What AVA Recovery does

AVA Recovery is a luxury, privately-held residential addiction treatment facility located on a 7-acre property at 815 Elliott Ranch Rd in Buda, Texas, approximately 20 minutes outside the Austin metropolitan area. The center serves adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, delivering a full continuum of care that includes medical detoxification (5–14 days), residential inpatient treatment (30–90 days), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), standard outpatient care, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders, and lifetime alumni/aftercare support. The facility is Joint Commission (JCAHO) accredited and serves both insured and self-pay clients seeking premium, private treatment environments.

The clinical model blends evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR trauma therapy, and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy using the Natural Lifemanship model. Staffing emphasizes a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio with master-level clinicians, licensed therapists, daily nursing support, a Medical Director, Nurse Practitioner, and Primary Therapists holding credentials such as LCDC, LMSW, MA, and QMHP. The facility is differentiated by boutique luxury amenities (semi-private rooms, outdoor pool, chef-prepared meals, ice baths, rec room) designed to provide a secluded environment away from everyday triggers.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance reimbursement from major commercial PPO carriers (Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Anthem, Humana, ComPsych, Beacon Health Options, MultiPlan, ValueOptions) as well as HMO, EPO, POS, Medicaid/Medicare, and self-pay arrangements. The go-to-market model is sales-led, relying on a 24/7 admissions hotline, online insurance verification forms, and professional referrals from healthcare providers and interventionists. Marketing emphasizes SEO-driven organic search, content marketing, and organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube targeting individuals and families seeking premium addiction treatment primarily in Texas. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or external funding, and references founder involvement ("Casey and his team") without formal disclosure of ownership structure.

Products and services

• Medical Detoxification Program Supervised detox program that helps clients safely withdraw from drugs and alcohol under medical supervision, managing withdrawal symptoms through a structured three-step process of evaluation, stabilization, and entry into treatment (typically 5-14 days). Designed for adults with substance use disorders who require medically managed withdrawal before progressing to residential care.
• Residential Inpatient Treatment Intensive residential program where clients live on-site at the 7-acre Buda, Texas facility and receive 24/7 care including individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic treatments, typically lasting 30-90 days. Designed for adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders who need immersive, structured care with a one-to-one staff-to-client ratio.
• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Structured outpatient program providing intensive therapeutic services without an overnight stay, allowing clients to receive comprehensive treatment while returning home or to sober living each day as a step-down from residential care. Targeted at clients transitioning out of inpatient treatment who still need substantial daily clinical support.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Mid-level outpatient treatment option delivering structured therapy through multiple sessions per week so individuals can maintain work, family, or education commitments while continuing recovery. Designed as a step-down from PHP or as an entry point for clients with less acute needs.
• Outpatient Drug Rehab Flexible outpatient treatment programs that allow clients to live at home while attending scheduled treatment sessions, serving as a step-down from more intensive levels of care (IOP, PHP, residential). Targeted at clients in maintenance-phase recovery or those with milder treatment needs.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Comprehensive MAT program combining FDA-approved medications (methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, disulfiram, clonidine) with counseling and therapy to manage cravings, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery from opioid and alcohol addiction. Integrated with the broader residential and outpatient continuum.
• Dual Diagnosis Treatment Integrated treatment for individuals experiencing both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and OCD. Delivered alongside the residential and outpatient continuum with master-level clinicians.
• Aftercare & Alumni Support Ongoing support services following completion of residential treatment, including individual and group therapy, medication management, 12-step support groups, and lifetime alumni program access. Designed to sustain recovery outcomes for graduates of AVA Recovery programs.
