Texas Mental Health Centers

Center for Discovery's Plano location opened in 2015 in an estate-style home in the Willow Bend neighborhood of Plano, Texas, and provides residential eating disorder treatment for young people of all genders aged 9 to 17. The program treats anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, orthorexia and other specified feeding or eating disorders, including cases with co-occurring mental health conditions, and the wider organization also runs intensive outpatient care at three to five hours a day, three to five days a week for adolescents and adults. Private insurance is accepted, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Optum, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, TRICARE and TriWest.

Innova Recovery Center is a trauma-focused treatment provider on Paesanos Parkway in San Antonio that holds The Joint Commission's National Quality Approval and runs separate tracks for women, men, teenagers aged 12 to 17, and military members, veterans and their families. Treatment plans are matched to co-occurring conditions and assigned to therapists trained in specific specialisms rather than a single general program, spanning residential care, partial hospitalisation and intensive outpatient groups plus online therapy. Accepted coverage includes Medicare and private plans such as Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, TRICARE, Magellan and Ambetter.

Promises Dallas-Fort Worth is a residential addiction treatment center on Highland Drive in Lewisville, Texas, serving adults with drug and alcohol use disorders in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Metrocare's South Lancaster Road clinic in southern Dallas provides outpatient and intensive outpatient care for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions, and — unlike Metrocare's other Dallas sites in this directory — it runs an opioid treatment program with outpatient withdrawal management, meaning methadone or buprenorphine can be started and maintained here rather than referred elsewhere. Metrocare has served Dallas County for over fifty years and is the largest provider of mental health services in North Texas, reaching more than 55,000 people a year; 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.

BasePoint Academy provides mental and behavioral health treatment for teenagers and adolescents in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Its model is shaped by what keeps families out of treatment rather than by levels of care alone: same-day assessments by phone, scheduling built to fit around school with academic support, and a virtual option for families who cannot travel to a site several times a week.

This is Metrocare Services' Dallas East clinic on Samuell Boulevard, offering outpatient and intensive outpatient behavioral health care — counseling and mental health treatment alongside substance use programs that Metrocare describes as person-centered and trauma-informed. Metrocare is the largest provider of mental health services in North Texas, serving more than 55,000 people a year across Dallas County for over fifty years, and a client at this clinic has the rest of that organization behind them: accessible pharmacies, veterans and military family services through the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic, housing and supportive social services, and intellectual and developmental disability services. 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.

Carrus Behavioral Health is the children's and adolescent arm of Carrus Health, which has operated in Texas and Oklahoma since 2008. Its partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs are for ages 8 to 17, and its inpatient hospital takes children and adolescents from age 5, so a family moving between levels of care stays inside one organization. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by Texas Health and Human Services.

MHMR of Tarrant County is the county's community mental health provider, and most of what distinguishes it is reachable before anyone becomes a client. Its ICARE Call Center takes calls and texts on 800-866-2465, and a Mobile Crisis Outreach Team provides face-to-face crisis response 24 hours a day to children, adolescents and adults anywhere in Tarrant County — the team comes to the person rather than the other way round. Families expecting a child or raising one under five can reach Help Me Grow North Texas on 844-689-5437 for early support.

Oceans Behavioral Hospital in Amarillo provides partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient behavioral health care for adolescents, adults, older adults, service members and first responders, treating mental health conditions alongside co-occurring substance use. Oceans runs a dedicated STAR military program and a track for first responders built around service-related stress, trauma and professional identity, and offers a virtual outpatient program for people who cannot attend in person. Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA benefits, private insurance and self-pay are accepted.

Cedar Crest Hospital & Residential Treatment Center has provided behavioral health and substance use treatment in Belton, Texas for over 30 years, on a private campus of more than 30 acres with walking trails, a pool and a gym. It offers a full continuum — adolescent residential, inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient care — for children, adolescents, adults, older adults and military personnel. Its Legacy Adult Chemical Dependency Program is built around the 12-step model, and the hospital accepts Medicare and Medicaid.

BasePoint Academy treats teenagers and adolescents for mental and behavioral health conditions, and is built around the practical obstacles that stop families starting: same-day assessments are offered by phone, and its programming is designed to be compatible with school, including academic support and a virtual option so treatment does not cost a term. The site serves families across the northern Dallas–Fort Worth area, in Collin and Denton counties.

Shannon Medical Center's behavioral health service in San Angelo provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care within a general medical center, so a patient whose mental health condition sits alongside a physical one is treated in the same institution. The service states that it customizes care to the individual and monitors progress to adjust treatment rather than running a fixed program.

EHN Central Outpatient is the outpatient arm of Emergence Health Network, the designated Local Mental Health Authority and Local Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Authority for El Paso County. Someone starting here has the authority's wider system behind them — crisis and emergency services staffed 24 hours a day on 915-779-1800 or 988, and programs at multiple sites across the county — so a change in what they need does not mean changing organization. EHN is Joint Commission accredited and a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic.

Lakes Regional Community Center is a nonprofit community center in Paris, Texas, providing mental health, intellectual/developmental disability and substance use services across Northeast Texas. It offers outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use counseling and treatment for teens and adults, and accepts Medicare and Medicaid.

Care Star Recovery and Wellness runs outpatient mental health and addiction treatment on an integrated model, with therapy, psychiatry and medication management under one roof rather than referred out to separate providers. Its partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and standard outpatient tracks are scheduled around work and family commitments, and the practice is in network with commercial insurers — its stated reason being to keep the cost barrier low enough that people start.

Carrus Behavioral Health is the children's and adolescent service of Carrus Health, which has operated across Texas and Oklahoma since 2008. Its partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs run for ages 8 to 17, with an inpatient hospital for children from age 5, so a young person's care can move between levels inside one organization. Joint Commission accredited and licensed by Texas Health and Human Services.

Blue Heron Recovery is a drug rehab center in San Antonio, Texas offering 24/7 medically supervised detoxification, a partial hospitalization program, an intensive outpatient program, evening IOP, and outpatient therapy for substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. It notes that residential treatment is coming soon, and currently supports clients through structured day and evening care while they live at home.

Bluebonnet Trails Community Services is the community mental health authority for a group of Central Texas counties, and this Marble Falls site on Innovation Loop provides outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use treatment. Its licensed substance use counselors work with adolescents as well as adults, alongside the organization's mental health, autism and early childhood intervention services and its crisis services. Bluebonnet Trails works with the Texas Veterans Commission on veteran services, and holds Federal Transit Administration grants — so getting to appointments across a rural catchment is something the organization actually addresses. The program takes Medicaid and Medicare alongside private and 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.

Carrus Behavioral Health is the children's and adolescent arm of Carrus Health, operating in Texas and Oklahoma since 2008. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs serve ages 8 to 17, and the inpatient hospital takes children from age 5, so a family does not change organization when the level of care changes. Accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by Texas Health and Human Services.
