What outpatient treatment means
Outpatient treatment is counseling for under 9 hours a week, often one or two sessions, while you keep your usual routine. It's also the usual step down after IOP or PHP. 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.
