Who oversees treatment
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) licenses and regulates chemical dependency treatment facilities in the state, with its Regulatory Services Division carrying out that work.
Prescription monitoring
The Texas Prescription Monitoring Program is run by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II through V controlled substances so prescribers and pharmacists can review a patient's history.

LGBTQ program (SAMHSA)Trauma-informedIOP / PHPFamily, rejection and recovery
Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.
Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.
What "LGBTQ-friendly" should mean
Friendly should mean more than a rainbow logo. Look for an actual LGBTQ group, staff training, inclusive intake forms with space for your name and pronouns, and policies against harassment from other clients.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
