Getting Addiction Treatment Help

If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of Texans suffering from a substance use disorder, the good news is that rehabilitation treatment can help you break free from your addiction. However, figuring out where to find providers or programs can be confusing and even overwhelming. Fortunately, you don’t have to go far to begin your search.

The directory listings on this page take you to reputable treatment providers in Texas and across the country. You can browse by state or city and learn more about the available treatment options and program amenities. You can also call to speak with a member of our rehab placement team to ask specific questions you may have and to connect with a treatment center.

Your family physician, therapist, or psychiatrist will likely have good recommendations for substance abuse treatment facilities and may be able to work in tandem with your rehab counselors to ensure continuity of care.

Many people know friends or family who have gone through addiction treatment and gotten clean, and they are frequently a good resource for recommendations because they can share what it’s like from a patient’s perspective.

If you have health insurance, call your benefits coordinator and find out which clinicians and programs are covered in your insurance network. It’s a good idea to research facilities both in Texas and out of state—you may prefer to attend treatment in a setting that’s removed from your familiar environment.

Where Else Can I Find Help?

Even if you don’t know anyone who’s been through drug or alcohol treatment, and/or you don’t have insurance, there are many options to find treatment and to help you pay for it.

Texas provides substance abuse treatment via Medicaid for those who meet qualifying criteria—primarily for low-income residents.

Local organizations frequently help residents find appropriate treatment, and many will even help you pay for it, if you demonstrate a need. Churches, nonprofits, and charitable organizations sometimes have funds dedicated to substance abuse treatment scholarships or grants. Call some of the organizations near you to find out what resources are offered.

Many treatment centers are flexible when it comes to financing. They may offer sliding scale options based on income, or help you work out a payment plan that fits within your budget. Some even offer their own partial or full scholarships to those who qualify.

There are many ways for you to find the treatment you need—start searching today.
