The Meadows Outpatient
Austin
CONVENIENT TREATMENT IN THE STATE CAPITAL
Perfect for those who have already completed a residential, inpatient or partial-hospitalization treatment program or someone who doesn’t require a higher level of care, The Meadows Outpatient Center-Austin is based on Pia Mellody’s time-tested Meadows Model of Developmental Immaturity. Let us work with you to determine the safest and most appropriate program for your specific treatment needs.
About Us
Located in Central Texas, Austin is known for its many parks and lakes, an eclectic music scene, and as home to the University of Texas flagship campus. Our welcoming facility in North Austin is less than five miles from The Domain and close to the state capitol and the popular Lady Bird Lake, making it the ideal place to begin your recovery journey. We offer intensive outpatient and partial-hospitalization treatment to address substance use, mental health, and trauma.
Our Program
Our all-inclusive, eight-week intensive outpatient program includes 9 to 20 hours of on-site programming services each week with day and evening options to best fit your schedule.
Treatment is tailored to each person’s unique history, needs, and recovery goals. Based on a thorough assessment and ongoing evaluation, the clinical team determines which therapies and treatment modalities are appropriate for each patient’s care plan. Not all treatment modalities are available at every Meadows Outpatient Center, and treatment options may vary by location.
Amenities
Treatment may incorporate a range of therapeutic and experiential approaches designed to support the whole person. Depending on individual needs and location offerings, these may complement group and one-on-one therapy as part of a holistic treatment experience. Optional Friday activities may include Trauma-Sensitive Yoga and Arts.
Patients also receive access to Meadows Daily+, our secure patient support app that extends care beyond scheduled appointments, giving patients a way to reflect on their recovery, practice therapeutic skills, and stay connected with both their clinician and their treatment goals between sessions.

Men’s Issues Group
Sex is part of a normal, healthy life, but when sexual activities or thoughts become consuming or habit-forming, it crosses the line into addiction. Our Men’s Issues Group was established specifically to help men dealing with these complex issues. Participants are allowed to be human, bringing struggles back to the group to be processed and shared with each other. Peer support is used to truly engage and teach men how to reach out to one another, especially in times of crisis. The Meadows Outpatient Center-Austin has a proven track record of treating this disorder using Dr. Patrick Carnes’ 30 Task Model.

Erie Hebert, LCSW-S, LCDC, CAPTAIN (USA, RET.)
Executive DIRECTOR, Meadows Outpatient Services-Austin/Houston
Erie Hebert earned undergraduate degrees in business administration from the University of New Orleans and in social work from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. He also holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California and is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed chemical dependency counselor.
His unique career path began when he fell in love with the local food and music scene in his native New Orleans. Hebert studied business, planning to specialize in the restaurant industry. That environment proved problematic, though, for someone with a family history of addiction co-occurring mental health issues. After attending long-term treatment and an extended care program, Hebert decided to join the military. He served for 10 years in the US Army, with deployments to Baghdad and Iraq. Medically retired after wounds sustained from combat action, Hebert returned to school to remake himself as a therapist.
His experience in the treatment field includes roles as a clinical director, social worker, case manager, and therapist serving populations that include active-duty and retired military personnel, domestic violence survivors, and others in residential, outpatient, and sober living settings.
The issues of addiction and trauma are intensely personal for Hebert, who has struggled with his own addictions, combat trauma, and childhood trauma. He also lost his 19-year-old son to addiction and mental illness. Through it all, his support system rallied around him, instilling in him a desire to pay that forward by serving others.
Hebert joined the Meadows Behavioral Healthcare team in early 2023 to open The Meadows Outpatient Center-Austin. Along with the administrative tasks, business functions, and supervision/mentoring of clinical staff, he will be infusing and maintaining fidelity to the Meadows Model of care with every staff interaction, group led, and individual session conducted.
“I believe that asking for help is a strength, and it is an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to positively affect someone’s life,” Hebert says.
Married with two young daughters who keep him on his toes, in his free time, Hebert is a running enthusiast, Crossfit Level 1 certified, and an avid foodie.
