Alcohol & Drug Rehab Near Fort Worth, Texas
Fort Worth is the Tarrant County seat, and its city limits also reach into Denton, Johnson, Parker, and Wise counties. From downtown Fort Worth, our Dallas program is roughly 35 miles east along I-30.
Discovery Point Retreat does not have a facility in Fort Worth. What we offer Fort Worth residents is outpatient addiction treatment at our Dallas location on Capitol Avenue. Our Dallas program includes a partial hospitalization program (PHP), a daytime intensive outpatient program (IOP), and an evening IOP that meets Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 pm. Medical detox and residential care are provided only at our facilities in Ennis and Waxahachie, south of Dallas.
To find out whether a Dallas program makes sense from where you live, call (855) 245-7133. Our admissions team answers twenty-four hours a day. The call is confidential, and calling does not commit you to anything.
OUTPATIENT CARE IN DALLAS FOR FORT WORTH RESIDENTS
With outpatient treatment, you take part in scheduled sessions and sleep at home. From Fort Worth, the drive east is a real part of that schedule, so weigh it alongside what a clinician recommends after your evaluation.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP). A full daytime treatment schedule on several days a week. It is meant for people who need close support but not a residential stay, including people coming out of detox or residential care. PHP usually means time away from work, depending on your schedule and treatment plan. How long someone stays depends on that plan.
Daytime IOP. Fewer hours each week than PHP, a few hours per session.
Evening IOP, Monday through Friday, 4 to 7 pm. Evening IOP may fit some work schedules, depending on your hours and treatment plan. A 4 pm start in Dallas means leaving Fort Worth with enough time for eastbound afternoon traffic.
PHP and IOP include weekly one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and relapse prevention planning, and clients who step down from PHP to IOP keep the same care team. If the daily drive is what makes outpatient care hard, ask about sober living connected to our Dallas outpatient program. It may be available to people enrolled in the program who need a substance-free place to live during treatment.
FROM FORT WORTH TO CAPITOL AVENUE
By car. From central Fort Worth, I-30 runs east through Arlington and Grand Prairie into downtown Dallas, and our Capitol Avenue location is a short drive north from there. As an estimate, plan on roughly 35 to 50 minutes outside rush hour from downtown Fort Worth. Starting from north, west, or far south Fort Worth adds time, and weekday rush-hour traffic can add more.
By train. Fort Worth is not a DART member city. Its transit agency is Trinity Metro, which runs the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) with DART. The TRE connects Fort Worth Central Station and Fort Worth T&P Station with EBJ Union Station in downtown Dallas. It runs Monday through Saturday, with no Sunday service, and it does not run on some holidays. One possible rail route is the TRE to EBJ Union Station, then a northbound DART light rail train to Cityplace/Uptown Station, followed by a walk or rideshare to our location. Check the TRE and DART schedules and service alerts before you travel, including for the trip home, and our admissions team can help you plan the trip.
DRUG REHAB FOR FORT WORTH, TX RESIDENTS
There is no single way a drug problem starts. A pain prescription after a work injury runs out, and the search for more begins. A stimulant helps someone keep up through double shifts or finals. Methamphetamine or cocaine moves from once in a while to every weekend to every day. Alcohol is often in the picture too, and more than one substance may be involved.
Fentanyl adds a risk people cannot see. It shows up in counterfeit pills that look like real medication, so a pill that did not come from a pharmacy may not be what it claims to be.
During an evaluation, a clinician may ask about the substance, how long and how much you have been using, your mental health, your home and work situation, and any past treatment. Depending on that assessment, the starting point may be PHP or IOP at our Dallas location, or medical detox and residential care at our Ennis or Waxahachie facility first if that is safer. You can take time with the decision.
TCU students. Texas Christian University has a Collegiate Recovery Community for students in recovery, considering recovery, or looking for a substance-free community. It is peer support, not treatment, and it can go alongside an outpatient program.
Call (855) 245-7133 to start the conversation. The first call is free and confidential.
ALCOHOL REHAB FOR FORT WORTH, TX RESIDENTS
For some people, drinking stays occasional. For others it slowly takes up more room: a few beers after work become a twelve-pack, weekends start on Thursday, and mornings get harder to face without something to steady the nerves.
Warning signs include drinking more than you planned, hiding bottles or cans, missing work or family plans because of drinking, and feeling shaky, sweaty, or anxious when you go without.
Stopping after heavy, long-term drinking can be physically dangerous, with risks that include seizures and delirium tremens. We do not recommend detoxing from alcohol at home. If someone in withdrawal has a seizure, severe confusion, hallucinations, a high fever, or an irregular heartbeat, call 911. If you need detox, it happens under medical supervision at our Ennis or Waxahachie facility. Afterward, some people continue in PHP or IOP at our Dallas location while living at home in Fort Worth. Call (855) 245-7133 to talk through what that could look like.
WORK AND FAMILY
Work. If PHP is recommended, ask HR confidentially about protected leave or an employee assistance program. If you work early, late, or rotating shifts, say so on the first call so our team can talk through realistic options. We only coordinate with employers, schools, or family members with your written consent.
Family. The people you live with feel the effects of addiction too. Ask our admissions team how family members can be involved. Any family participation depends on the treatment plan and on the consent of the person in treatment.
We’re here to make treatment as accessible and affordable as possible, and we are in network with many insurance providers. Not sure about your coverage? We can help.
PAYING FOR OUTPATIENT REHAB
Cost depends on the level of care, how long you are in treatment, and the details of your insurance plan. Discovery Point Retreat works with many major insurance carriers and will verify your benefits before you start, so you know what your plan covers for PHP or IOP. Coverage varies by plan. Discovery Point Retreat does not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
To check your plan, call (855) 245-7133 or use our insurance verification page. If you have no insurance, or your plan will not pay for treatment, our admissions team can explain self-pay options.
CRISIS LINES ACROSS FORT WORTH’S FIVE COUNTIES
Because Fort Worth reaches into five counties, the public crisis line depends on your address. Confirm which county serves your address, and the Texas HHS directory lists each county’s mental health authority.
Tarrant County: My Health My Resources of Tarrant County. For a mental health crisis, call or text 1-800-866-2465. For information about MHMR of Tarrant County services, call 817-335-3022.
Denton County: Denton County MHMR Center. Crisis line 1-800-762-0157.
Johnson and Parker counties: Pecan Valley Centers. Crisis line 1-800-772-5987.
Wise County: Helen Farabee Centers. Crisis line 1-800-621-8504.

Specialty courts. Tarrant County runs court-supervised programs that pair accountability with treatment, such as the Misdemeanor DWI Court Program. If you are on probation or in a court program, ask your supervision officer what treatment you need first. Then let our admissions team know, and we will be straight with you about whether our outpatient program meets those terms.
Peer support. Mutual support meetings are held across Fort Worth and Tarrant County. Your care team can help you find meetings that fit your week.
STARTING WITH DETOX OR RESIDENTIAL CARE
For some people, outpatient treatment is not where it is safe to begin. A clinician may recommend medical detox or residential treatment first for heavy, long-term alcohol use, benzodiazepine or opioid dependence, or when someone has tried outpatient treatment before and relapsed.
Detox and residential care take place at our Ennis and Waxahachie facilities. Once that stage ends, some people continue with PHP or IOP at our Dallas location. Our team can talk with you about what comes next while you are still there.
SOBER PLACES TO SPEND TIME IN FORT WORTH
Early recovery frees up time that used to go elsewhere. A few city-owned places in Fort Worth to fill some of it:

Trinity Park, 2401 University Dr, Fort Worth, Texas
