Integral Care - Ambulatory Detoxification

They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Austin, 2 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids and alcohol. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Austin offer one at all.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Austin has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Austin, 4.1 miles away.

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

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Austin differ on it.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.

There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
