Frequently asked questions
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.
Does insurance cover inpatient alcohol rehab 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.
Is alcohol withdrawal dangerous?
It can be. Heavy, long-term drinkers can develop seizures or delirium tremens when they stop. Inpatient care lets doctors monitor and treat withdrawal safely.
What happens after inpatient alcohol treatment?
Most people step down to residential, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care, along with support groups and, when appropriate, medication for cravings.
