Dallas County Mental Health Centers

Metrocare's Skillman Street clinic in north-east Dallas provides outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for substance use alongside mental health care, including an opioid treatment program with outpatient withdrawal management — so someone starting methadone or buprenorphine can do it here. Metrocare is a fifty-year-old Dallas County organization and the largest provider of mental health services in North Texas, reaching more than 55,000 people a year, with pharmacies, housing support, veterans services and intellectual and developmental disability services around the clinical work. Its substance use programs are person-centered and trauma-informed. Accepted coverage includes Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Magellan, Scott & White, TRICARE through Humana and UnitedHealthcare, along with Medicare, military insurance and state funding.

Metrocare Services is the largest provider of mental health services in North Texas, serving more than 55,000 people a year across Dallas County, and it has done so for over fifty years. Its substance use programs are person-centered and trauma-informed, and sit inside an unusually wide organization: mental health care for adults and children, intellectual and developmental disability services including autism, veterans and military family services, housing support, pharmacies and community social services. Metrocare is also the local IDD authority, which means its staff enroll eligible people into Medicaid programs and onto the state Medicaid waiver interest lists — a wait that can run over a decade, so getting on it early matters. Accepted coverage includes Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Magellan, Scott & White, TRICARE through Humana and UnitedHealthcare, along with Medicare, military insurance and state funding.

Center for Discovery's Addison site opened in May 2016 and treats eating disorders and co-occurring conditions with treatment plans customized per patient rather than run to a fixed program. Clinicians across the organization are trained in EMDR, trust-based relational intervention and motivational interviewing, and the site sits within a national network, so a patient who needs a different level of care or a different location can usually stay inside it.

The Menninger Clinic's outpatient services in Dallas, Texas, offer comprehensive psychiatric and addiction assessments and treatment for adults and young adults. The nationally recognized nonprofit psychiatric hospital provides specialized addiction medicine through its Center for Addiction Medicine, with services including comprehensive addictions assessments, outpatient therapy, and referrals to its Houston-based residential programs when needed.
