Tropical Texas Behavioral Health

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and San Benito is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Harlingen. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Harlingen.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Harlingen.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Harlingen offers both.

Within 14 miles there are 3 other centers, across San Benito.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.

Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
