Inpatient Drug Rehab or Day Programs: Which Fits You
Methadone clinics provide medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. Methadone itself is a daily medication, so most programs are built around regular clinic visits where you dose on-site and meet with counseling staff. Beyond the daily dosing visit, many programs offer different levels of support, such as individual counseling, group therapy, and drug screening.
When comparing programs, ask how often you must visit, whether take-home doses become available over time, and what counseling is included alongside the medication.

What to Ask a Drug Treatment Center Before You Commit
When you call a methadone clinic for the first time, it helps to have your questions written down. Ask what you need to bring to intake, how quickly you can be seen, and what the first week of treatment looks like. Ask about dosing hours, since you will likely visit daily at first.
You should also ask whether they accept your insurance or offer income-based fees, what counseling is included, and how take-home doses are earned. Finally, ask what happens if you miss a visit, because knowing the policy in advance can prevent unnecessary worry later.
How to Pay for Rehab: Insurance, Medicaid and Self-Pay
Payment for services at methadone clinics in Texas typically involves a mix of private insurance, public assistance, and direct payment. If you carry private health insurance, check whether the clinic is in-network, as out-of-network costs can be higher; your insurer’s customer service can list participating providers. For public coverage, Texas participates in Medicaid and Medicare, but not every clinic accepts these, and enrollment does not guarantee coverage for methadone maintenance—so you must confirm both the clinic’s participation and your plan’s benefits for substance use treatment.
Alternatively, many clinics feature income-based sliding-scale fees, which adjust your charge according to your financial situation, and they may also offer payment plans or reduced rates for uninsured patients. Self-pay is universally available, but daily or weekly rates vary, so ask for a clear price list upfront. Always verify current payment options with the specific methadone clinic you plan to attend, as policies change frequently across the state.

How to Choose with Confidence
When comparing nearby methadone clinics, start with the basics of daily life: how close the clinic is to home or work, what hours it opens for dosing, and how early you would need to arrive. Next, ask about the structure of care, including how dosing decisions are made, whether take-home medication is possible as you progress, and what counseling is offered. Finally, ask practical questions about cost, insurance or payment plans, and what happens if you miss a dose.
A program that fits your schedule and answers your questions clearly is easier to stay with long term.

Georgetown Addiction Treatment Questions, Answered
What should I expect during my first visit to a methadone clinic?
You can expect to provide identification, medical history, and possibly a urine sample during your first assessment. The clinic will review your history and discuss which medication options, such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone, may be appropriate for you. Many programs accept Medicaid, but you should verify this with the specific location beforehand.
What if there are no methadone clinics shown in Georgetown?
If you do not find a methadone clinic listed directly within Georgetown, nearby cities such as Austin, Cedar Park, and Temple have programs that offer medication-assisted treatment. You can use the directory filters to expand your search or look for programs that specifically list methadone services among their offerings.
What does methadone treat, and how does it work?
Methadone is a long-acting medication that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings in people with opioid use disorder. Taken daily under a clinic's supervision, it helps many people stop using other opioids and stabilize their lives. It does not produce the same high as many misused opioids when taken as prescribed. Treatment length varies by person and is decided with the clinic's medical staff.
Do I have to go to a methadone clinic every day?
Not always. At the start of treatment, most clinics require daily visits so staff can observe dosing and adjust it safely. As you progress and follow the program's requirements, federal rules allow earning take-home doses, which can reduce visits to a few times a month for stable patients. Ask each clinic how their take-home process works and how long it typically takes.
How much does methadone treatment cost, and does insurance cover it?
Costs vary by clinic and by state, and many clinics accept Medicaid or offer sliding-scale fees based on income. Private insurance coverage also differs, so the most reliable step is to call the clinic and ask what they accept before your intake appointment. If cost is a barrier, state-funded programs and some nonprofit clinics may charge on a sliding scale. Getting a clear answer about payment before you start helps avoid surprises.
