Chapter House Counseling Center

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in Richardson.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Richardson, not all of them do.

Richardson has 72 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

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

One of their programs is built for adult men, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is the only one named here.

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Who you authorize, and what they are authorized to hear, are two separate choices on the same form. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.
