Addiction & Psychotherapy Services is an opioid treatment center (OTP) offering methadone and Suboxone (buprenorphine) treatment. Founded in 1982, the clinic is a private S-corporation, funded entirely by client fees. We provide opiate- addicted/multiple diagnosis patients with opioid replacement therapy, auricular acupuncture and a broad range of psychological/psychiatric and rehabilitative services. The clinic is located at 2824 South Congress, in a building designed and built specifically for Addiction & Psychotherapy Services. It is located between Oltorf and Ben White, across from St. Edwards University, just south of the Great Outdoors Nursery.

As all funding for the clinic is private, services cannot be provided for free or at reduced rates. For government subsidized treatment, please call Austin Travis County MHMR at (512) 472-6261.


Our mission is to provide comprehensive, high quality outpatient services for our patients. Operating with no profits, we strive to offer services at the lowest possible fees. Our goals are to:
     (1) rapidly stabilize opiate-addicted patients on methadone or buprenorphine, allowing normal functioning without further opiate abuse,
     (2) treat  psychological/psychiatric problems, assist with pain management, and assist in referrals for medical and other problems,
     (3) offer a wide range of services, including relapse prevention, educational and therapy groups, and auricular acupuncture
     (4) offer assistance when tapering patients off opioid medication and treatment is concluded.
