I highly recommend ADAAP. The entire staff are very genuine and professional. Everyone has different problems so they tailor treatment plans to help each individual move foward with life. I am very greatful to have been in this program.

I've been to more recovery programs than I care to mention. Most were cookie cutter formats. Adaap keeps it real and provides you with the information, tools, and support you need to get and stay clean, without softening or sugar coating the facts.

This ADAAP IOP program is perfect! Not only does it mandate that we go to 12-Step meeetings three times per week, I also got a sponsor who helps me with my recovery!These meetings and the curriculum of IOP go together like love and marriage. I've also heard some revealing stories from othert clients. I learned so much from them and realized some of them have more problems than I do. We coverfed so many things in the class, like co-dependency and setting b oundaries. This program gives me a blueprint to follow to be a better person. There's more honesty in this group than out in the rest of the world. I now have an awareness of how wto avoid pitfalls. This program was very enlightening.

The staff is great. They work with you on every step of the way. I just left today's class feeling less stress on my shoulders and feeling like a better me. I'm looking forward to future meetings and its great that they dedicate a night for family night where you can bring any of your family. They truly care.

Ms. Joyce is awesome. At first I was completely skeptical of the program, but after going through it entirely, I can honestly say it and Ms. Joyce have made a huge positive impact on my life.

I can t thank this place enough for helping me out during some rough patches in my life. The counselors and employees are one of a kind! Especially Rainbow! I m glad I decided to go with such a wonderful facility!!

ADAAP is an amazing place to get sober, everyone who works there is kind, caring and understanding. The support that you receive there is unlike any place I have been, if you are looking for help ADAAP is the place.

The great group of people here are able to let egos go ... the door.
From there acceptance and learning
Are abilities that come easily all facilitated by a staff that cares , and cares enough to call you out on any excuse you might be running. i just live the energy of ADAAP

I recieved my second DWI in less than 2 years and was ordered by the court to attend outpatient alcohol abuse treatment. I went in with the attitude that I didn't need treatment, that I would attend only because I was required to do so by the court. I didn't think I was an alcoholic, that I had only used poor judgement, in that I drove while drinking. I knew after the first class that I needed to be there, that I was in fact an alcolohic. I was nervous and scared beyond words before my first class. I had never been in any type of "Group" discussion before and always was frighten to death to speak in front of strangers. The staff at ADAAP made me feel at ease the moment I walked in the door. The first class set the tone for the remaining treatment and I knew I belonged there and that it was going to help me in my recoverery from alcohol addiction. I know that without attending treatment and the support of my "Group" and ADAAP staff that I wouldn't have made it to the point I'm at now. I know I have a long way to go but I know ADAAP has my back. I would recommend ADAAP to anyone suffering from alcohol or drug addiction.

Great class, the help everyone and treat everyone with respect from the moment you call in for information to the moment you sit down with everyone. Great support group! Highly recommend.

Great place to aid in recovery or if you're dealing with legal issues! The staff are very helpful and make you feel more than welcome! They will work with you, no matter your circumstances. I'm glad to have chosen this place over all others offered in the city!

If u ever looking for a good support group to help u with ur addiction this is were u need to go. Everyone here is so open to help you the groups are so amazing and Ms. Joyce is so loving.

This place is like a second home for me. I never felt so much unconditional love and companionship at another place in my life!! There s not a single person in that building I wouldn t trust my life with. I d give 10 stars if possible!!!

I reached out, and never heard back. I sure hope someone with less self control than myself finds a better place to reach out to if they are in need of help with alcohol/substance abuse.

ADAAP is awesome! I had been through classes before but always felt like just another body in the classroom. At ADAAP, the staff strive to get to know each participant and are all knowledgeable in recovery. They care about each person and use their own personal experiences to help everyone who comes through their doors. I highly recommend this program.

