Frequently Asked Questions About Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Austin

Where is Nova Recovery Center’s rehab located?

Nova Recovery Center serves the Austin, Texas area. Our residential (inpatient) program is located in Wimberley, about 45 minutes from Austin, and we offer outpatient services accessible to the greater Austin community. Contact us to learn which programs and locations fit your needs.

How long does drug and alcohol rehab last?

Length of treatment varies by individual and level of care. Residential rehab commonly lasts 30, 60, or 90 days, with longer stays often associated with better outcomes. Detox is typically shorter, and outpatient programs continue on a flexible schedule. Your care team will recommend a length of stay based on your assessment and progress.

Inpatient (residential) rehab is a live-in program with 24/7 care and structure, ideal for those who need intensive support or medical supervision. Outpatient rehab, including our IOP, lets you live at home while attending scheduled treatment, offering more flexibility for those who don’t require round-the-clock care. Many people step down from inpatient to outpatient as they progress.
