They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lufkin has 3 other centers within 14 miles.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Lufkin is the nearest place that does it, 1.6 miles away.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Lufkin.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Lufkin has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Lufkin.

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. Who sees a record inside a program is also limited, usually to the team treating you. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.

Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
