WTCR Garland

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

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 5 of the 8 centers near Garland offer one at all.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Garland does.

Garland has 64 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Dallas, 4.6 miles away.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Garland are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.

It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.
