We are not able to bill Medicare
Briarwood is not a Medicare provider, so verifying your benefits here would not get you a bed. That is a limit on us, not a judgement about you, and there are detox programs nearby that do accept Medicare.

We are not able to bill Medicaid
Briarwood is not a Medicaid provider. Texas Medicaid does cover substance use treatment, but it has to be at a participating facility — so the fastest route for you is a program that already bills your plan.

We cannot offer free treatment — but free detox does exist
Briarwood is a private facility — every bed is billed to insurance or paid for privately, and we have no free beds. Admissions does look at cost case by case, so if you are close it is worth the call. If free is the only option that works, state-funded and grant-funded detox is real, and worth calling today rather than next week because intake lists move.

Meetings are free, and you do not need us for them
Briarwood is a medical detox facility — we treat withdrawal under clinical supervision, which is a different thing from a support group and costs accordingly. If meetings are what you are after, go straight to the source. We are not affiliated with any twelve-step fellowship.

We do not offer one-day or rapid detox
Withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids follows a timeline that medication can make safer and more comfortable but cannot compress into a day. Briarwood runs medically supervised detox that typically takes several days, with a physician and nursing staff on site. If a few days is workable for you, we would genuinely like to talk — the option below restarts this with that in mind.

The essentials
What a benefit check tells you
A benefit check is a phone call we make to your insurer, not a form you fill in and hope. It comes back with the figure you would owe for a detox stay — usually between $0 and $5,000 — before you agree to anything. We cannot bill Medicare or Medicaid.
Would rather not type?
Admissions can run the same check on the phone in a couple of minutes.

Straight answers
Insurance questions people actually ask
Do you take Medicaid or Medicare?
No. Briarwood is not a Medicare or Medicaid provider, so we cannot bill either one, and the questions above will tell you that straight away rather than after a phone call. findtreatment.gov lists nearby programs that do accept it, and the SAMHSA National Helpline on 1-800-662-4357 is free and staffed around the clock.
Do you take TRICARE or VA benefits?
Yes. Choose TRICARE or VA on the coverage question and admissions will verify it with the plan directly.
What will I actually pay if I have insurance?
Most insured clients pay between $0 and $5,000, depending on how much of your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum you have already met. If you have met your out-of-pocket maximum for the year, you may pay nothing. The benefit check is what turns that range into your number.
Does verifying my benefits commit me to anything?
No. It is a check, not an admission, and there is no deposit. People use it to find out where they stand before deciding anything, which is what it is for.
Will my employer or my family find out?
Not from us. We do not contact your employer, and we do not tell anyone you contacted us. Your insurer sees a benefits enquiry the same as for any medical care, and an explanation of benefits may go to the policyholder — worth knowing if the plan is in somebody else's name.
My carrier is not on the list. Does that mean you cannot help?
No. The list covers the plans we see most often. Choose the last option, and admissions will check your plan by name — most out-of-network plans still pay something toward detox.
What if I have no insurance at all?
Self-pay starts at $350 a day and admissions can quote your stay before you commit. Reduced rates are considered case by case. What we cannot do is treat somebody for free, so if free is the only workable option the questions above will point you somewhere that can.