Coming into this program I was probably like everyone else and wondered why me? Or this is not for me, I do not need this ... but I have definitely got something out of this program! I feel good coming to it and talking and relating with others. Joyce and the rest of the staff are AMAZING!!! Beyond amazing!!!! They do not look at us as just another number. They ask questions, they know your name, they notice if you have missed, and they help in many ways. Even if it is just a smile or a hug! I know that a simple gesture like that coming into this class on a bad day has completely turned my day around! I have needed the reassurance that I am enough and I feel that this class and the people in it has truly helped me and has continued to help me realize that! Thank you!!!!

ADAAP has a wonderful staff dedicated to helping people who suffer from Substance Use Disorder and their families. Joyce and Phyllis, along with the rest of the ADAAP team, have been instrumental in helping SO MANY people get their lives back together, and I am very grateful for their services. I love this place!

I can't thank ADAAP and their staff enough for their immense sincerity and support. It was difficult trying to bring myself to terms to admitting I had a problem and getting help. These reasons were due to the simple doubt I had of, does this even work? Am I wasting my time? Do they even care? Why would I embarrass myself like this and so forth. I can tell you it does work, you won't waste your time, you won't feel embarrased, I was so comfortable and they all really cared a lot! I would recommend this program to anyone who seeks help for any type of addiction. It's changed my life tremendously and I'm grateful of this program every single day!

Don E., Joyce, & Tammy are great! Everyone is great, actually. I really enjoyed the group atmosphere & felt like it was a safe space to share. I would recommend this IOP to anyone looking for an awesome experience.

After dealing with many rude, condescending people throughout the legal system, it was such a completely different experience dealing with the counselors and staff at ADAAP. Finding ADAAP was the one bright spot in many months of frustration and hassle. From the first experience I had of speaking to Rainbow, their receptionist on the phone, to the amazing compassionate counselors, to the friendships I have formed with other people in treatment, my entire experience with ADAAP has been positive. Not to mention they have multiple, flexible class schedules which made it easy for me to attend meetings around my work schedule. And they have been very willing to work within my budget and put me on a payment plan so I can afford treatment. Thanks ADAAP!

I attended IOP here last year and am just finishing AfterCare. This place is great. Everyone there is awesome friendly caring and supportive - both staff and students/attendees, especially staff member Joyce. I love her. This place made a difficult time in my life easier to handle and cope with. Thanks ADAAP.

I participated in the IOP program then subsequently (currently) participate in the Aftercare program. The Counselors and Speaker (myself in one instance so far) have been outstanding !

ADAAP is a great place where you can get the support that you need. I went to IOP and after 6 weeks I learned so much about myself and the disease that I have. I really encourage this place if you are lost and need to find guidance to stay clean.

I ve been struggling with addiction for 20 years and for the first time in my life I am finally freed from my addiction! I skeptical at first, but ADDAP and my counselor Joyce especially has been able to rehibilitate me and get to my core problems of why my addiction exists. If your looking for an IOP program that actually works, do not think twice about this amazing program they offer! It has changed my life and will change yours too!!!

I had a great treatment miss Joyce changed my life completely. I can say that I ve learned a lot of things from her and from the class. The athmosphere I m the classroom was always comfortable.

Was really a quality experience. Ms. Joyce made my orientation feel like a homecoming. Big Don E. was instrumental in congealing the varied personalities and stories of the group into a quality relaxed therapeutic environment. I would definitely recommend Don E. to any friend needing a cool older uncle to navigate their recovery.

I really love the staff and how organized it is. Most importantly, they really delve into sober living. I highly recommend this facility, you can really express yourself and be who you are. Thank you so much for giving me a real understanding of recovery.

I am extremely pleased with my experience at ADAAP! I feel like I can share my experiences without judgement. My counselor Miss Joyce is a God sent! She is straightforward and compassionate. She has helped me understand my underlying issues that I could have never been able to navigate on my own. Thank you ADAAP!

