How to License an Addiction Treatment Facility in Texas

Firstly the licensing process in Texas involves the submission of a comprehensive application along with several crucial attachments tailored to the specific level of care being provided. The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) provides explicit guidance on the necessary documents to be included for your particular level of care. Ensure that these attachments are aligned with the requirements outlined by HHSC.

It’s important to note that faith-based organizations are granted an exemption from this licensure requirement. However, faith-based addiction facilities are not authorized to administer any form of medical services. Licensure is necessary for intensive outpatient programs as well as in patient programs. We encourage you to review the extensive list of health codes required for compliance.

Lastly, HHSC conducts health compliance on-site inspections to determine compliance with the provisions of the Health and Safety Code. Like other states, fines will be imposed up to $10,000 for violations that severely impact patient care. Accreditation and licensing are essential not only for state requirements but necessary for insurance billing.
