Nova's residential campus is in Wimberley, in the Texas Hill Country southwest of Austin.
Ninety days of residential treatment, near Austin
Nova Recovery Center’s residential inpatient rehab is a 90-day program on a private campus outside Austin, built for drug or alcohol addiction, chronic relapse and co-occurring mental health conditions, and combining clinical therapy, peer support and holistic care.
Short-term stays often do not leave enough time to reach the root causes of addiction. Ninety days does, and it is long enough for behavioral change to hold rather than to be started and abandoned.
If you need stabilizing first, our medical detox program provides 24/7 monitored care before inpatient treatment begins.
- Program length
- 90 days
- Supervision
- 24-hour care
- Substances treated
- Eight
- Co-occurring conditions
- Dual diagnosis
Residential rehab is a full-time commitment. The call works out whether it is the right one.
The substances we treat
Each recovery plan is built for one person. It manages withdrawal safely and prepares you for long-term recovery, and what that involves depends on what you have been using.
If you need stabilizing first, our medical detox program provides 24/7 monitored care before inpatient treatment. For the full program, see our inpatient alcohol and drug rehab near Austin.
-
Alcohol
Withdrawal can be life-threatening without medical care. We monitor vital signs and use medications when needed to reduce symptoms and complications.
-
Opiates and opioids
From prescription painkillers to illicit opioids like fentanyl, our programs help manage physical dependence and intense cravings.
-
Benzodiazepines
Stopping medications like Xanax, Valium and Ativan slowly, with a doctor’s help, is important. Stopping suddenly can lead to seizures and more anxiety.
-
Cocaine
While not physically addictive in the same way as opioids, cocaine detox requires emotional and psychological stabilization.
-
Heroin
Our compassionate team provides 24/7 support during heroin withdrawal, using medications and therapy to reduce discomfort and promote stability.
-
Methamphetamine
Meth detox can cause extreme fatigue, depression and anxiety. We help ease these symptoms in a structured, supportive setting.
-
Prescription drugs
We assist individuals taking medications such as Adderall, Ambien or painkillers, concentrating on their physical symptoms and psychological well-being.
-
Synthetic drugs
Detox from synthetic cannabinoids, bath salts or designer stimulants is managed with careful observation and individualized treatment plans.
Using more than one of these, or not sure which applies?
Say so on the call. The plan is built around what you have actually been taking.
Why ninety days, and why here
Three things separate this program from a short stay: the length of it, the range of therapy inside it, and the people you do it alongside.
-
90-day long-term treatment
Short-term stays may not provide enough time to address the root causes of addiction. Ninety days is a proven way to heal, promote lasting behavioral change and prevent relapse.
-
Evidence-based and holistic therapy
A combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-informed care, alongside yoga, meditation, fitness and expressive therapies.
-
Peer recovery support
Group work, 12-step programs and daily check-ins, with support from staff who have been through recovery themselves. Community-based healing is at the heart of what we do.
Ninety days is a serious commitment.
Ask what a week of it actually looks like before you decide.
What the program includes
Six things run through all ninety days. They are what the schedule is built out of, rather than extras on top of it.
-
Daily individual therapy
One-to-one counseling every day, with the same clinician rather than whoever is on shift.
-
Daily group therapy
Group counseling every day, which is where most of the peer work and 12-step practice happens.
-
Life skills and relapse prevention
Life skills, relapse prevention education and health coaching, so that leaving does not mean starting from nothing.
-
Trauma and spiritual development
Trauma resolution, support and spiritual development, for the part of addiction that predates the substance.
-
Family involvement
Family involvement and communication planning, because the people you go home to are part of whether it holds.
-
Housing, meals and wellness
Semi-private housing with meals and wellness support, on the campus rather than off it.

The campus, and what comes after it
Located just outside Austin, the campus is a private setting with a regular schedule, support and clinical supervision, including a safe detox where one is needed first.
Inpatient treatment is the foundation, but what happens after rehab matters just as much. These are the four things we connect you to.
-
Outpatient and intensive outpatient
Continuing structured treatment while living at home, as the step down from residential care.
-
Transitional sober living
Housing with accountability and peer connection, between the campus and living independently.
-
Alumni support groups
The alumni community, which is where most people find the long tail of support after a program ends.
-
Weekly relapse prevention
Weekly relapse prevention planning sessions, kept going rather than delivered once at discharge.
What happens after ninety days is the part that decides it.
Ask on the call how the step down works, and what it costs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is residential inpatient rehab?
Residential inpatient rehab is a full-time program where people live to get help for drug or alcohol addiction. It includes 24/7 supervision, therapy, peer support, and structured routines in a safe, supportive setting.
How long does inpatient treatment last?
At Nova Recovery Center, we offer a 90-day residential treatment program. This program helps support long-term success in addiction recovery. This timeframe allows clients to fully engage in therapy, develop coping strategies, and build relapse prevention plans.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient treatment?
Inpatient treatment offers 24-hour care in a structured setting. Outpatient programs let clients live at home and attend sessions part-time. Doctors often recommend inpatient care for those with severe addictions or repeated relapses.

No. Residential drug rehab requires a full-time commitment. For individuals needing flexible scheduling, outpatient care may be a better fit after completing detox or inpatient programming.
What kinds of addiction do residential rehabs treat?
Nova’s program supports individuals with addiction to alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription drugs. Each client receives a customized care plan to match their specific substance use history.
Is detox included before entering residential rehab?
Yes. We provide detox services for those who need them. This helps clients start our inpatient substance abuse treatment safely and in a stable condition.
Do residential programs treat co-occurring mental health disorders?
Absolutely. We offer dual-diagnosis care for both addiction and mental health issues. This includes conditions like anxiety, PTSD, and depression. Our approach includes clinical oversight and therapy integration.
How do residential rehabs help prevent relapse?
Our program uses peer support, therapy, aftercare planning, and alumni services. This helps prevent relapse and supports clients in long-term addiction recovery.
Does insurance cover residential treatment programs?
