Yes. Promises DFW in Lewisville accepts several Texas Medicaid plans for addiction treatment for adults 18+: Aetna Medicaid; Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas Medicaid; Beacon Health Options / Carelon Medicaid (includes Wellpoint); Molina Medicaid; Superior HealthPlan Medicaid; UnitedHealthcare / UBH Evercare Medicaid; Magellan Medicaid; Wellpoint Medicaid; and Driscoll Health Plan.
Our campus is at 400 Highland Dr, Lewisville, TX 75067, serving Dallas-Fort Worth. Medicaid coverage here is for primary substance use treatment only. Admissions checks your active eligibility, benefits and required prior authorization. We cannot promise that a plan will approve a particular service, length of stay or admission date.
Texas Medicaid plans accepted for addiction treatment
Promises DFW is in network with the following plans for substance use care. Select your plan for more information, or start with our Texas Medicaid coverage guide.
- Aetna Medicaid

- Beacon Health Options / Carelon Medicaid (includes Wellpoint)
- Molina Medicaid

A commercial policy with a similar name has different benefits. Have your current member card ready so admissions can identify the Medicaid product you have. If you are unsure whether a card is current, say so during the call. Network acceptance is one part of verification; your individual coverage still needs review.
Detox and residential rehab with Medicaid
If you need detox that accepts Medicaid near Dallas-Fort Worth, ask admissions about medical detox at Promises DFW. The team reviews your needs and checks whether your plan will authorize the recommended substance use care. Having an accepted plan does not automatically establish detox coverage.
For people searching for inpatient rehab that accepts Medicaid, our residential addiction treatment program is in Lewisville. Residential care involves staying at the facility. Admissions determines whether this level of care should be considered and checks the plan’s authorization requirements before explaining the available next step.
Detox and residential treatment are separate services for the benefits review. An approval for detox does not confirm coverage for a residential stay afterward. Ask admissions what has been requested, what the plan has approved and whether additional care would need another review.
PHP in Lewisville and virtual IOP for Texas residents may also be options when clinically appropriate and authorized by the plan. Each stage needs an individual coverage check. Medicaid at Promises DFW does not cover primary mental health treatment. For that need, admissions can discuss commercial insurance or other options.
Who qualifies for Texas Medicaid as an adult?
Texas has not expanded Medicaid, so many adults without children do not qualify. General eligibility groups include some adults who are pregnant; some parents and caretaker relatives with very low income; people 65+ or with disabilities, including those served through STAR+PLUS; and former foster care youth up to age 26.
Our adult Texas Medicaid eligibility overview explains these groups and links to state information. Texas Health and Human Services determines eligibility. Admissions can check existing coverage and discuss next steps if you do not know whether your benefits are active. Needing treatment alone does not establish Medicaid eligibility.
Getting here from Dallas and Fort Worth
From Dallas
I-35E north connects Dallas to Lewisville. The drive from many Dallas neighborhoods is approximately 25 to 35 minutes. From Uptown or downtown, allow approximately 28 to 30 minutes; from Oak Cliff, approximately 40 minutes via I-35E north. Visit our Dallas rehab page for the neighborhood route information.
From Fort Worth
The drive from Fort Worth is approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Routes include I-30 east to I-35E north or TX-121 north through Grapevine. From downtown Fort Worth, allow approximately 38 minutes. Our Fort Worth rehab page has more local information.
Confirm admission arrangements before making either trip. Ask for arrival instructions and the status of any outstanding authorization. The drive estimate is separate from the time needed to complete the treatment and benefits review.
What happens when you call
The admissions line is available 24/7. Tell us you have Texas Medicaid and are looking for addiction treatment. Have your plan name and member ID available. Admissions will ask about the help you need and gather the information required to check the policy.
The team checks active eligibility and the benefits for the care being considered. It also confirms the plan’s prior authorization requirements. You can ask which questions have been answered, whether the plan is still reviewing a request and what information is needed next.
Before agreeing to an admission arrangement, ask about verified coverage and any possible member costs. If you are waiting for a Medicaid application or renewal decision, tell admissions. If primary mental health care is your concern, explain that at the start so the team can discuss insurance options appropriate to that need.
Questions to ask before the call ends
- Which Medicaid product did admissions identify, and is the eligibility check complete?
- What treatment is being considered, and has the plan reviewed the request?
- Do I need to provide another document or answer a question before the review can continue?
- What should I do next, and when should I contact admissions for an update?
Write down the next step so you can follow up on an unresolved question. If you need help finding your member information, explain what is missing. Ask admissions how to provide requested documents, and follow the instructions it gives you. Before planning travel, make sure you understand whether an admission has been arranged or whether the treatment request is still being reviewed.
What to bring and what to confirm first
Keep your current Medicaid card or member ID and identification ready for admissions. Bring the admission instructions you receive and any documents the team specifically requests. If a card or document is missing, ask how to proceed before traveling.
Ask admissions for the current packing checklist once an admission is arranged. Confirm what personal belongings to bring and what the facility permits. Packing requirements should come from the team handling your admission. You can also write down questions about aftercare planning and the benefits review so they are available during the conversation.
