Lifecore Health Group

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Houston is set up for.

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

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.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is past trauma.

It is the only one in that radius. Telemedicine is worth asking about where the nearest alternative is far.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.

A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. The longest lists tend to sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Ask what can be started while you wait.
