Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover dual diagnosis treatment in Texas?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care. Texas law requires group plans to cover chemical dependency treatment on terms no less favorable than physical illness, and state and federal parity rules apply. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Texas, Health and Safety Code Chapter 462 also lets a family member or other adult apply to the county court for court-ordered treatment, with a physician's certificate attached, when someone's addiction makes them likely to cause serious harm or keep deteriorating. See our guide to court-ordered treatment in Texas.
Do dual diagnosis programs prescribe medication?
Yes. Residential dual diagnosis programs include psychiatric providers who can prescribe and manage medications for mental health conditions.
What conditions does dual diagnosis treatment cover?
Common pairings include addiction with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder or ADHD. Programs assess both at intake and treat them together.
