How to start outpatient addiction treatment in Dallas

Treatment you attend while living at home.

The short answer

Outpatient treatment means you attend sessions and go home after. Intensive outpatient means more hours each week. To start, call a program, do the screening, and agree on a schedule that fits your work or school.

Starting outpatient care

  1. Check that outpatient is safe for you
  2. Call programs and compare schedules
  3. Set your first session and plan your week

Is outpatient right for you?

Outpatient care can fit people with a stable place to live and support at home. If stopping could cause withdrawal, you may need detox first. If you have tried outpatient before and it was not enough, ask about partial hospitalization or residential care.

Fitting it around work

Many programs offer daytime and evening groups. Ask about the schedule before you start. If you need time off, read about time off work for treatment.
