Programs with the fullest public record come first. Levels of care and insurance are as listed on FindTreatment.gov or the program's own website. "Licensed by Texas HHSC" means the program matched HHSC's list of licensed chemical dependency treatment facilities, checked Nov. 4, 2026; a program without it may be licensed under another name or address.
What self-pay (cash) usually covers, by level of care
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.
Ask the program for its self-pay price in writing and what it includes, and whether it offers a payment plan or a sliding-scale fee.
Call a program and ask
Call the program and ask them to verify your benefits; it's free and takes a few minutes.
- Do you accept self-pay (cash) for substance use treatment, and for which levels of care?
- Are you in network for my exact plan, and is prior authorization needed?
- What would I pay a day or a week, and when is the next opening for an assessment?
Call the program yourself: Find Care doesn't take your insurance details, collect your name or pass anything to a program for you. This is general information, not a guarantee of coverage. What your plan pays depends on your plan, your state, whether the program is in network, and whether your plan decides the care is medically necessary. Call the number on your card, then the program, before you start.
