Dallas County Treatment Center - Metro Treatment of Texas LP

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Dallas, 2 offer a bed.

They provide detox for 1 substance: opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Dallas has 8 other centers.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Dallas.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Dallas are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Dallas is something they handle.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. A program that cannot answer these questions is telling you something useful.

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. If a plan declines a level of care there is an appeal, and appeals are used more often than people expect.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Naltrexone works the other way and blocks the effect, so it needs a period of abstinence before it can be started. Ask what happens to the prescription on the day the program ends.
