This dataset depicts Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities downloaded from DSHS Web site April 1, 2020. A substance abuse treatment facility may be any facility that offers treatment for persons with chemical dependency. Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 464, requires facilities providing substance abuse treatment services to be licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services. In addition, the Department is charged with the registration of faith-based chemical dependency treatment programs that are exempt from licensure. Faith-based chemical dependency treatment programs offer only nonmedical treatment and recovery methods such as prayer, moral guidance, spiritual counseling, and scriptural study. Substance abuse treatment facilities are not certified to participate in the federal Medicare Program.The Substance Abuse Facility Licensing Group develops rules that establish minimum standards for substance abuse treatment facility licensing procedures and registration procedures for faith-based exempt programs; for granting, denying, suspending and revoking a license; for licensing fees; and for operation and care.https://hhs.texas.gov/doing-business-hhs/provider-portals/health-care-facilities-regulation/substance-abuse-treatment-facilities
This dataset depicts Narcotic Treatment Centers downloaded from DSHS Web site April 1, 2020. This layer was geocoded using the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service.
Narcotic Treatment Clinics are specialized medical clinics that treat patients addicted to heroin or other opiates. Patients are prescribed maintenance or medically supervised withdrawal doses of methadone or buprenorphine. Confidentiality of patient identity is protected by Federal law. NTCs are required to provide or offer referrals to patients for the following: social and human services, mental health services, educational and vocational services, family counseling, and HIV/AIDS counseling, prevention, and risk-reduction education. The Narcotic Treatment Section of the Patient Quality Care Unit is responsible for regulating and inspecting NTCs in Texas. Currently, there are 75 NTC maintenance programs that treat approximately 11,000 opiate-addicted patients. NTC Listing is list of currently licensed NTCs. The NTC Listing has the names, addresses, and phone numbers of NTCs by city. We enforce regulations to protect the patient, to ensure that minimum standards are met for the operation of the NTC, and to minimize the possibility of diversion of narcotic drugs outside the treatment setting. To assist in the enforcement of regulations, we provide copies of statutes, rules, and regulations related to NTCs, and provide assistance to NTCs with interpreting and complying with the regulations. We maintain a confidential central registry of NTC patients to prevent multiple enrollment. We also answer consumer questions, provide information about NTCs, and assist patients in locating a clinic in their area.Currently, two narcotic drugs are approved for the treatment of opiate addiction, methadone and buprenorphine. Both are long-acting opiate drugs that do not generate the euphoria of an opiate (i.e. heroin, hydrocodone), but do reduce the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. These drugs can be given daily. Numerous scientific studies have shown that treatment of opiate addiction with methadone or buprenorphine combined with counseling and other rehabilitative services:Improves individual functioning.Facilitates the patient's attempts to make a positive lifestyle change.Reduces the amount of illicit drug use.Reduces the rates of criminal activity associated with opiate addiction.Reduces the incidence of health consequences of intravenous opiate addiction, such as bacterial infections, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, HIV, and sexually transmitted diseases.Reduces joblessness.https://hhs.texas.gov/doing-business-hhs/provider-portals/health-care-facilities-regulation/narcotic-treatment-centers
