If substance use has taken over your life or the life of someone you love, you may be feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or unsure where to turn. You may have tried to quit and relapsed, or you recognize that something needs to change. Whatever the reason, you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate recovery on your own.
At Cedar Park TMS, we offer compassionate, nonjudgmental treatment for substance use disorders. We focus on helping you rebuild your health, your confidence, and your hope. Call our psychiatric clinic today for a consultation and learn more about substance abuse treatment in Austin.
Substance abuse is not a matter of willpower. It is a complex condition that affects your brain, body, and emotions. Over time, repeated use of alcohol, prescription drugs, or other substances can lead to dependency. Stopping not only feels difficult but also impossible. Common signs of a substance use disorder include:
At our office, you will be greeted with kindness, respect, and a substance abuse treatment approach tailored to you. We take time to understand your health history, your relationship with substances, and the emotional challenges that may be fueling your use.
Many people living with addiction in Austin also experience depression, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms, which is why our treatment focuses on the whole picture, not just the substance itself.
Since 2008, we have been helping patients manage mental health symptoms with the support of medications. In some cases, certain medications can help reduce cravings, stabilize mood, and prevent relapse. Whether you are coming off opioids, alcohol, or stimulants, we could help you understand your drug abuse therapy options in Austin and decide what is right for you.
If you are on medication that is not working well, we could explore alternatives or adjustments together, always keeping your safety and comfort in mind.
When you struggle with substance abuse, you may also be dealing with major depressive disorder or treatment-resistant depression, either as a cause or a result of your substance use. If you have tried antidepressants without success, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) might offer new hope.
TMS is an FDA-approved, drug-free treatment for depression. It works by using focused magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain that help regulate mood and motivation.
TMS is a tolerable, non-invasive therapy that does not require sedation or recovery time. It can be integrated into your substance abuse care plan at our office in Austin, and for many people, it is a crucial point in their path to healing.
Substance use does not define who you are. Whether you are at the beginning of your recovery journey or returning to treatment after a relapse, we will meet you with understanding and zero judgment. Our team is here to walk with you, not lecture you.
We are your hometown provider, deeply rooted in this community, and we genuinely care about helping our neighbors live fuller, healthier lives. You do not need to have it all figured out before contacting us. If you are ready to talk, call us today and schedule your consultation for substance abuse treatment in Austin. We could help you explore your options, create a plan that works for you, and take the next step forward, together.
