About
Alpha 180 is a lifestyle support program for young men (aged 17-29) in sobriety who are looking to achieve their dreams. We are a community of like-minded peers, incorporating brotherhood, community outreach, and fellowship through a common call to purpose. We are situated in the heart of the West Campus student housing district – walking distance from the University of Texas and Austin Community College.For Clients
Are you ready to live and enjoy life in recovery?
Are you looking for a community that gets you?
Are you scared to go back to school or begin a career sober?
Early recovery can be a very stressful and daunting time. Making new friends, finding a job, or planning to go back to school can seem like impossible feats. Alpha 180 is a community of like-minded peers here to help you navigate all the joys and challenges of recovery.
From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed and taken in by a band of brothers. Driven by unity and shared ambition, this brotherhood becomes the centerpiece for the journey that lies ahead. As clients become more acquainted with their new lives in recovery, they’ll begin to take on leadership roles within the community and help newcomers the same way.
At Alpha 180, we believe that long-term recovery is driven by discovering purpose. As clients embark on their own journey through recovery, they will also start to pursue their own professional or academic goals. Whether you are looking to go back to school, or achieve other goals, you are welcome at Alpha 180 and we will walk with you to slowly, safely navigate your individual path to success. Discover what lies ahead.
For Families
Is it overwhelming trying to pick the right program for your son?
Are you looking for a program that supports your son’s academic or career goals?
Would you like to feel supported too?
From the very first contact, family members of prospective Alpha 180 clients are supported in their own journey of healing as they launch their loved ones in young adulthood and recovery. Many parents have spent years mitigating the damage of addiction while attempting to control their loved one’s life and keep them safe. Our clinicians take the time to guide parents while rebuilding trust in their sons as they safely navigate early recovery.
Weekly therapy sessions
During weekly phone calls or in-person sessions, our therapists focus attention on teaching communication and self-care skills to help parents shift focus from the addiction to their own healing. We provide the day-to-day needs of our clients, which gives family members the freedom to focus on enjoying the relationship with their loved one. When challenges arise, therapists are available to help navigate them safely and effectively.
Quarterly Family Weekends
Furthermore, all Alpha 180 clients and their families participate in a quarterly Family Weekend. While therapy and psycho-education are inter-woven in this experience, Family Weekend is about experiencing the miracle of recovery firsthand and enjoying time with one-another. Because all of our clients share commonality in age and background, family members create an instant bond with the other parents. The Family Weekend is an important opportunity to step out of the fear and distrust of addiction and step into the miracle of healing that recovery has afforded.

What services does Alpha 180 offer?
How do we work with other professionals?
We work closely with referring professionals to offer clients and their families an aligned system of support. Many families benefit from additional services beyond the scope of our offerings. We regularly refer to qualified providers when clients or their families require supplementary support or a different level of care.
Healthy communication and alignment of goals is crucial to recovery. Our team is experienced handling the delicate considerations of treatment planning, program transitions, and family dynamics. We are not a fit for everyone and carefully assess every client to be sure they are appropriate for Alpha 180.