This place has been nothing but good to me. From the very first day I started in the program, I felt right at home. Every single one of the staff is so caring and helpful. I had the pleasure of Miss Joyce being my counselor. She was not only my counselor, but my friend. This program really helped me realize my addictions and take steps to stopping them.

I really am enjoying my time at adaap. My counselor Ms. Joyce is a lovely woman, really helpful and insightful and makes me feel a part of a family. This is the only place I have gone where I really feel I am getting help and want to participate.

Joyce McCullen has been such a blessing to this program and for my sobriety. Her positive attitude radiates through the building as she continues to encourage and motivate us to complete the program. Thank you Ms.Joyce for all you do and for who you are..

ADAAP has helped save my life, this place is full of compassionate, kinda and loving people. The best outpatient program I've ever been too! Still 4 more weeks to go of 8 and I look forward to coming each and everyday week I do! I highly recommend for anyone who needs help like I did.

The staff at ADAAP are amazing. The experience was educational, enlightening and compassionate. The fact that they offer weekend classes is great! Would definitely recommend being a part of the class with Miss Joyce's leadership and care.

Omg Mrs.Joyce is an amazing guidance and educator to the dwi rehabilitation knowledge and Mrs.Rainbow is the sweetest lady I ve never talked too. A really great experience I went through glad I was educated and learned more about people and there life stories. Great place to be.

Without a doubt, hands down, ADAAP is the finest IOP rehab in all of Austin! Their staff is first class and totally devoted to recovery! Their curriculum is totally enlightening and gives the clients essential tools to deal with recovery and relapse prevention! Their format is totally user friendly, not only educational, but informational, and hands on, allowing each client to express authentically what is currently going on with them so they can be healed! I thoroughly recommend this awesome place! Rev. Dr. Rainbow Johnson

If your hesitating on which IOP or program to choose please look no further. My schedule at work doesn't allow me to come in during the week and so I was able to go in on weekends. The staff is amazing. Joyce is an angel sent from heaven. Rainbow is someone you need to meet if you plan on getting your life together.

I can't believe how relatable everyone is. It is an amazing place to get sober if you want it they can give it to you! Mrs. Joyce and Mrs. Lanette are amazing women always happy to see you when you walk in. I believe everyone there is wonderful. Best treatment center I have ever been to. Thanks adaap for keeping me sober!

My name is Jim. I am in my 60's and an alcoholic for about 45years. I received my first DWI 30years ago and my second in 2016. It was at that point I realized I needed to heal. It has been very tough, but with the Staff, education and most important the caring support and knowledge of our counselor Miss J. I feel I can heal. Thank You ADAAP

Man I ve been to a lot of rehabs in my day and a lot of IOP AND aftercares as well and I gotta say this is the best one. The staff is not only knowledgeable about sobriety and the twelve step model but they also live by the same set of principles they teach about. I wish I could go here over and over but I ve stayed sober for so long I unfortunately have to depart soon. Wowza what a great place

I really enjoy aftercare at adaap. It gives me an opportunity to hear others life stories and knowing I m not alone makes a huge difference. I had two very amazing counselors that are real and heart to heart. Thank you Adaap for showing me a different way of life.

The Aftercare program at ADAAP makes the ISF program look like a waste of time and resources, if more probatIon officers used places like this to help rather than punish, the world just might be a little bit better place, thank you to everyone at ADAAP, if sobriety is your goal, this is your starting square...

This is a great place for people with alcohol and alcohol addiction. What I like the most is supportive and non judgmental atmosphere. People can open open up and share their stories, talk about everything regarding addiction, path to recovery and legal problems. The Group and staff support is
very beneficial. So far I have learned a lot about the nature of this disease and about myself.
I have been attending the Aftercare for over 6 months and I have seen some positive changes in me on psychological and emotional level. This program and wonderful therapists helped me become a better person. Every week I look forward to our meetings and participating in a group.
This is by far one of the best programs ever!

