They provide inpatient residential and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Desoto is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They provide detox for 3 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Dallas has 8 other centers.

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

There are 8 more within a short drive of Dallas, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Dallas has 508 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.

It depends which level of care you are asking about, because they run on different clocks. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
