Texoma Community Center

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 2 centers within 14 miles of Sherman, 1 offers a bed.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Sherman are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Sherman, and there are 2 inside 14 miles.

Veterans are one of the 3 groups they offer a program for.

Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. A program that cannot answer these questions is telling you something useful.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.

Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