I m so glad I decides to take my class at ADAAP. I feel so blessed to have met Joyce. She really helped me feel hopeful and believe in recovery. She really cares and listens. Even though it was time consuming I m really going to miss my group and being around people that understand me and what I m going through. Thanks Joyce and ADAAP appreciate the random breakfast tacos!

Adaap is a very friendly, and afordable IOP treatment center. They really go out of there way to work with you. And if you you need someone to talk to they are there. Really recommend this place compared to some of the other IOP centers here in Austin.

I would like to thank Mrs Joyce for all the help and support she provided for me I was truly blessed to have her in my corner as my counselor and friend I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in getting top notch counseling she really cares about your well being.

This is the place to go if you desire to change your life for the better! I can say my attitude was changed from the very beginning to the end. The group is welcoming and provides all the tools necessary to fix any problems in your life! The instructors are amazing people that understand exactly where you are coming from.

I first walked in ADAAP thinking I was about to waste more money but it was worth every penny. This program is here for you. All you have to do is have an open mind. Even the smallest effort of your part will make a difference. Mrs Joyce has the biggest heart and she is sincere about wanting to help you reach sobriety. Frankly ADAAP and Mrs Joyce have been my answer and I thank them for that.

Mrs. Joyce has been absolutely amazing and helped me get through so much. The whole staff at ADAAP is wonderful and I highly recommend it. I did the iop and now in the after care and both are phenomenal

It may come off as just some other small office location you've got to go to because some judge, probation officer or whoever told you too but it's quite the opposite! This place isn't like the others. The employees/counselors don't ever make you feel like criminals/substance abuse users that cops or others may make you feel. But they don't act like a bunch of fakes either.

For those of us who have attended are so diverse and straight up! But don't get pushed to speak more than we want to. There's no upright, too good to be there attitudes being forced to sit in a circle and sing. Believe me, I would've found somewhere else to go! And on top of that, most of the staff have been in your shoes and they can usually even get the most closed up of ppl to even listen (if anything). At least walk in just once and you'll know what I mean.

This was certainly not a program I was a willing participant in when I first went in. But it did make me realize how I was drinking to cope with my struggles. It also helped me open up to my wife and become more understanding when dealing with family issues. My counselor is someone I look forward to seeing. She also has gone beyond the program to be involved with some of my family members to make sure I m being positively support by the important people in my life.

My name is Mason and I personally recommend the adaap program to anyone who has to go to IOP. Ms Joyce and Linette were awesome to me and helped me along the way. I have one day left and I will miss this place. Please go!!

An open and sensitive atmosphere where you ll always feel welcomed. The councilors and the program will set you on a healthier path. Never been happier to meet new people, very grateful for this place.

I wasn't sure of what to expect when I signed up for IOP. My primary purpose for going was to help me with a pending case. However, I learned so much about myself, and it really ended up being something I did for myself and my future. Julie is an awesome counselor. She's very relatable. IOP isn't just a class full of lectures. It's learning how to really live without drugs and alcohol. All of the staff is friendly and has our best interest at heart. Now I'm in aftercare, and I couldn't be happier. It's where we get to talk about life outside of IOP, and the IOP clients can see what aftercare is like. It's great!

When you hear of outpatient treatment or meetings,...

When you hear of outpatient treatment or meetings, you automatically think of everyone sitting in a circle telling them some sob story of their life. Adaap is not like that at all. I had to go in due to it being court mandated and I thought it was going to be the longest 6 weeks of my life but I have to say it has not been. If you need to get some outpatient treatment, come here. Every counselor and staff member is so welcoming and understanding. I have the pleasure of working with Ms. Joyce and it has been amazing. She is very real and does not judge. She works hard to make sure that we deal with the alcohol or drug problem but also within ourselves. Speaking with everyone and hearing their own advice has been beyond helpful. If other treatments have not worked, try here.
