can honestly say this rehab saved my life.
When I walked through the doors, I was completely broken — physically, mentally, and spiritually. I didn’t think anything or anyone could help me. But from day one, the staff treated me with respect, compassion, and real understanding. They didn’t just treat my addiction — they treated me as a person.
The counselors truly cared and took the time to listen. The medical team made sure I was safe and comfortable during detox. The structure, therapy sessions, and support groups helped me understand the root of my struggles instead of just covering them up. For the first time in a long time, I felt hope.
What makes this place different is the genuine love and accountability. They pushed me when I needed it and supported me when I felt weak. They taught me tools I use every single day to stay sober and rebuild my life.
Today, I have clarity, purpose, and a future I never thought was possible. If you’re scared, unsure, or feel like you’re at the end of your rope — please give this place a chance. It truly saved my life, and it could save yours too.
Forever grateful

My experience at center Court Austin was truly life changing. The people truly care! Mollie Miller and the rest of the staff have went above and beyond to help me and keep me sober and I'm forever grateful. I absolutely recommend this foundation to anyone that truly want to get and stay sober.

I don’t know where to begin. I went to detox for alcohol on January 4. The staff is unbelievable. They have so much kindness care and consideration. This was the first time I’ve been to a rehab in the past I thought I could do it on my own and I found out I could not they taught me so many valuable lessons they taught me how to redirect my thoughts.
I am very grateful for that. Miss Molly Miller saved my life.
My counselor Austin thank you for all of your help.

I needed to take time out to give a big shout out to Cenikor Austin! I graduated December 30th 2025, was helped into sober living, and am STILL sober. 55 days today! 😁 Who would have thought such a short program could activate such a change??? The design of this program, excellent. The food, exceptional. The success rate/alumni, off the chain! 🤗 And for ALL of the staff...there's not enough words or space to say how I feel about what they do for the women and men there on a daily basis. From the cooks to the case managers, I experienced nothing but GENUINE care, love, and concern. MOLLIE, DAVID, JUSTIN, AUSTIN, MATT, CHRISTINE, GLORIA, DONALD, JOHNNY, SAWYER, CHARLOTTE, HEATHER, HUNTER, and ANDREA...thank you from the bottom of my heart and I love you all!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing, Nancy! We are so grateful for this recovery community—both team and clients—and so proud to be a part of your journey!

"I can truly say that Cenikor Austin saved my life. I am currently 9 months sober, and I owe so much of that success to the tools and support I received here. The staff truly cares, and the environment gave me the foundation I needed to rebuild my future. If you are struggling and feel like there’s no way out, please give this place a chance. It was the best decision I ever made."
Response from the owner:Thank you, Bernard! We are so proud of you & always here to support your continued success.

My recent experience with Cenikor-Austin as a medical detox and residential rehabilitation facility was in fact only a begining, but in the best possible sense. Go here if you are in need of help, empathy, compassion, and care. My experience left me feeling whole and human. Real people who understand real problems and have a real solution. To be completely honest it was my very first stop in my journey to becoming a whole person. I had no previously experience, didn't know what to expect, and was afraid. The staff and medical team never sugar coated things for me;these people have literally been in your shoes. I was treated with dignity and respect but they do have rules, set boundaries, teach you skills to cope with your vices and sometimes call you out when you can't be honest with yourself. When you want help, look no further. They do respect your spiritual beliefs and accept you regardless of what those are. They train you on the 12-step principles of our disease called addiction, but do not shove those ideas down your throat. Allowing me to heal, at my pace was the greatest gift anyone has given me in a very long time. If you are looking for a cure, good luck. If you are looking for re-entry into a life you once had or one that you thought you would never achieve, look no further. Welcome to your new family, My name is Ham and I am an addict.
P.S. Thanks for reading and please, never stop fighting for yourself. We are somebody and we are stronger than we ever give ourselves the credit for...YOU got this! Love, Ham
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing! We are so grateful for the trust on your recovery journey & honored to be a part of it!
