Mesquite is east Dallas County’s working-class anchor — a community of 145,000 along the I-30 corridor that carries significant methamphetamine, opioid, and alcohol burden consistent with east Dallas County’s documented overdose data. For Mesquite residents in active alcohol or opioid withdrawal, the 38-to-45-minute drive to Promises DFW detox at 400 Highland Dr, Lewisville, TX 75067 is the pathway to physician-supervised withdrawal management.

East Dallas County Detox Access
