South Meadows Recovery provides outpatient addiction treatment in Austin for adults who are ready for a lower-intensity level of clinical support. Most clients enter outpatient care as a planned step down after PHP or IOP while continuing to live at home or in supportive housing.
Outpatient care helps clients continue applying the recovery skills built in PHP or IOP while maintaining work, school, family, and other daily responsibilities. Treatment is individualized and may include counseling, support, life skills, coping-skills practice, clinical groups, and relapse-prevention planning based on each client’s needs.

Outpatient care is structured around each client’s step-down plan, progress, and clinical needs. The frequency and length of care can be adjusted as clients continue building stability and independence in recovery.
South Meadows Recovery is conveniently located near I-35 and Grand Avenue Parkway in Austin, TX. If you’re unsure whether traditional outpatient treatment or a more structured Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is appropriate, our admissions team can help you understand the differences and determine the right level of care.
Traditional outpatient treatment provides a lower level of structure than an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Most clients use outpatient care after PHP or IOP as part of a planned step-down process, with continued clinical support and greater flexibility as they progress in recovery. Direct placement into outpatient care may be considered only when it is clinically appropriate. Our admissions team can help determine the right level of care for each person’s needs.
