Eudaimonia Recovery Homes

In most cases, individuals seeking a continuum of recovery care in the Austin, Texas area are transitioning from other cities or states. During a recovering individual's stay in a residential inpatient facility, medication is often prescribed during the treatment process. Being new to a city or state, creates obstacles in establishing a relationship with a doctor. To help with the transition, Eudaimonia Recovery Homes utilizes Dr. Fredric Wilson's services to help recovery individuals be assessed and continue their prescribed medication in their treatment process.

After primary addiction treatment, Eudaimonia Recovery Homes has designed an addiction curriculum, with the goal of long-term, even lifetime, recovery that includes abstinence from alcohol, drug use and achieving a life of happiness.

Relapse is most common in the first 90 days after completion of primary treatment. Our Recovery Support Program is designed to help clients achieve a foundation of recovery, in this time frame.

The primary focus of our Recovery Support Program is to; develop and learn life skills, grow and participate in a program of recovery. To aid in the building of a firm foundation in recovery and assist in preventing relapse, our Recovery Support Program is comprised of the following:

AMP – Addiction Monitoring Program
Three Phase Program
SEV – Support Employment Volunteering
Alcohol & Core Drug Screening & Toxicology Reporting

Hi, my name is Chris Barr. I am currently working as a Counselor-Intern at Eudaimonia Recovery Homes and I am also in recovery. My journey began a little over five years ago and has continued to grow every day since. Working at Eudaimonia Recovery Homes allows me to work with individuals that are transitioning into a sober living environment, and if you are in recovery, you know that this can be a big step. My mission is to help guide these individuals through this process and hopefully make their transition as smooth as possible.

My name is Lafayette Tiberghien. I’m originally from Georgia, served in the US Army for 7 years as an administrative specialist, and moved to Texas in March 2012. I began my journey of recovery on 6/14/12. I began working in the industry in 2012, in various rolls, including resident and office manager. In 2014, I joined the Eudaimonia family as a facilitator. I interact and assist with coordination of sobriety compliance, online admission’s inquiries, group facilitations and additional supportive roles within the organization.

After battling with substance abuse since the age of 13, Chris got sober on July 13, 2010 at the age of 30. One thing Chris never thought would be possible in recovery was having fun or fulfillment in life while sober. After committing to a program and building a strong recovery foundation he quickly realized that there was more fun and fulfillment than he could have imagined. Upon his completion of a residential treatment facility ,he has gone on to become a well-established member of different recovery related communities and held multiple terms on the board of directors for a non-profit organization whose primary focus is showing individuals new to recovery that there is a whole new kind of fun and rewarding side of life to be had outside of addiction. One thing Chris is the most grateful for is the authentic connections he has made with his fellows by just being himself and the joy he has form being able to help others recovery form a seemingly hopeless state. He began with Eudaimonia Recovery Homes In October 2014 and is an admissions coordinator for both the Austin and Houston locations. Chris brings a high energy and hopeful spirit to both the individual looking to start a new beginning for themselves in the Eudaimonia Recovery Home program as well as any of their loved ones supporting process.

I became a part of the recovery field in June of 2011 and have loved every day of it. I joined the Nova Recovery Center team in July of 2012. I am the current AMP Manager in Houston, Texas, for the Eudaimonia Recovery Homes. I work directly with our clients that live in the homes on a daily basis. I help them navigate the small nuances that come with being newly sober. I hold them accountable to their behavior, by showing how to turn a negative situation in to a growth opportunity. With every situation that they walk through, is an opportunity for them to grow. Working with the families on a weekly basis as a liaison between the client and the family member to help rebuild the broken relationship. Along with helping the client build a solid foundation in recovery for the next step in life. It is an extremely rewarding job, with extremely happy endings.
