Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Richardson, Texas
Richardson sits immediately north of Dallas with around 120,000 residents, and the Telecom Corridor along US 75 holds one of the largest technology employment concentrations in Texas.
The University of Texas at Dallas is based here and enrolls around 30,000 students.
The city sits within Dallas County, where overdose deaths rose over the past four years against a falling national trend.
Dallas County counted 582 drug overdose deaths in the twelve months ending December 2025, 3 percent higher than the 564 of four years before.
Any increase stands out against a national picture of steep decline across the same period.
Medicaid was never expanded in Texas, and the consequence shows in the coverage figures: about 16 percent of residents hold nothing, the highest rate in the country, with 617,000 to 920,000 adults stranded in the gap between Medicaid and subsidised Marketplace cover.
Texas draws eligibility narrowly. A substance use disorder alone qualifies no one for Medicaid regardless of income; the usual routes are a severe mental health diagnosis with disability status, or being a parent earning under about $4,000 a year.
Neighboring Plano, Garland and Addison carry their own listings, with the wider picture across Texas.
Which Level of Care Do You Need
The figures below cover providers listed in Richardson and the surrounding parts of Dallas County. The metroplex functions as one market and Dallas adjoins directly.
Medically Supervised Detox
The withdrawal stage is managed medically in detox, a process usually taking three to seven days. Methodist Richardson Medical Center serves the city, with Level I trauma care at Parkland in Dallas. For alcohol and benzodiazepines the first seventy-two hours carry the real danger, which is why supervision matters rather than willpower.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
A residential program is a live-in placement lasting thirty, sixty or ninety days in most cases. Residential capacity is concentrated elsewhere in the county, with placement across the metroplex routine.
Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment
Placement in Texas follows American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria, which means a proper assessment should name a level of care rather than defaulting to what is available. DART’s red and orange lines both serve Richardson, which makes attending several times a week practical from much of the city.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Co-occurring treatment works on the addiction and the mental health condition at the same time, which is what the evidence supports. North Texas Behavioral Health Authority is the local mental health authority for Dallas County. The North Texas Behavioral Health Authority covers Dallas County, on 866-260-8000, with OSAR on 844-275-0600.
Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living
Recovery residences offer shared substance-free housing in the months after a program finishes. Certification runs through the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network as the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, and it is voluntary, so ask directly. Recovery housing choice is wider across the metroplex than within Richardson.
Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage in Richardson
Richardson household incomes run above the state median, supported by the technology sector. Listings in Richardson itself are limited, so the practical search usually extends into the surrounding county and beyond. Dallas County deaths edged up over the past four years while the national figure fell, which is reason enough not to defer a decision.
How Much Does Addiction Rehab Cost?
Expect statewide figures of $1,400 to $4,700 a week for medical detox, $5,900 to $24,500 a month for residential, $6,900 to $13,300 for PHP, $2,550 to $8,800 for IOP and $1,220 to $4,900 for outpatient.
The student population at UT Dallas has different needs from the corporate workforce, and university cover typically ends at graduation.
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox (7–14 days) | $1,500 – $4,900 per week | $220 – $700 |
| Residential inpatient | $6,000 – $25,000 | $200 – $830 |
| PHP | $7,000 – $13,500 | $230 – $450 |
| IOP | $2,500 – $9,000 | $80 – $300 |
| Outpatient | $1,200 – $5,000 | $40 – $170 |
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Residential inpatient | $17,000 – $50,000+ | $560 – $1,650+ |
| PHP | $14,000 – $32,000 | $470 – $1,070 |
| IOP | $9,000 – $24,000 | $300 – $800 |
| Outpatient | $5,000 – $15,000 | $170 – $500 |
Does Insurance Cover Rehab?
Yes. Addiction treatment sits among the essential health benefits most plans are required to include. What a plan actually pays varies with the employer, the network and the level of care, so two people with the same insurer can face very different bills. Employer plans are widespread in the technology corridor. Texas Medicaid runs through STAR managed care, and students and service workers often hold neither.
Coverage and approval are separate steps. Prior authorization is standard before detox and residential admission, and network status usually decides your share of the bill. High-deductible plans are common in technology employment, so check the deductible before assuming a residential stay is covered.
Free and State-Funded Addiction Rehab in Richardson
Medicaid was never expanded in Texas, and the consequence shows in the coverage figures: about 16 percent of residents hold nothing, the highest rate in the country, with 617,000 to 920,000 adults stranded in the gap between Medicaid and subsidised Marketplace cover. Texas draws eligibility narrowly. A substance use disorder alone qualifies no one for Medicaid regardless of income; the usual routes are a severe mental health diagnosis with disability status, or being a parent earning under about $4,000 a year. Where the nearest program is a long drive away, that journey needs building into the plan rather than hoping it works out. Consolidating sessions or moving part of the course to telehealth are both common and both worth asking about before agreeing to anything.
For anyone in Dallas County, North Texas Behavioral Health Authority is the designated local authority. For anyone without cover, the Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral program is where to begin. Texas runs one per region across eleven regions, day and night, on 211 or 877-541-7905. The state operates through 39 local authorities in total, 37 mental health and two behavioral health, with OSAR generally housed within them.
Opioid settlement funds are handled by the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council, which sits with the Comptroller. Its September 2025 round put $21.2 million into 109 grants and covered every region of Texas for the first time. December 2025 brought a commitment of up to $25 million to UTHealth Houston for certified recovery housing, following an earlier $25 million to University Health in Bexar County for naloxone across the state. Separate payments to counties and cities have run $47.1 million in 2023, $9.2 million in 2024, $44.8 million in 2025 and $11.5 million in March 2026.
