Cross Creek Hospital

They are set up for 4 levels: inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Austin, 1 offers a bed.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Austin has 8 other centers to compare.

Austin has 67 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 4 named here.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Austin, not all of them do.

Whether a particular program satisfies an order is a question for the court rather than for a directory page. Completion paperwork is routine, and asking for it at the end is normal rather than awkward. Confirm the program is on the approved list before the first session rather than after it.

Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

A recurrence is a reason to adjust the plan rather than evidence that treatment is pointless. What was learned the first time usually shapes a better plan the second. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
