What detox means
Detox (withdrawal management) is care while your body clears alcohol or drugs, with staff watching for and treating withdrawal. It's a first step, not treatment on its own: most people go on to residential, PHP, IOP or outpatient care afterward. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care.
Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: most Texas Medicaid members are in a managed care health plan (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids or STAR Health), and the program has to be in that plan's network.
