We offer individualized, gender-specific addiction treatment Austin Rehab programs
What sets Nova apart
Six things set Nova apart, and most of them are structural rather than stylistic: individualized treatment plans, gender-specific programs, a 90-day residential option, a full continuum of care from detox through sober living, 12-step immersion, and a specialization in chronic relapse.
The gender-specific part is the one people ask about most, and the reason is that recovery looks different for men and women and a co-ed setting adds distractions that do not help either. This page takes each in turn.

Gender Specific Treatment Austin Rehab
During drug and alcohol rehab, the recovery experience for men and women is vastly different. In addition, there are plenty of distractions and uncomfortable situations that may arise during co-ed treatment. Nova provides gender-specific treatment to maximize comfort and recovery success by removing those barriers and addressing specific concerns, emotions and life situations that may arise for both men and women.
90-Day Residential Treatment
For most individuals, 30 days is simply not enough time to both rid the body of harmful substances and restore the life skills needed to maintain sobriety. Nova’s 90-day residential treatment program is designed to help prevent relapse and bolster each individual’s chances of long-term success. This treatment approach provides an adequate amount of time to address surface level problems and dig deep and address the root issues that may have caused the addiction in the first place. If you’re comparing Austin options (e.g., The Last Resort), see our inpatient rehab in Austin.
Distractions and outside influences can also make recovery and sobriety very difficult. At Nova, we provide a safe, clean and comfortable place to focus on making those day-to-day changes that will eventually lead to a fulfilling life of sobriety. Learn more about residential inpatient rehab
Continuum of Care
Nova’s continuum of care provides long-term support that is completely tailored to your needs. We offer the following licensed clinical care services through our Texas drug and alcohol rehab centers:
- Residential Inpatient TreatmentOur evidence-based therapeutic treatments address mind, body, and spirit for a solid and lasting recovery. Individual treatment plans are created based on a personal assessment that addresses specific needs, and individuals are housed in luxury accommodations located in the heart of Hill Country.
- Intensive Outpatient TreatmentNova’s IOP is ideal for those transitioning out of inpatient treatment or for people who are unable to commit to an inpatient treatment program. Individuals meet three times a week for the duration of this eight-week program to discuss and learn about the important life skills that will help maintain a sober life.
- AftercareThe path to long-term recovery is littered with unexpected situations. This group therapy program is led by a licensed counselor and is designed to provide additional support for alumni of Nova’s residential inpatient treatment program.
- Sober LivingOur sister program, Eudaimonia Recovery Homes, provides safe, comfortable and sober living environments for those seeking complete recovery from addiction. Living in a sober home with others who are working through the same struggles offers an immersive community atmosphere that overflows with hope, encouragement and real-life strategies to kick addiction for good.
12-Step Immersion
The life-changing principles of recovery found in the 12-Step Program are designed to tear down long-standing walls and provide solutions to problems that make sobriety possible. Each client at Nova will walk through the 12-Step Program with a recovery specialist, a counselor, and their peers. This program provides an outlet for the individual to address their feelings, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and address certain behaviors, actions, and attitudes they need to change.

Chronic Relapse Specialization
Many clients come to us exhausted after multiple attempts at getting sober. Of these individuals, many are looking for more than a cookie-cutter rehab experience. At Nova, you will work with a recovery specialist and a counselor to thoroughly address each step in the 12-step program. Our in-depth approach offers a deeply individualized experience that encourages healing and restoration of the whole person, while also providing important life skills and tools for sober living.
Family Program
Addiction doesn’t just affect the addicted individual. It has an impact on the entire family system. At Nova, our family program is an intensive three-day program that addresses family issues and behaviors to work towards healing. This program involves the following activities:
- Informative lectures
- Daily homework assignments
- Therapy groups (with and without the client present)
- Experiential exercises (role reversal, mirroring, modeling)
- Interaction with community support groups

Frequently Asked Questions About Drug Rehab and Addiction Treatment
What is the hardest drug to rehab from?
Substances such as opioids, methamphetamine, and alcohol are often considered among the hardest to rehab from due to their intense physical dependence and high relapse potential. Effective recovery requires medical detox, therapy, and long-term support.
How long is the average stay in drug rehab?
The average stay in drug rehab varies depending on the program. Short-term programs may last 30 days, while long-term residential treatment often lasts 60 to 90 days or more. Research shows that longer stays increase the likelihood of sustained recovery.
What is the success rate of drug rehab centers?
Success rates differ based on the program, level of care, and individual commitment. Studies indicate that evidence-based treatment combined with aftercare can significantly improve long-term sobriety outcomes.
How long is drug rehab in Texas?
In Texas, drug rehab programs range from 30-day intensive programs to extended 90-day or longer residential treatment. Many facilities, including those in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and beyond, also offer outpatient options for continued care.
Do you have to pay for rehab?
Yes, rehab typically comes with costs, but many centers accept health insurance, offer financing plans, or provide sliding-scale fees. Some nonprofit and state-funded programs may also offer free or reduced-cost treatment.
What are the stages of drug rehab?
Drug rehab usually involves several stages: detoxification, therapy and counseling, relapse prevention education, and aftercare support. Each stage is designed to address the physical, emotional, and behavioral aspects of addiction.
Do addicts ever change?
Yes. With proper treatment, support, and commitment, people struggling with addiction can and do change. Recovery is possible through medical care, therapy, community support, and lifestyle adjustments.
How many drug addicts recover after rehab?
Recovery rates vary, but research suggests that individuals who complete a full continuum of care (including detox, inpatient or outpatient treatment, and aftercare) have the highest likelihood of long-term sobriety.
What is the most effective addiction treatment?
The most effective addiction treatment combines medical detox, evidence-based therapies (like cognitive behavioral therapy), peer support, and long-term aftercare. Tailoring treatment to each person’s needs improves outcomes significantly.
