Treatment across Dallas, area by area
What each part of town has on our list, and what it does not.
The short answer
Treatment across Dallas is spread unevenly. Our list shows 18 programs in six areas, and no single area offers every level of care to every person. Pick the level of care first, then look at where it is.

What each area has on our list
A level of care is how much support a person gets, from a few hours a week to living at a program. Here is what our list showed in November 2026. Partial hospitalization means treatment for much of the day, then home at night. Intensive outpatient means several sessions a week. Sober living is shared housing with no alcohol or drugs.
North Dallas: detox, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient and sober living. Residential care and medication treatment are not listed.
Oak Lawn: partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient, medication treatment and sober living. Detox and residential care are not listed.
East Dallas: all seven levels, but detox, residential care and medication treatment are at programs that serve women.
South Dallas: detox, residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient and medication treatment. Sober living is not listed.
Irving and Plano: detox, residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and medication treatment at one program each. Regular outpatient and sober living are not listed.
How to weigh a short drive against the right care
A close program only helps if it offers the care a person needs. Someone who gets sick when they cut back may need medical detox, even with a longer ride. Someone stable and living at home may fit outpatient care close by.
It helps to count the trips. Residential care, where you live at the program, usually means one long drive at the start and another at the end. Day programs mean the same drive several times a week, so a shorter route matters more there. If a family member will be driving, count their trips too.
Think about your hardest week as well. A route that feels fine on a good day may be too much when you are tired, sick or without a car. If you do not drive, ask whether the program offers transportation or virtual sessions.
Programs outside these six areas
Three programs on our full list sit outside these areas: Greenhouse Treatment Center in Grand Prairie, Tru Dallas Detox & Recovery Center in Euless, and Texas Recovery Centers in Scurry. All three list detox and residential care. See the full list of Dallas programs for their numbers.
Questions to ask before you rule out a drive
- Is this the level of care I need?
- How many trips a week would it take?
- Is there a virtual option?
- Who can drive me if I cannot drive?
Common questions
Should I pick the closest program?
Only if it offers the level of care you need and fits how you will pay. Read how to choose a program for the other things to check.
What if my area does not list what I need?
Look at nearby area pages, or use the federal search at findtreatment.gov. For Dallas County, the OSAR line at 844-275-0600 offers screening and referral. Our list is a starting point, so a level that is missing here may still exist nearby.
Can I go to a program outside the area where I live?
Often yes, but it depends on the program and on how you pay. Insurance networks and public funding can have their own rules, so ask both the program and your plan.
Does a program pay to appear on these pages?
No. The only paid placement on this site is one labeled spot on the homepage. See how this site works.
