Testimonials
"Whenever I need to refer an addicted client to a physician, Dr. Munden is the first choice. His skill, knowledge, experience and mastery of the lost art of an understanding bedside manner combine to rank him tops in his field."
John O'Neil
Intervention Specialist, Spiritual Director
Catholic Diocese of Central Texas

"I have known and worked with Dr. Munden for over ten years, and I find him to be kind, caring and professional. He has an excellent reputation in the community, and I don't hesitate to refer patients to him."
Dr. James Maynard
Austin, TX

"When I first went to see Dr. Munden for an assessment I was in denial about my drinking and reluctant to seek help. I was also a skeptic, sure that he would try to "convince" me I had a problem and immediately recommend treatment. Much to my surprise, he did neither. Instead, he helped me see that I was heading down a dangerous path, and that I didn't have to "hit bottom" to choose a better path - one that offered hope. It was an incredible relief to know that I had options."
Robert R.
Patient

"I felt such guilt and shame when I first sought help for my addiction. Dr. Munden treated me with a complete lack of judgment, which helped me to stop judging myself and begin accepting responsibility instead. He offers compassionate, realistic care."
Maria S.
Patient

"Dr. Munden was especially helpful to me during the difficult transition from a treatment facility back into my work and family life. Now, with several years of sobriety, I continue to trust his guidance. His suggestions are down-to-earth, twelve-step based, and offer workable solutions for my life in recovery."
Lisa C.
Patient

"As a family member, I will never forget the honest, kind and sensitive way that Butch [Dr. Munden] educated me about my husband's addiction. Addiction is a medical illness that is intially both foreign and incredibly scary. Dr. Munden guided us through the stages of treatment with practicality and empathy that gave me great relief and hope for the future.

Now I consider our journey to my husband's (and my own) recovery to be one of the greatest gifts of our marriage. I will always be grateful for the introduction that Butch gave us to the love, honety, and even humor that are vibrant parts of a life in recovery.

To quote the teenage son whose mother finally came under Dr. Munden's care after years of alcohol abuse, 'He's the Man!'"
