Behavioral healthcare in Fort Worth.

The right level of care depends on factors including the substance involved, how long and how heavily it has been used, withdrawal risk, any co-occurring mental health conditions, and prior treatment history. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level of Care framework — a nationally recognized clinical tool — helps match treatment intensity to individual need, ranging from outpatient counseling (ASAM Level 1) to medically managed inpatient detox (ASAM Level 4). SILC Health conducts a free, confidential admissions assessment by phone to help identify the appropriate level for your loved one. Call us at (844) 422-8640 to start that conversation.

SILC Health is a national behavioral healthcare company, and we help Fort Worth residents access treatment through clinical guidance, insurance verification, and connections to appropriate programs — whether through our own network or trusted partner facilities. Our admissions team at (844) 422-8640 is available to guide you through the process regardless of where treatment ultimately takes place. We focus on finding the right clinical fit for each individual rather than directing everyone to a single location.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders — most commonly opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. For opioid use disorder, medications include buprenorphine (often prescribed in an office-based setting), methadone (dispensed through specialized opioid treatment programs), and naltrexone (a non-addictive blocker). For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram are FDA-approved options. MAT clinics, opioid treatment programs, and office-based buprenorphine prescribers operate throughout the Fort Worth and Tarrant County area. NIDA describes MAT as the gold standard for opioid use disorder treatment.

A dual-diagnosis program treats substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder — simultaneously and in an integrated way, rather than treating them sequentially or in separate settings. This matters because, according to SAMHSA's NSDUH data, roughly half of adults with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health disorder, and treating only one condition dramatically reduces the likelihood of sustained recovery. Genuine dual-diagnosis programs have psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners on staff and use evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and EMDR alongside addiction treatment. SILC Health specifically screens programs for integrated dual-diagnosis capacity when this is relevant to a client's needs.

Our admissions team conducts a no-cost insurance verification by calling your plan directly with your benefit information. We confirm what levels of care are covered, whether prior authorization is required, what your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum are, and whether specific programs are in-network. This service is completely free and confidential, and it gives you a clear financial picture before you commit to any program. Call (844) 422-8640 and have your insurance card ready.

Yes, and in some cases a geographic change is clinically beneficial — particularly for individuals whose home environment, social networks, or triggers are closely tied to their substance use. SILC Health helps Fort Worth residents access programs throughout the United States, coordinating insurance pre-authorization, logistics, and travel when treatment outside the region is the right clinical choice. Residential and inpatient programs in other states may also offer specialty services — trauma-focused care, executive programs, gender-specific treatment — that are not available locally. Our admissions team at (844) 422-8640 will help you evaluate all options.

If someone is in immediate danger — including overdose, active suicidal ideation with a plan, or severe psychiatric crisis — call 911 immediately. For crisis support that stops short of an emergency room, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) provides free, confidential help 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is staffed by trained counselors. SILC Health's admissions line at (844) 422-8640 is also available to help families understand what level of care is appropriate in the aftermath of a crisis and how to access it quickly.

Several options exist for Fort Worth residents without insurance coverage. Many residential and outpatient programs offer sliding-scale fees based on income. SAMHSA's Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant funds a network of publicly funded treatment providers in Texas accessible to uninsured individuals. Medicaid eligibility should be explored, particularly for individuals with low income or a disability. Some programs also offer financing plans or scholarship beds. SILC Health's admissions team can help you identify financially accessible programs that do not require private insurance — call (844) 422-8640 to discuss your situation confidentially.

Inpatient treatment — which includes both medical detoxification and residential programs — requires the patient to live at the treatment facility for the duration of care, providing 24-hour clinical supervision, structured programming, and a controlled environment free from substances. Outpatient treatment allows the person to live at home (or in sober housing) while attending scheduled therapy sessions, ranging from standard outpatient (a few hours per week) to intensive outpatient (IOP, nine or more hours per week) to partial hospitalization (PHP, 20 or more hours per week). The appropriate setting depends on withdrawal risk, safety at home, severity of use, and life circumstances. SILC Health's admissions team helps Fort Worth residents determine which setting fits their clinical and personal situation.

Treatment duration varies widely based on the individual's clinical needs, the level of care, and how recovery progresses. Medical detoxification typically lasts three to ten days. Short-term residential programs commonly run 28 to 30 days; longer-term residential care can extend to 60, 90, or even 180 days. Intensive outpatient programs typically run eight to twelve weeks. NIDA emphasizes that treatment lasting fewer than 90 days has limited effectiveness for most individuals, and that longer engagement — including continuing care after the primary treatment episode — is associated with better outcomes. SILC Health helps clients and families plan for the full continuum rather than just the first step.
