Addiction Treatment for Pregnant Women in Texas.
Getting help during pregnancy is one of the most powerful things you can do for you and your baby. We are here with compassionate, medically supervised care — no judgment.
Before anything else
You and your baby deserve care, not judgment.
If you are reading this while pregnant and using, you have almost certainly already been harder on yourself than anyone here will be. Addiction is a medical condition, not a character failing, and it does not become one because you are pregnant.
Asking for help takes more courage than most people will ever understand. It is also the single most protective thing you can do — for yourself and for your baby. Whatever you tell our team, you will be met with compassion.
“Will I get in trouble? Will I lose my baby?”
We will not pretend this fear is unfounded, and we will not make promises about law or reporting that no treatment center can honestly make. What we can tell you is that seeking treatment is a responsible, protective choice, and it is regarded very differently from avoiding help.
Your care with us is confidential and focused on your health and your baby’s. You can ask these questions directly on the call — they are among the most common we hear, and nobody will think less of you for asking.
The safety case
Why treatment during pregnancy matters.
There are two ways this goes wrong, and both of them are dangerous. Continuing to use carries risks for your pregnancy. But stopping abruptly on your own can be dangerous too — withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids carries real risks in pregnancy, for you and for your baby.
Medically supervised care is the path between them. Withdrawal managed by clinicians, monitored around the clock, coordinated with obstetric care — so that stopping does not become its own emergency.
This is the part worth taking from the page if you take nothing else: please do not try to detox alone because you are frightened of being judged.
- Around-the-clock monitoring by medical staff
- Coordination with your OB and prenatal care throughout
- Withdrawal managed carefully rather than endured
- Medication decisions made medically, with your OB involved
- High-risk monitoring where your pregnancy calls for it
Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. If you are in crisis, you can also call or text 988 at any time. Do not wait for a callback if something is happening right now.
Being straight with you
Where we can offer pregnancy treatment.
Pregnancy care has specific safety requirements, and we would rather tell you plainly what we can and cannot do than have you arrive somewhere that cannot take you.
We treat pregnant women at our Texas locations.
Medically supervised detox and residential treatment, with obstetric coordination, for pregnant women who meet the medical criteria that keep both of you safe. Those criteria exist for real clinical reasons — how far along you are, what you are using, and what your OB says all shape whether treatment here is safe for you.
Rather than guess from a page, call. A short confidential conversation is what confirms it, and it costs you nothing.
You will not be left with nowhere to go.
Our other locations do not accept pregnant women for detox, and even in Texas there are situations we are not the right place for. If that is you, we will say so directly rather than letting you find out later.
And we will help you find somewhere that can take you. Call anyway — being turned away from one program is not the same as having no options, and our team would rather spend the call finding you the right one.
If you are on methadone or Suboxone
Please do not change your medication on your own.
Decisions about medication-assisted treatment during pregnancy are medical and individual. Stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and this is not something a web page can advise you on — including this one.
What we can tell you is how the decision gets made here: our medical team coordinates it with your OB and with the rest of your care, so that what you take, and any change to it, is decided by clinicians who are looking at your pregnancy and your addiction together.
Being on MAT does not disqualify you from calling. Tell the team what you take and how long you have been taking it — that shapes the plan, it does not end the conversation.
- Alcohol — withdrawal carries real risks in pregnancy and should never be managed alone.
- Methamphetamine — the substance we hear about most from pregnant callers.
- Opioids and fentanyl — including where MAT is already part of your care.
- Benzodiazepines — another withdrawal that needs medical management.
- Other substances — including more than one at once, which is common and not a disqualifier.
What treatment looks like
Detox, then the work — with your pregnancy at the center of it.
Care is built around two patients rather than one. Prenatal coordination runs through all of it, not just the first week.
Medically supervised detox
Withdrawal managed by clinicians with 24-hour monitoring, with your OB kept in the loop throughout rather than consulted afterwards.
Residential treatment
Living on site while you do the clinical work, in a setting where your pregnancy is known about and accounted for.
Prenatal coordination
Ongoing coordination with obstetric care, including high-risk monitoring where your pregnancy calls for it.
Individual and group therapy
The work of understanding what led here — with a therapist, and alongside other people doing the same thing.
Trauma-informed care
For many women, substance use sits on top of something older. Staff are trained to work with that rather than around it.
Preparing for a healthy start
Planning for after — your recovery, your prenatal care, and what support looks like once your baby arrives.
Insurance and getting started
We accept most major insurance plans.
Most commercial and PPO plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment. Coverage depends on your specific plan, so the simplest next step is a free, confidential verification — and if your plan is not one we take, the team will tell you what your options are instead.
If you are pregnant and in crisis — using heavily, with nowhere safe to stay, or frightened of what tonight looks like — call. Urgent situations are what the 24-hour line is for, and the team will move as fast as your situation needs.
If this is a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room first.

(866) 461-3339- Is it safe to detox while pregnant?
- Detoxing during pregnancy should always be done under medical supervision, because both continuing to use and quitting abruptly can pose risks to you and your baby — but medically supervised detox is designed to keep you both safe. Our medical team monitors you around the clock and coordinates with obstetric care to manage withdrawal safely, especially for substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids that carry real risks in pregnancy. Getting professional help is far safer than trying to stop on your own.
- Will I get in trouble or lose my baby if I ask for help?
- This fear stops many women from getting the care they and their baby need, so it is important to hear: seeking treatment is a responsible, protective choice, and it is viewed very differently from avoiding help. Your care with us is confidential and centered on your health and your baby’s, and our team treats you with compassion, not judgment. Reaching out for help is one of the strongest things you can do as a parent.
- Do you accept pregnant women for treatment?
- Yes — we provide addiction treatment for pregnant women at our Texas locations, with medical supervision and coordination with obstetric care, within the medical criteria that keep you and your baby safe. Because pregnancy care has specific safety requirements, the best next step is a confidential conversation so our team can understand your situation and confirm the right care. If we are not able to safely serve you, we will help you find a program that can.
- I am on methadone or Suboxone and pregnant — what should I do?
- Please do not stop or change your medication on your own — decisions about medication-assisted treatment during pregnancy are medical and individual, and stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Our medical team coordinates these decisions with your OB and your overall care to keep you and your baby safe. Reach out and we will make sure your care is managed by professionals who understand pregnancy and addiction together.
- What substances do you help pregnant women with?
- We help pregnant women facing a range of substances, including alcohol, methamphetamine, opioids, benzodiazepines, and others, always with care tailored to pregnancy. Each substance carries different risks during pregnancy, which is why medically supervised treatment with obstetric coordination matters so much. Our team will assess your situation and build a plan focused on the health of both you and your baby.
- How does treatment protect my baby?
- Treatment protects your baby by safely reducing or ending substance use under medical care, managing withdrawal in a way that is safer for the pregnancy, and coordinating with prenatal care to monitor your baby’s health. Addressing addiction during pregnancy lowers risks and gives your baby a healthier start. It is one of the most meaningful steps you can take for your child’s future.
- Does insurance cover addiction treatment during pregnancy?
- Most commercial and PPO plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment. Coverage depends on your specific plan, so the simplest next step is a free, confidential insurance verification, which our team can walk you through with no obligation.
Whatever you are about to say, someone here has heard it before.
You do not need a plan, insurance details, or the right words. Tell the team where you are and how far along you are, and they will take it from there — including telling you honestly if somewhere else is the better place.
