The Womens Home

They treat people at outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Houston offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Houston does.

They treat young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, alongside programs for adult women and mental health disorders, which is more than most places around Houston name.

Alongside this, Houston has 124 NA meetings and 1,275 free AA meetings.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Houston.

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
