Rehab Centers for Pregnant Women in Fort Worth

Do pregnant people get priority for addiction treatment in Fort Worth?

Yes, pregnant women in Fort Worth get priority, because programs paid for by the federal block grant for addiction services must give them preference in admission. If no bed or slot is open, those programs must offer interim services within 48 hours.

In Tarrant County, the public route runs through the Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral line at 817-332-6329. The county’s local mental health authority runs the line with a nonprofit partner, which also offers in-person screenings at 2700 Airport Freeway. Mention the pregnancy early in the call.

Statewide, Texas Health and Human Services also points people to 2-1-1 or 877-541-7905. The public addiction programs run by that local authority are grouped just east of downtown Fort Worth, along E. Lancaster Avenue and E. El Paso Street. Trinity Metro runs buses, TEXRail, the Trinity Railway Express and ZIPZONE on-demand rides, so check the route before an intake appointment.

Medication for opioid use disorder, such as methadone or buprenorphine, is generally kept going during pregnancy under medical care rather than stopped. Ask the admissions team whether the program works with your prenatal clinic, offers childcare or parenting support, and lets children stay with you during a residential stay.

Will Medicaid pay for treatment during and after pregnancy in Fort Worth?

Texas Medicaid can cover substance use treatment for women who qualify during pregnancy. Most benefits come through managed care plans. In the Tarrant service area, the STAR plans are Aetna, Cook Children’s and Wellpoint, based on the state map revised in January 2026. Before admission, ask your plan two things: which listed programs are in network, and how long your coverage lasts after delivery. You can compare programs that list Medicaid as a payment option.

MHMR of Tarrant County charges for substance use services on the 2026 state sliding scale, so fees rise with income. Many listings also take private insurance or private pay. Women-only options are gathered under women’s rehab in Fort Worth.

Is it safe to continue methadone or buprenorphine while pregnant?

Methadone and buprenorphine are both used during pregnancy and are generally continued under medical care, according to federal clinical guidance and obstetric guidance. Stopping these medicines is not the aim. Withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines or opioids should be managed by a medical team that works with your prenatal provider, not handled alone. Local options are listed under methadone clinics in Fort Worth and Suboxone clinics in Fort Worth.

What to ask a Fort Worth program before admission

Listings here report levels of care such as detox, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient and opioid treatment. Questions worth asking the admissions team:

Does the program coordinate with your OB or prenatal clinic? Does it offer childcare, parenting support, transportation help, and continued care after birth? If you are considering residential rehab in Fort Worth, can children stay with you? Does the program have a gestational week limit for admission? Which languages does it offer, and what accreditation does it hold? Providers report their own services, so confirm each one directly. Your prenatal provider or the intake staff can also explain how reporting and plans of safe care work at birth.

Support is available at any hour. Tarrant County’s ICARE line is 800-866-2465, by call or text, 24 hours a day. You can also call or text 988, or reach the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline and the national treatment referral line.
