Looking for treatment in Texas can involve several different starting points. Your location, care needs, and payment options all matter.
Use the state’s treatment resources
Texas Health and Human Services lists adult substance use services and routes to state-funded programs. Its Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral (OSAR) network helps Texas residents begin exploring substance use services. The state directory organizes providers by region and county.
Find your region in the Texas OSAR directory.
Plan around the practical details
- Identify the county where you live and the distance you can travel.
- Ask whether appointments are available near home or whether travel would be required.
- Discuss transportation, work, family responsibilities, and follow-up care.
- Confirm eligibility, insurance participation, and charges directly with each program.
