Sobering Center Austin

The Sobering Center provides a safe place for publicly intoxicated individuals to sober up and, when appropriate, provides a bridge to recovery.

Do you ever wonder what a typical stay at the Sobering Center is like for a client? Our process of care includes four main components that happen to achieve diversion, safe sobering, and intervention! ☀️

@austintexaslisa @chitovela3 This was our first time to host a Giving Tuesday event or to give awards to community leaders who have made it possible for us to continue our life saving work. None of the funds spent on the event were tax payer dollars. Email [email protected] with your concerns.

@Artiethelogo @chitovela3 It's a bit more complicated than that. People don't typically leave, but if they do, sometimes they go to jail, sometimes home, sometimes hospital. Feel free to email your questions directly to [email protected]

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. There is a plethora of reasons why people decide to drink or not drink! Understanding what alcohol is and how it impacts the body can help you make the best decisions for yourself. 🧡

Returning to use is often a part of people’s path to recovery. Our team has the privilege of supporting people along the way whether recovery is new to them or they have been on their journey for some time. 🧡

Sorry we're closed Tomorrow the center will be without water so we decided to take this time to do some all staff training. The Center will close to at 12pm today and reopen 3/21 at 7am. The decision to close the center is not one we take lightly, but is sometimes necessary! ⭐️
