About Toxicology Associates Inc

Toxicology Associates, Inc. has served opiate-addicted patients in Houston and along the Gulf Coast since 1980, operating as a CARF-accredited Opioid Treatment Program in La Marque, TX. The center offers medical detox and outpatient treatment built around methadone maintenance and counseling, accepting Medicare, self-pay, and major cards.

Toxicology Associates, Inc. is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 2411 Franklin Street in La Marque, Texas — positioned to serve individuals throughout Galveston County, greater Houston, and the broader Gulf Coast region. Operating as a certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) since 1980, it brings more than four decades of focused experience to opioid addiction recovery, making it one of the longer-standing programs of its kind on the Texas Gulf Coast.

The center offers two primary levels of care: medical detox and an outpatient program. Medical detox provides a supervised starting point for patients beginning the process of stabilization, while the outpatient program is structured to support ongoing recovery without requiring residential placement. Together, these levels of care allow patients to move through early recovery and continue building stability while maintaining their daily lives and community connections.

Treatment at Toxicology Associates centers on methadone maintenance treatment combined with counseling — a clinically recognized approach for opioid addiction that addresses both physical dependence and the behavioral dimensions of recovery. The program's OTP certification reflects adherence to federal standards for opioid treatment, and its CARF accreditation signals an independently verified commitment to quality care. Services are provided in English, and the clinic operates on a structured weekly schedule with early morning and midday hours Monday through Saturday.

Toxicology Associates focuses specifically on individuals living with opioid addiction, making it a targeted option rather than a general-purpose rehab. Payment access is broad — Medicare (including select Medicare Advantage plans), self-pay, credit cards, and debit cards are all accepted — lowering financial barriers for patients in the Houston metro and Gulf Coast communities who are ready to commit to a long-term recovery program. For those seeking a substance abuse treatment provider with deep regional roots and a clear clinical focus, this center represents a durable community resource.

Opioid Addiction Treatment Serving Houston and the Gulf Coast

Toxicology Associates, Inc. has operated as a focused opioid treatment program in La Marque, Texas since 1980, building a track record in the Houston metro and Gulf Coast region that few local programs can match. The facility holds both CARF accreditation and federal Opioid Treatment Program certification — a combination that reflects a serious, standards-driven approach to addiction treatment rather than a generalized rehab model.

The center's service area covers Houston and the surrounding Gulf Coast, making it accessible to patients across Galveston County and beyond. For individuals and families evaluating substance abuse treatment options in southeast Texas, Toxicology Associates offers a well-established point of entry into structured opioid recovery.

Medical Detox and Outpatient Program: Two Pathways for Recovery

Toxicology Associates provides medical detox as the first level of care, offering patients a supervised environment for the critical early phase of opioid treatment. From there, the outpatient program supports continued recovery — allowing individuals to receive structured treatment while remaining connected to their families, jobs, and communities rather than stepping away for residential placement.

This continuum from detox into ongoing outpatient care reflects a recovery model built for sustainability. The outpatient program, anchored by methadone maintenance treatment and counseling, is designed not as a short-term fix but as a platform for longer-term sobriety — aligning with the kind of extended recovery journey that many patients and their families are preparing for.

Methadone Maintenance and Counseling: The Clinical Foundation

The treatment approach at Toxicology Associates combines methadone maintenance treatment with counseling — a pairing that addresses opioid dependence on both a physiological and behavioral level. Methadone maintenance is a well-established component of opioid addiction treatment, and its use here is governed by the program's OTP certification, which holds providers to federal standards for dosing, monitoring, and patient care.

Counseling runs alongside medication-assisted treatment to help patients work through the psychological dimensions of opioid addiction. Together, these therapeutic methods form the clinical core of what the center offers — a focused, structured approach for people committed to building a lasting recovery.

Payment Options and Access to Care

Toxicology Associates accepts Medicare, including some Medicare Advantage plans, making it one of the more accessible opioid treatment programs in the Galveston County area for patients who rely on federal insurance coverage. Self-pay is also available, with the option to pay by cash, credit card, or debit card — removing some of the common financial barriers that prevent people from starting or continuing substance abuse treatment.

The clinic runs structured hours Monday through Saturday, with early morning and midday sessions available most weekdays. Patients and families considering this program can reach the center directly at (409) 935-3749 or visit toxicologyassociates.com to learn more about scheduling and intake.
