About Cenikor Foundation
Cenikor Foundation in Waco provides comprehensive addiction treatment from medical detox through residential treatment, intensive outpatient care, and sober living. The 55-bed recovery center serves individuals throughout Central Texas with medication-assisted treatment, CBT, and extensive aftercare support including recovery housing and coaching.
Cenikor Foundation operates a comprehensive addiction treatment facility in Waco, Texas, offering a continuum of care that supports individuals throughout their entire recovery journey. Located on Herring Avenue in McLennan County, this 55-bed rehab center provides medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and sober living services under one roof with 24-hour operations. The facility maintains CARF accreditation and serves clients across Central Texas seeking integrated substance abuse treatment.
The recovery center delivers multiple levels of care designed to meet individuals at different stages of their recovery process. Medical detox services provide medically supervised withdrawal management, while residential treatment offers intensive therapeutic support in a structured environment. Clients can transition to intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that allow greater flexibility while maintaining therapeutic engagement, and access onsite sober living accommodations that bridge the gap between residential treatment and independent recovery.
Cenikor Foundation's treatment approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and personalized care planning. Recovery coaching and comprehensive aftercare planning ensure continuity of support beyond initial treatment phases. The facility emphasizes practical recovery skills development alongside therapeutic intervention, preparing clients for sustained sobriety through structured programming and peer support networks.
The rehab center welcomes men, women, veterans, and court-ordered clients, including those managing co-occurring mental health disorders alongside substance use disorders. Staff provide services in both English and Spanish, while payment options include private insurance, Medicaid, TRICARE, and self-pay arrangements with payment assistance available. Veterans receive specialized programming that addresses military-specific recovery needs, and the facility's onsite recovery housing creates opportunities for extended community support and alumni connections that strengthen long-term recovery outcomes.
Medical Detox and Residential Treatment Services
Cenikor Foundation's medical detox program provides medically supervised withdrawal management as the foundation for comprehensive addiction treatment. The facility's residential treatment program offers intensive therapeutic support in a structured 55-bed environment, allowing clients to focus entirely on early recovery skill development and therapeutic engagement.
Residential clients benefit from 24-hour operational support and personalized care planning that addresses individual recovery needs. The program integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with medication-assisted treatment options, creating a therapeutic framework that supports both immediate stabilization and longer-term recovery preparation.
Outpatient Programs and Community Integration
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Cenikor Foundation allows clients to maintain work, family, and community commitments while receiving structured addiction treatment. This flexibility makes outpatient care particularly valuable for individuals transitioning from residential treatment or those whose circumstances require continued community engagement during recovery.
IOP participants access the same therapeutic methods available in residential programming, including CBT and medication-assisted treatment, while building practical recovery skills in real-world settings. The program's structure supports gradual independence while maintaining therapeutic accountability and peer support connections.
Sober Living and Aftercare Support
Cenikor Foundation's onsite recovery housing provides structured sober living that bridges residential treatment and independent living. This recovery housing option allows clients to practice newly developed sobriety skills while maintaining access to facility resources and peer support networks that strengthen long-term recovery outcomes.
Aftercare support includes recovery coaching that continues beyond formal treatment completion, helping alumni navigate ongoing recovery challenges. The combination of onsite sober living and extended coaching creates a comprehensive support system that addresses the practical realities of maintaining sobriety in community settings.
Veteran Services and Specialized Programming
Veterans receive specialized addiction treatment that addresses military-specific recovery challenges and trauma-related concerns. Cenikor Foundation accepts TRICARE insurance and provides programming designed around veteran experiences, creating peer connections among military alumni and addressing service-related factors that may impact recovery.
