Does insurance cover residential addiction 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.

Most admissions start with a phone call. A specialist asks a few questions about substance use, health and insurance, then helps you find a program with an opening. Many residential programs in Texas can admit someone within a day or two once insurance is verified.
How does Texas license residential treatment?
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission licenses chemical dependency treatment facilities under Health and Safety Code Chapter 464, with rules in 26 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 564. You can check a license through HHSC's online licensing system or its directory of licensed facilities.
