
No. Affirm does not provide detox, residential addiction treatment, inpatient care, or emergency stabilization. If screening suggests that medical withdrawal support or a more intensive setting should come first, admissions may help coordinate an outside referral. In a medical emergency or immediate danger, call 911.
How does insurance verification work?
Affirm can review commercial insurance information and discuss self-pay. Verification is not a promise of coverage or admission. Plan benefits, authorization, network status, deductibles, and out-of-pocket responsibility can vary. Call 512-230-7905 to ask what information staff need to begin a benefits review.
