Questions people ask about STEP Med

What programs does STEP Med offer?

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Dallas, 1 offers a bed.

Does STEP Med offer a detox?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Dallas, 3.3 miles away.

What other centers are nearby?

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

Is there an age limit at STEP Med?

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Dallas has 8 other centers to try.

Are there free support meetings in Dallas?

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

What if there is depression or anxiety as well?

It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.

How long will I be away?

Most residential programs are built around 30 days, which is a billing convention more than a clinical finding. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.

What does insurance actually cover?

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.
