Frequently asked questions about Cenikor Foundation
Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.
Cenikor Foundation appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: CARF and State-licensed. You can verify this yourself at findtreatment.gov — we are not affiliated with this center and are not paid by it.
According to its federal listing, Cenikor Foundation accepts Medicaid (Texas Medicaid (STAR)), private insurance, military insurance / TRICARE and self-payment. It also offers a sliding fee scale, meaning what you pay is based on your income. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 888-236-4567 before you rely on it.
We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that Cenikor Foundation reports a sliding fee scale based on income and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.
Cenikor Foundation reports offering Inpatient, Residential, IOP and Outpatient care. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.
Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, substance use disorder counseling and 12-step facilitation. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.
Yes — Cenikor Foundation accepts Children/Adolescents. Adolescent treatment usually looks different from adult treatment: more family involvement, schooling, and attention to co-occurring issues like anxiety or ADHD.
Cenikor Foundation reports providing services in Spanish. If language is a barrier for you or a family member, ask when you call — it changes how much of the treatment actually lands.
