Mayo Clinic Health System Fountain Ctr

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Austin has 1 other center within 14 miles.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Austin does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Austin has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Austin.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Austin are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.

Nearly every plan includes something for this, and the detail is in which level of care it will approve. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.

Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. The longest lists sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
