Recovery Center

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient residential, inpatient hospital and outpatient. Of the 5 centers within 14 miles of Wichita Falls, 1 offers a bed.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Wichita Falls is the nearest place that does it, 1.9 miles away.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Wichita Falls has 5 other centers to ask.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Wichita Falls.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Wichita Falls may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Plenty of programs accept referrals from a court, a probation officer or a child welfare agency. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Clothing rules exist at many places, usually about what is written on it rather than what it costs. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
