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 Oct. 27, 2026; a program without it may be licensed under another name or address.
What MAT means
Medication for addiction treatment (MAT) uses FDA-approved medicines with counseling: buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone for opioid use disorder, and naltrexone, acamprosate or disulfiram for alcohol use disorder. 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.
