East Texas Clinic Inc

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

They provide detox for 1 substance: opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Longview has 3 other centers.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Longview, because a wide age range often still means one room.

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

They prescribe methadone and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Longview.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
