Frequently Asked Questions
Does Texas Medicaid cover suboxone?
Texas Medicaid (STAR) does not cover buprenorphine for adults without a co-occurring mental health diagnosis in most managed care plans. This is one of the most significant access barriers to MAT in Texas — many patients pay out of pocket for buprenorphine treatment. Low-income patients without Medicaid coverage can explore county-funded programs through Harris County's addiction services or federally qualified health centers that offer sliding scale fees.
Where can I find suboxone treatment in Houston?
Houston's Texas Medical Center includes UTHealth and Harris County's addiction services, which provide buprenorphine treatment. Harris County Psychiatric Center and Harris Health System operate programs for low-income patients. For patients with commercial insurance or willing to pay out of pocket, Houston has a range of private addiction medicine practices and clinics. Telehealth providers are also widely available for Houston patients who prefer not to travel.
Is telehealth suboxone prescribing available in Houston?
Yes. Telehealth buprenorphine prescribing is legal in Texas under DEA temporary rules extended post-COVID. Houston's suburban sprawl in Harris County makes telehealth especially practical — many patients prefer a video visit over driving to a clinic. Telehealth MAT providers serving Texas often have faster appointment availability than in-person Houston clinics.
What should I do if I cannot afford suboxone treatment in Houston?
Several options exist for low-income Houston patients: Harris Health System (formerly Harris County Hospital District) provides income-based sliding scale fees at multiple Houston locations.
