Transitional Living Program
An immersive aftercare experience specially designed to provide young men all the tools they need to be successful in recovery. Recovery cannot be taught – it must be experienced. With the support of our staff and a community of like-minded peers, Alpha 180 residents gain the self-confidence, life skills, and direction they need for lifelong recovery.
Healing
Our Clinical Approach
All members of Alpha 180 are paired with a primary therapist that they will work with one-on-one for the duration of their stay. Therapy is individualized for the unique needs of each student and may adapt as needs change throughout the course of your stay.
Our experience shows that treating trauma is pivotal to achieving long-term recovery. ‘Trauma’ can refer to any experience, big or small, that made you feel unsafe in the world. When left untreated, individuals will continue to use anything they can to get that sense of safety, regularly turning back to alcohol and drugs. When it is an appropriate fit for the client, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is a researched-based psychotherapy designed to alleviate distress caused by traumatic memories.
Many individuals that have experienced addiction struggle with feelings of shame. Our therapeutic approach is designed to help you uncover and utilize your unique strengths. As you navigate and overcome the challenges of early recovery, you and your therapist will work together to integrate these successes into your identity. The result is a feeling of confidence, gratitude, and excitement for the journey ahead!
Life Skills Development
Alpha 180 members share a desire to enjoy life and realize unknown potential. Regardless of where you are on your journey, our staff and residents will walk alongside you to achieve your dreams.
You will work directly with our Case Manager to set goals and navigate each step of the process at a pace that works for you. For students currently enrolled or seeking to enroll in coursework, these residents will receive a personal Education Specialist to make sure they are successful in school.
Residences
Alpha 180 Transitional Living Residences provide the structure and sense of community necessary for your recovery. Daytime and live-in staff provide accountability and direction so that you remain focused, as well as develop new life skills. You will work together with the other residents to create an environment that’s fun, encouraging, and truly feels like home.

Rite of Passage
Retreat
The Alpha 180 Rite of Passage is a 3-day intensive retreat.
Housed offsite in the Texas Hill Country, this experience facilitates a deeper dive into unresolved trauma, lingering emotional difficulties, reservations about long-term sobriety, relational stuck points, and the evolution to manhood. You will have the opportunity to apply and truly experience the healing power of the recovery process through the sharing and letting go of hurts, fears, and shame.
Strong bonds are built when peers face and overcome challenges together. The Rite of Passage utilizes the natural wilderness and guides students on a journey of self-exploration as they practice vulnerability and courage, supporting one another through their process of healing. This carefully designed process is facilitated by experienced, licensed clinicians that have taken the time to build a strong relationship with you in order to safely guide you through your own journey. The result is renewed personal confidence and deeply forged peer relationships with which you will walk forward in your recovery.
